Coliro M600 Artist Mica Watercolor Paint Set – Metallic Watercolor Paints (6-Color Set, 30mm)

I am novice artist with limited experience. These metallic watercolor paints easy to use, good pigment and truly vibrant to settle in the color palette gold’s I purchased.

These paints are a bit thicker than actual watercolors and dont quite behave like them either. So they are a bit difficult to work with if youre doing wet on wet. But they work amazingly well for wet on dry! The one major downside I found while working with these is that they dont pick up like normal watercolors so if you make a mistake its really noticeable.

These watercolors are excellent! I have tried many different types of metallics and pearlescent watercolor pigments and have found them disappointing. I could never quite get the same sheen or luster as I can with gold leaf or gold acrylic. Until now! So happy I took the risk and purchased these paints. They work as an over or underpainting as well as stand alone. Diverse and exactly as advertised. I will definitely purchase this companys products in the future.

Got this palette to make Christmas cards and they exceeded expectations! There is an array of gold colors which each had their own unique shimmer and base color so that one can find the color which has the desired effects. I was surprised at how easily the colors activated with water, and when using a #3 WC brush the amount of color pigment went just as far as the amount of water in the brush. I was able to produce not only a varied-colored (gold & silver) wreath, I was also able to create a handdrawn gold border on other watercolor cards I had made. Look forward to using this set in the years to come!!!

Used this in my calligraphy class with a glass pen. Lovely depth and shine...exactly as advertised. Shipping was extremely quick! Would definitely purchase again.

I love these so much!!!!!!

Bought these to use while painting Christmas card. I’m definitely not a pro at all watercolor, but I’m not a total newbie. I cannot say enough about these metallics & the value for your money. No chunky textures & they go on paper so smooth. These are rich colors and you can definitely tell the difference between the golds on paper. I had some set that claim to be different golds all in one pallet, but you get them on paper and you can barely tell the difference. Not so with these!!! I can use these transparent easily or less h20 for opaque. These will last a loooong time. I was so impressed that I immediately purchased the Earth Metallic pallet also. It’s equally impressive. Highly recommend.

as a calligrapher, i had to try this palette out and im super happy i did. it does take quite a bit of water to loosen up the ink, but once you find the right balance, its great and flows well....but it does take some trial and error to get the flow right. loooove the way they shimmer once dried. definitely looks more impressive in person than in a photo...almost looks embossed. i love this for calligraphy with a pointed pen.

There is a more expensive set of the same paints that have better packaging, but the paints themselves are top-notch quality! This particular versions plastic packaging is pretty cheap, which shows in the total price - the lid of my palette came broken on the hinge. However, I really dont mind that since the paint itself is still protected and is of great quality! If you cant afford the extra cash for the fancy palette package, buy this and receive the same quality of wonderful sparkling paints!

UPDATE: I contacted Finetec about the problem and they handled it INCREDIBLY well. Not only did they send a replacement for the paint set that had bubbles in it, but they sent me another complimentary set plus some bonus colors to make up for it just that much more! Ive updated my rating to give stars, to reflect the quality of paints themselves and the willingness of Finetec to rectify production errors~ Old Review: These paints are great quality. The colors are beautiful and shiny, absolutely outstanding. But theres a big problem with the palette I received: some of the cakes in my set have a big bubble in them. It doesnt seem present in all the cakes, but then again I havent used all of them equally. I tested each color and did a little lettering with each. After letting water sit on them a while I stirred the surface so I could letter with them and the champagne silver ended up with a hole in it. No matter who you are, a mere half hour of lettering wont blow through to the bottom of the pan of your paint. After letting them dry a little, the paints were still pliable. To my surprise, I was able to press down onto some of the paints and into what seemed to be a pocket of nothing, almost as though there was a manufacturing error that resulted in an air bubble inside my paint. This occurred in four of the colors from what I can tell, those being the Bronze, the Champagne Silver, and the two yellow gold colors in between them. I was quite disappointed at this, as these werent particularity cheap for me and Im ending up with a lot less paint than I paid for. Ive included a photo of the set after my brief usage of the paints where you can see the noticeable dips in each color I mentioned above. In short, these paints are great. The quality is good and the colors are dazzling, but for the price I paid and the amount Im getting out of it, I wouldnt deem it worth the gamble. Im serious about my art supplies, so this occurrence was a big letdown. Ill update my rating if I can get this fixed, but until then this is my score.
