🎨 Prima Marketing Watercolor Confections: Shimmering Lights, 12 Count (1-Pack) Review

Prima Marketing have assigned this set the number 49-60. This is the second set of Prima Marketing watercolors in which they have named colors. However, the names aren't about color, with the exception of a couple, gold or copper. It's really hard to tell if the colors really "shimmer". There are a few that look really shimmery: 49, 51, 53, 58, 59, 60. The other 6 are thin. The half plates slide into the body like the other kits. Maybe glue, tape or magnets will help.

Everyone. There are no flickering lights. Everything is very orange. No dark tones, no cool cool tones. Secondly, the colors are activated for a long time. And a…

These metallic watercolors live up to their name. You are absolutely beautiful in person. It's hard to get a good picture of them.
