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

So shiny metallic you can practically see your face reflected in it on the paper! Amazing, Im painting everything gold.

I purchased on the recommendation of a watercolor artist on Youtube and Im very happy with the purchase. The colors are lovely and add a beautiful shine and color to paintings.

This is the first time I have used metallic water colors. These paints seem odd when you are first wetting them up because they have so much of the metallic material in them but the final coloring was beautiful! I used them to create some Christmas cards and loved how they added a shimmer to the cards as borders and also on the tree I made.

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.

I used this for painting my own Christmas cards on black paper.

I love Coliro gold and silver metallic watercolor paints. The rich, metallic pigments range from silver through both warm and cool gold tones with a smooth, creamy consistency that is a delight to paint with and that layers easily. They especially stand out well on darker paper and pop beautifully when contrasting other rich, deep watercolor hues. They also mix well with regular watercolors to create metallic pigments in a wide variety of different colors, making them incredibly versatile. Theyre wonderful when used alongside metallic leaf in the same painting, too. As a side note, to ensure these paints flow as desired, spray them with water or place several drops of water into each well and allow them to sit for several minutes before use. This softens the paint first and improves how well they flow across the paper. I love Coliro metallic watercolors and highly recommend them to other artists and illustrators, as well as hand-letterers looking to add a nice metallic pop to their lettering work. Theyre wonderful!
