Review on 🎨 Chameleon Art Products Cool Tones Color Tops - Set of 5: Quick and Effortless Blending by Amber Perez

Bought a set of primary pens and two sets of color nozzles for adult coloring. While these pens are amazing at what they can do, I didn't like them for coloring at all and wouldn't recommend them to other colorists coloring complex, small spaces and pages. Shape and interchangeable which is great. The end of the marker is not a thin eyeliner. s is huge and thick and won't fit in small spaces or draw details in adult coloring books. The blending/shading aspect is nice but unpredictable and not for small shapes or details. The lightening of the original color is determined by how long the mixer or paint nozzle is in contact with the pen. A second changes the entire color. This can be hard to describe, but let's say you want a green to blue gradient to fill the petal of a floral design that's 1" long and 1/2" wide. There's no way to tell how long two colors need to touch to achieve this. With other types of pens, you can color one end of this petal green and the other end blue, and then combine them in the middle. Not so with these pens. I am attaching a photo from the guide showing you have different amounts of time and you can see that to get mixes you need to do the following. I have to work with large open areas, not small detailed areas like in all my coloring books. Check out all the photos other reviewers have posted in their main package reviews and you'll notice very little fade or shading in small areas, it's only in large rooms. Nor can you go back to what you did. If you miss a little speck three strokes back, you can't go back and fill it in with a different shade/color like you can now. Not only that, but if you try filling a 1" design with this mix and getting a 1/2" finish color instead, there's no way to go back and fix it. In some other reviewers' photos of their finished pages on the main package page, you can see a distinct line rather than a smooth gradient where it looks like they went back and then messed up their gradient. You should also color in one direction and one direction only. Your blend will change from light to dark so you can't go over what you made or color in a different direction or in a circle or something. You have to color in the forward direction. Yes, they show up in every book I've tried them in, so there's no way to use them in a coloring book, which has pictures on both sides. What really annoyed me was the number of pieces. /caps that you need to deal with. Again, this can be difficult to explain. If you want a mix of blue and purple, you'll have to deal with six loose pieces/caps. The first thing you do is remove the top mixer/color. Then you need to remove the cap from the tip that you want to use. So now you're holding three things: the blender tube, the handle itself, and the cap from the end you want to use. First, get the color you want to mix with and repeat the process. You now have six things in front of you. I paint in bed so the hats are on my lap which actually means they roll off me onto the bed and then when the cat moves, land on the ground. And my final annoyance was how all of the above slows you down. I colorize detailed images, colorizing, blending, shading and highlighting takes at least five hours, sometimes up to ten hours. With these pens, all those printouts and summaries and holding two tips together and counting down seconds are an incredible waste of time. And since I prefer to color intricate little drawings, you'll have to do it over and over again. again and again even for the smallest rooms.
