Graphic designer needing advice for unhappy client?

Question

New designer dealing with my first client and I’m having some trouble creating a logo that they would be happy with. They want it to be glittery. I haven’t found a realistic way to make a glitter effect/texture (I’ve watched a few YouTube videos and didn’t like how any of them turned out). They weren’t happy when I told them I could do a solid logo and then they could have glitter added in printing. The logo is going to go on t-shirts, totes, etc. But also on a business card and on their website. They wanted me to use a picture of glitter even when I explained that when they expanded the picture it would pixelate. Unfortunately the client still isn’t happy and is now saying I’m difficult to work with. Am I? Does anyone have any advice?

Diffuse sparkles, do up examples and have them pick.

There are other tutorials available. 
You might not be happy, but that is not the point, the client should be happy.

I suggest a new line of work if you’re seriously asking people here to help you please your first client.
