COLIRO Artist Mica Shimmer Pearl Watercolor Paint, M720 Magic (6 Color Set) by Finetec GmbH

Although I do find these paints to be overall enjoyable to use, I really wish that the seller had included more pictures because it's a little misleading.To start, the metallic shifts on these are CRAZY saturated. Seriously, the colors are borderline neon---which is cool, but I was hoping for something a little less punchy. That's mostly personal preference though so I won't necessarily let that affect my overall review. The real problem that I have with these is that they have a pretty intense discoloration effect on whatever surface you're applying it to. On white paper, the discoloration also happens to be the exact color wheel opposite of the metallic shift---which makes it kind of difficult to use for art considering the fact that you can only see the glitter from specific angles of light. The only one that I would feel comfortable using just straight on top of the paper is the silver.Because of that, I've found that they definitely look best when used as a topper for other colors (which I was honestly expecting when I bought them). They layer really well over darker surfaces like on the sharpie swatches I shared but do have a sort of grey discoloration from some angles, so just be aware of that before buying them. So basically to summarize, I've pretty much found that I prefer these in very light dustings to avoid the discoloration but still get a hint of the lovely glitter shift.Overall the paints themselves feel fairly good to use. You can get them to be pretty saturated if you want, or water them down for a nice glittery effect. They mix really well with each other and layer on top of other things very nicely. The glitter doesn't transfer or rub off once the paints are dry (which is awesome) and I can tell that they won't fade on paper for a good long while. Also I know that some people look to these for calligraphy and I don't think I would recommend that considering how strange these can look when fully saturated.I will say that the packaging is like REALLY cheap---like worse than crayola. I don't really have a problem with it since the packaging has almost nothing to do with the actual product, but considering these paints are almost five dollars a pan, it's kind of ridiculous that it comes in dollar store grade plastic. I won't lie, it definitely lowers the experience of using such a high end product. However, since it's only packaging I'm not actually going to let that change my opinions on the product.

Beautiful breathtaking colorsColor doesn’t fade is blends brilliantly, smooth .it covers well. For accents or detailing

Super pretty. Nice and smooth feeling when dried. Will be slightly discolored in comparison to pure white paper. Not too bad though.

Buenisimo

Beautiful colors

These paints are absolutely amazing! I have bought other pans from the same company because I love this brand so much!

Fantastic shimmering Iridescent watercolors with high pigmentation. I highly recommend! I attached my swatches on 140lb white and black cold pressed watercolor papers. I included two different lighting views of each because they have multiple color facets. One thing to note is the Blue Pearl and Green Pearl have a chalky appearance if painted too thickly.

Beautiful product, great service.

The media could not be loaded.  Da klickt man nichts ahnend durch Amazon, und es hüpfen einem diese Prachstücke entgegen ...Hatte sie lange in meiner Wunschliste liegen, weil sind halt doch nicht ganz billig. Aber ich muss sagen, der Kauf hat sich gelohnt. Ich hab noch nie solche Farben gesehen ... Benutzt man sie auf dunklem Untergrund, so erlebt man sein blaues Wunder! Aber auch auf hellen Untergründen kann man tolle Effekte erzielen. Direkt von oben gesehen wirken sie unscheinbar, etwas gelblich (weiß nicht woran das liegt? Vermute am Bindemittel?), aber wenn man das Blatt ein wenig schwenkt, wird die ganze Magie sichtbar. Sehr gut, um den nichts ahnenden Betrachter zu überraschen.Man kann sie super untereinander mischen und - was mir persönlich sehr gefällt - man kann sie auch mit Acrylfarbe mischen. Werde damit meinen Gemälden in Zukunft einen kleinen Hauch Magie verleihen können. Und vor allem werde ich mir auch noch den Rest vom Sortiment holen, so viel steht fest.Wundervolle Farben, ich weiß nicht warum ich die erst jetzt entdeckt habe.

Si stendono molto bene, basta poco colore per ottenere un effetto perlato e iridescente che darà un tocco di luce speciale ai vostri disegni! Sono un pò costosi, ma unici. Da provare.
