I have seen the terms 'Matt', 'Satin' and 'Gloss' referring to paint. What do these terms mean?

International Paints
They refer to the sheen or 'gloss' level of a paint, and it does make a difference which one you select. They simply refer to the level of light reflectance in the paint, so for example, matt will not appear shiny as it does not reflect the light, whereas gloss will be shiny.

What can I add to a can of high-gloss latex paint to eliminate pinholing?

FAQs for Painting Problems by Sherwin-Williams
Just adding something to paint may or may not eliminate pinholing. If the cause of the pinholing is that the paint drying too fast, then adding up to 1 pint of water per gallon may help. Another cause of pinholing is excessive film build, which causes solvent pop. The top layer of paint dries faster than the underside and this traps the solvents in the paint. As the solvent attempts to escape from the coating, it first causes a small blister and then the blister pops leaving a pinhole.

How do we get a high gloss when buffing?

FOOTSIES PRESENTS STRATA
Make sure not to graduate too quickly from a 180 file to the white block. Try using the white block buffer a little longer than seems necessary. Be sure to wipe all grit and dust from the nail and the 3-way buffer, as even the smallest amount of dust will prevent a high gloss. Cuticle oil may be helpful. There may be a slight color variation from batch to batch. Allow the polish to dry completely before you decide it doesn't match.

What is gloss, what is DOI?

Color Center - Color Handbook - FAQ
Part of the light incident on any surface is reflected in a rough approximation of an image-forming state. The remainder of the light penetrates the surface and, after suffering absorption, scattering and multiple reflections beneath the surface, is re-emitted in a nearly diffuse state. In our everyday judgement of color, we customarily view an object from several angles and also perceive how glossy it is.
