The best way to re-do cabinets is to strip old finish off completely, the reason for this is sometimes its hard to tell if the old finish is water based or oil based, I purpose never to mix the two. If the finish your dealing with is a factory finish it may be oil based, the best way to tell is to pick a small inconspicuous area and apply some oil based paint and wait a week or so to see if you have any peeling, cracking, or bubbling, if not, then scuff the surface with 220 grit sandpaper to give the surface some tooth, and paint. (spraying will give you a better finish)

How do you add a glaze to painted cabinets?
Assuming you have prepped the cabinets for a new coat of paint (i.e., you primed it correctly) you can add the glaze directly to the new paint color, at whatever ratio you want, for color and effect. (This saves a step). If you're looking for totallly consistent coverage, then add the glaze after you've just painted, while the paint is still a little wet. In addition to this, I also used a copper metallic paint on one wall, with a glaze added to lighten the intense color of the copper. It really worked well. If you want your glaze w/slight color, then add a touch of color (i.e., the paint) directly to it and save yourself a step.
