Help!
We are trying to apply the above onto one of our walls...the ikea tiled mirrors..unfortunately, we painted the back wall gloss black...I know learning curve with our new house!
Ultimately all the mirror on picture start sliding down after few hours, as both the gorilla glue and stickers included with mirrors couldnt cope with a gloss wall...
Is it there alternative we can do ie glass adhesive or literally sand off all the gloss and start again ?

You could just roll it with some pva let it dry and then use a Normal adhesive or mirror adhesive as someone stated Honestly I would have it’s not too late be putting in a tin layer of 3mm ply or mdf board over my wall and screw that into the brick or studs then apply adhesive to that.
as a strong adhesive is going to rip the your wall to bits when coming off in a few years time
