diy custom color glaze

Hi guys ! If you're following along on IG then by now you've seen the end table redo. It started out Hunter green and some weird shade of Orange. It ended up grey with BLACK GLAZE. Let me repeat myself ... BLACK GLAZE. I had never seen or heard of such a thing. I was trying to match the color of another end table and having a heck of a time. Turns out there is such a thing and that's exactly what was on the other table ... Thank you anonymous lady with the patients of a saint (sarcasm, people)! I really didn't want to drag the little people out and into hob lob so I made do with what I already had- clear wax/glaze/whatevitsallthesame.  I was a little apprehensive at first, but it is just paint after all and if first you don't succeed ...you can paint over it and they will never know ;) ! I haven't tried it with any other colors yet, but I have a feeling that it will work the same! So this is what I did ... A quarter size of the clear wax of your choice and a pea size of black acrylic paint. Wax and paint onto a paper plate and mix thoroughly (I just blended with my brush). The thoroughly part is IMPORTANT! If it isn't mixed all the way you will have all kinds of crazy colors and an uneven finish. I learned this the hard way. Mix, mix, mix! I also figure this would be a good time to mention that I do not use a wax brush when applying wax.  As long as you are applying THIN layers, it will be fine.  Maybe a tutorial on wax application should be something I do soon. Anyways, apply in said thin layers and buff immediately. Typically I wait until the wax has dried all the way, but I didn't want the black acrylic paint to set. Here is my finished product . I used 'primitive grey' and the wax / glaze mixture.
