There are so many precious stones in the chain around the neck that it glitters, blinding passers-by. This is an exaggerated idea of what Bling is. Often this is the name of the effect of the light reflected by the diamond. At one point, another trend emerged from this in TikTok, when people began to record videos with a characteristic “radiance”. In this article, we will talk about the Bling effect in Tik Tok.
Details
Here is an example of what it might look like:

And if you open a search for the #bling hashtag, you can find a huge number of videos where this special effect is used. This is normal, because people are attracted to everything bright, and Bling, according to the original idea, generally dazzles from its brightness.
First, we will explain how to apply this effect in the TikTok mobile app, then we will give some recommendations on how to use it for the best effect, and at the end we will mention an interesting alternative that many users may like.
Nuances of use
This effect can be applied to the video after it has been recorded or loaded in the application, that is, during editing. For this:
- Open the overlay menu by clicking the overlay icon:
- Next, use the top slider to move through the video until you find the point in time you want.
- Go to the Visual section if it is not already open.
- Press the Bling thumbnail with your finger to apply the special effect with your finger. Release your finger on the last frame, where it should already end.
- If necessary, move to another point in time and repeat the action.
If you chose something incorrectly or the result did not suit you, then cancel the action using the icon in the form of an arrow. And when editing is finished, click on the “Save” button. Now you can already publish the video or edit it on TikTok.
Recommendations
The best result will come out if the original video has a suitable reflective surface: decoration, glass, metal, etc. Try also playing with retro filters, because this can also look interesting.
The Bling effect is largely associated with hip-hop music, so it will be a great addition. But you can choose any other, if it fits the general idea. In general, TikTok is a platform for the implementation of any creative ideas, so feel free to do something new or unusual.
I would also like to briefly talk about another effect that will be applied during video recording. In the TikTok mobile app, tap on the plus sign to start creating, then go to the Effects menu.
Visit the “Appearance” section, find and select the marked thumbnail:
As a result, the name “Sparkles” will appear in the upper left corner. Try recording a video now. The result can turn out to be quite interesting and somewhat similar to Bling described earlier.
Summing up
The application has an impressive library of filters and effects so that content authors can create videos without additional programs. This includes Bling, which we talked about in this article. We hope it helped you.
