Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry colors 6 color set

Perfect set for all of your night sky scenes or metallic highlight needs!

I purchased these after seeing a You Tube video where a card maker used them on her cards. She raved about them and I was impressed with them when she did a quick demonstration comparing them to other metallic paints. I purchased them , I could not help myself! And I tried them as soon as they were delivered! I was not disappointed! They are some of the most beautiful metallic paints I have ever used or owned! Just gorgeous!

I can get a thick, opaque golden application. A beautiful golden accent! I love it

The pans have a variety of golds and almost platinum which are quite lovely. There is even a white glitter choice that can be added to Christmas and winter themes. Absolutely love this set for accenting homemade cards!

So opaque and beautiful! Easy to use, takes a fair bit of water to make opaque. So worth the price.

Absolutely in love with this set. Colors are vibrant and the metallic is among the best Ive used. Keep looking for ways and reasons to use them. Paints beautifully and works well with dip pen too. Would buy again without hesitation.

Used this to splatter ink on red yardstick for card making backgrounds. Absolutely beautiful!!

For what they are, metallic watercolors, they are the best Ive used at this price point. More transparent than other metallic options (like paint markers) allows for overlay techniques and adding shine and details on top of other mediums like watercolor or pencil drawings. They have a strong metallic look to them when you move the paper under light, but transparent enough not to be a solid color. Not as good for pure gilding as a metallic marker might be, which is truly opaque.They layer with themselves okay, but not great, so if you really want a super solid metallic color that is solid no matter the angle of the paper, go with something else like metallic paint marker or metallic oil pencil. But if you want to add neat shimmer and gold effects without completely blocking out the drawing and details underneath, these are excellent for that.

Very easy to use. Colors are true, and dont granulate.

These paints are so pretty. Each color is unique when painted and not just the same looking shimmering blob. I had a difficult time getting the box open initially trying not to tear it but I’ll be trimming the tabs to prevent that in the future. I wish these came in a proper case but they work just fine this way. I tend to be very messy so I worry about messing up the cardboard with too much water, but hopefully it lasts!
