I did that technique in my bedroom, turned out nice. It is important for the top coat to be darker than the base in order to produce the desired effect. You also probably want to include the glaze, as straight paint will probably be too thick to produce the desired effect. Once you roll on a small section of the second paint, you immediately use the stipple brush to add the texture to the finish. It is important to apply small sections at a time, and immediately blend in the edges of the sections before the paint can dry, otherwise you will have uneven edges. I also reccomend doing one wall at a time, and tape the edges of the walls as you do them for a neater appearance.

It will be well worth your time to test out the procedure somewhere to make sure it looks right.
