Hope you're having fun with the pearl glaze on your walls - are you likin' it?! I bet it's pretty.

Not liking it yet. I think my walls may have too much texture on them, or I should have had the glaze tinted a shade darker or lighter than the wall color. To be fair, the guy at Lowe's said that the pearl effect wouldn't show up much with the glaze being the same color as the wall, but I didn't want a huge effect. So, what I got was an effect so understated that you can barely see it. LOL.

I think I need to wait and see what it looks like when it is completely dry. At least it didn't turn out looking bad and I won't have to paint over it.

Oh, no. After all that work, but as long as it's a pretty color, you may like the subtle glaze even better. I've always used at least two different colors (usually one darker & one lighter) of glaze over my paint - except for our bedroom, which is really, really subtle - just a touch of white glaze over light-colored walls. (which is also the way I did the guest house walls because, being small, it needed light walls to open it up)
