I love the color after applying two coats of black wax. BUT, I can’t seem to buff it out to a nice, unsmudgy, sheen. I’ve waited two weeks, so it ought to be dry enough. Any suggestions?

Store owner replied: Gabriella, Your piece looks amazing! You did a wonderful job. Thanks so much for sharing with us!
We bought this old dresser and since I was intrigued by Any Howard's expertise and her products, I used the Aubergine paint and Cerused the drawers of the chest of drawers. Now I love my piece! Thanks, Amy!!
Love this color for this dresser. This dresser is 70 years old. I polished up the hardware and added a green-gray stencil to each drawer. People now have offered to purchase this dresser. Thanks for a great product.
This was my first painting project in many, many years! Boy has paint come a long way! No sanding? Who knew! The One Step paint is amazingly easy to use and spreads easily on the furniture. It made the whole process so easy that I could concentrate on being creative through the process instead of worrying about paint coverage!
Absolutely perfect color!! I recently updated my master bedroom and was looking for the perfect shade of purple for this curbside find desk. It turned out even more beautiful than I had even imagined!!! Can’t wait to move it into my bedroom and let this piece be the focal point it deserves to be!!
I just love this deep purple color. The original screen was a drab brown. This adds so much life to the room. It was so easy to use with a roller (and a brush for hard to reach areas) — no primer, great smell and dries fast and beautiful. What a breeze! Amy's paints will be my go-to from now on! - Maryann S.
I was skeptical after seeing a video of a lady that reviews paint. Even though I watched several of A.H. I knew right off she did not do her homework. This paint scared me. It was Barney purple in the can and going on. It dried to a deep rich color. Went on so nice, smells divine. I’m still mildly shocked when I walk into the room. I think I still love it. It was a spontaneous decision on the color. I will be using this brand over and over!
I used this paint over a dated, varnished hall tree and loved how it turned out!
Beautiful color, beautiful coverage, used dark wax over to protect finish. Love the rich color
I can't rate the ballet white, I was sent the incorrect color but am very excited to try it once it's received 😊
I was very impressed with this paint. I couldn’t believe how smooth it looked even if you thought it was going to have brush streaks in it. It dries so quick! I do however think you should talk more about the actual painting in the how to videos. Bc I noticed it got thick and I didn’t really k ow what to do, I think I should have poured some out in a container instead of leaving it open the whole time. I did spray water on my paint brush. But over all I loved it.
Love this color
The richness & depth of color of the One Step Aubergine is extraordinary. Love it!
I love this painting I love how it smells it is absolutely wonderful paint to paint with thank you
