Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry colors 6 color set

I bought this to add a little bit of shimmer to my holiday cards and its turned out to be a beautiful pallet. The darker hues are quite opaque and the lighter ones blend beautifully with othere colors to add some shimmer. Also, it doesnt rub off with I was worried about.

The paints are very good and I used them on my home Christmas cards and they performed well. My only complaint is that the paper packaging is only the cover for the paints. No plastic cover made it less easy to use for me,so be careful to open the paper box carefully as it is the only cover that you have after use.

Can’t say enough wonderful things about these metallic watercolors! Go on smoothly and shine, shine, shine! The metallic gel pens are no match for these! When you see the difference you will not go back to gel pens! Gorgeous! And so convenient to use! Packaged so conveniently and easy to use! I love, love, love them!

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

Pros: All colors are very pigmented, perfect for accents and detailing Color 906 White Gold can be mixed with other colors to get a metallic color Good range of golds to use Cons: Packaging, since the pans come in a paper box holder, honesty its not much of a con if you have a place to put them in Pans arent full size so they wouldnt fit most plattetes You may get packaging in a non English Language (I did, not sure what language) Some colors can be quite semi transparent but with the right mix of water this issue can be avoided Honesty Im in love with these, I cannot recommend them enough since theyre much more cheaper than Fintec and a good alternative, plus 906 is a great color to mix with other watercolors to create metallic. Packaging is the only issue some people would face but honesty the stars are based more on the paints themselves but I strongly recommend On shipping I got it quickly

These are absolutely wonderful. They are shimmery and go on smoothly.

I absolutely love these so far. They produce very vibrant colors if applied fairly or, with a lighter hand, a mere sheen/accent. I wish they were cheaper, however.

Very vibrant and great for adding details onto artwork. Each shade is noticeably different and not too similar to one another. One problem is that is does smell weird once you add water to it, but I try not to have it too close to my face.

The pigment itself is pretty good. I’m a beginner so I don’t have anything else to compare it to BUT if you want to venture yourself with some metallic shades and don’t want to splurge then this is a great option. The packaging is pretty bad —it’s cardboard (makes sense for the price) but what I’m not too comfortable with is the huge size of the wells. They are huge and not enough product on them (for such a big presentation). This makes it hard to carry them on a regular palette. Other than that I love them. Sparkly and in my opinion the “copper”-like tone and the darkest gold have a nice coverage to them.

These are beautiful color and the end result really add a lot to your art piece. Highly recommend.
