▸ Why You'll Love Them
Extreme Sparkle on Every Shade Our signature feature: all seven Opal shades are infused with holographic pigments, creating an iridescent shimmer that catches and reflects light from every angle — brighter and more luminous than ordinary shimmer watercolor paints. No fixation needed.
Long-lasting Colors Handcrafted with extremely high pigment density. The custom hexagon pan size (2.6–2.8 ml) holds 5–6× more paint than a mini pan — long-lasting through tutorials and full paintings.
High Opacity The very fine pigments are completely covering on white and black watercolor paper with only one brushstroke.
An Iridescent Color Journey Inspired by the dance of light through an opal stone — the seven shades flow seamlessly from warm coral and gold to cool turquoise and purple, mirroring the gradient magic of the gemstone itself.
Fast to Activate & Easy to Use Just add a few drops of water – ideal with brushes and calligraphy nibs, perfect for both watercolor beginners and experienced artists.
Free "Fishes" Sketch Included Every Opal set comes with our exclusive Fishes sketch — a flowing fish motif on premium watercolor paper. Start painting straight out of the box.
I couldn't wait to try out my Opal and May give-away sets, so I used them to make this 90th birthday card for my mother-in-law. Paints used - Candy cane, Guave, Morganite, Pixie and Pegasus from May give-away, and Holo Caramel, Holo Honey, Holo Clover, Holo Lagoon and Holo Paradise from the Opal set. Love them!
Very nice colors in this set. A total pleasure to try out these high quality paints. I should buy the larger size because the small pan's surface is not wide enough to grab paint freely. Still, the small pan design looks really cute.

Hi Kathleen, we describe in detail how much paint it is. Also that set was our black friday special and a free add on for orders above 100 USD but I guess you also did not seet that.
I thought these would be more vibrant than they are. They do not go on as smoothly as I feel they should and have to have many layers applied to give it a smooth and finished look.
Store owner replied:
Hi Ruth, the paints are fully covering. Please make sure to activate them with a small amount of water, waiting a few minutes until they become creamy. Make sure the brush can take up enough paint - it will work fine then. Lisi shows it regulary in her videos. With regards to vibrancy I'm surprised - did you use direct lighting? In our Tutorial 6 we have a whgole chapter about the importance of lighting - you can get it when signing up for free to our newsletter - the link to the tutorial is in the welcome email. Best regards from Germany,

I am new to watercolor painting, very much an amateur but I do have say these are the most beautiful metallic paints I've ever seen. These paints are expensive,,,,,,,, but they're worth every cent. I am ready to purchase more. The only thing I would like to see is a color chart so that I could make sure that I am labeling the paints correctly.
The packaging it came in was beautifully put together. The colors ordered are absolutely stunning and beautiful! So worth every dollar. The packaging the paint came in was also high quality. Truly great experience! So excited to see the results !!! Thank you so much! ✨🙏💕
