THE festive season is almost upon us and we can barely contain our excitement over the prospect of wearing glitter every single day.

But it turns out - sparkles don't only have to be for Christmas jumpers and festive manicures.

That's right, you can now actually buy glittery PAINT for the walls of your home - and the best part is, they'll only set you back £5 in B&Q.

Mums have been obsessing over the purse-friendly paint on the American Facebook page I Need This In My Life.

Sharing a photo of rooms decorated with layers of sparkly paint, one user wrote: "I need this!!! Those glitter walls."

What's more, the glittery paint is available in silver, gold and purple too - and mums are going wild for it.

 According to the product description, the special effect paint gives a "durable and long-lasting glitter effect finish on a range of surfaces".

And where some mums have built up layers of the paint to get a statement sparkly wall in their homes, others have applied it over a grey base coat.

Sharing a photo of her own sparkly paint feature, one mum replied: "[It] has to have a base coat for sure - I did my ceiling fan."

Blown away with the sparkly results, one mum replied: "Looks fabulous, trying to work out where I can put mine!"

Another gushed: "I need the gold and purple! Sooo pretty."

Meanwhile, a third mum replied: "We're painting my daughter's whole room in glitter paint... I would do the whole house but I feel like that's a little too extra."
