I think sand would work better.  The walnut shells would get stuck in the little bottles once inside.

they have different sizes of shells. I tried them once but the best way to use them is like a sand blaster, that is the way they are to be used.
But i am not sure how good this vibrateing tumbler will work. but i tried many different ways till i bought one and then made 4 more tumblers.

You have to be carful using sand. Sand may contain materials like garnets that are harder than the glass and act as a cutting agent.
