ARTISTRO 2 Gold Dual-Tip Acrylic Paint Pens - Multisurface Metallic Markers for Glass, Rock, Fabric, Wood, Plastic & More - 1 mm Fine & Brush Tips

So first off: Great Pens! A lot of fun and easy to use! But I'm not here to sell you these pens, instead if you are interested in buying these extra-fine tip paint pens like I was, you may be wondering 'what set should I get?' Well, let me help! I will go over which extra-fine tip sets have which colors and their overlaps, as well as the odd choice Artistro has made in naming the same color twice for two different sets (maybe their hoping you'll buy the same product twice?). Firstly, if you want all the colors (not including the extra metallic colors from the metallic set, and the glitter colors from the glitter set) then all you will need is the 42 box set! It's generally priced around a little more than a dollar a pen, which is a pretty good deal. I have shared a picture of the colors listed on the box for your reference as well as a picture of all the pens lined up in the same order. Next, you may notice the third picture I've shared is also pen colors from the side of a box; it is the 30 box set. Strangely enough these would appear to be very different colors! Oh, but not so! Almost every single "additional" color here is just renamed (I happen to like the majority of these names better, by the way) without an actual new addition to be found. (Also I'm not sure if the print settings were off when the packaging was produced, but their color swatches are very different.) So below is a list of the 30 colors from the 30 box set and their corresponding twin from the 42 box set: 30 box set 42 box set 1. Chartreuse = Bud Green 2. Spring Lemon = Yellow 3. Sunburst Yellow = Orange Yellow 4. Coral Orange = Orange 5. Scarlet Red = Red 6. Wine Red = Purple Red 7. Pale Pink = Sakura Pink 8. Pastel Violet = Light Purple 9. Light Violet = Purple 10. Violet = Dark Purple 11. Indian Blue = Blue 12. Sky Blue = Sky Blue 13. Light Turquoise = Shallow Green 14. Spruce Green = Dark Green 15. Walnut = Brown 16. Putty = Tan 17. Light Cream = Cream Yellow 18. Pale Yellow = Khaki 19. Gold = Gold 20. Cool Gray = Cold Grey 21. Warm Grey = Dark Grey 22. Silver = Silver 23. White = White 24. Black = Black 25. Turquoise = Jewel Green 26. Emerald Green = Green 27. Vivid pink = Pink 28. Baby Blue = Brilliant Blue 29. Extra White = Extra White 30. Extra Black = Extra Black So, if you are curious to know which other colors are actually in the 42 box set, but maybe don't want to do the work of searching and cross-checking the two pictures I provided, I will list them here: 31. Fluorescent Yellow (yup, that's what it is) 32. Emerald Green (it's brighter than the "Emerald" Green from the 30) 33. Melanie (it's a greenish blue-green color despite being named weird) 34. Sapphire (a little brighter than Sky Blue) 35. Purple Stars (blue-violet) 36. Pigeon Blue (a dark grey blue) 37. Tawny (a mix of orange and tan) 38. Camellia Red (a bright red, almost pink) 39. Dream Purple (a little warmer and darker than Light Purple) 40. Bright Pink (more natural in tone than Pink's neon look) 41. Run Red (it's a light orange cream color) 42. Pale Pinkish Grey (terrible name; it's very similar to Run Red, a little less bright) So, if you got the 30 box set and you decided you wanted the colors you are missing out on from the 42 box set, is there a way to get them without buying duplicates of all your 30 colors? Yes! Almost. Minus one: Fluorescent Yellow. The 15 box set called "Special Colors" here on Amazon, but labeled "Trending Colors" on its package actually has all your remaining colors needed sans that super bright yellow. You'll also get repeats of Chartreuse and Sunburst Yellow, as well as the ever-present White and Black. So not a bad buy if you just want to expand from your 30 box set. But maybe you're like, 'I just want some basic colors, why have you been wasting my time with all these fancy color names?' Well, you probably should just get the 12 box set then. It's very basic. It has Black, White, Gold, Silver, Pink, Dark Purple, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, and Brown. Have fun!

Absolute god tier paint markers! I bought them to add accents on top of a gouache painting I’m going, and they make such smooth crisp lines that are shiny and splendid. And I discovered that it’ll seamlessly blend with the gouache for an incredible gradient if I add the gouache while the marker paint is still wet on the paper. I cannot emphasize enough how awesome these are, I got all I was asking for and more!

Bold color and quality! 2 different tip sizes, doubling the value and dried quickly.

1 marker arrived broken (no ink would come out) but the other worked great and had a nice gold color.

Better than most paint pens as far as how long it lasts and the death of the color.

I love these markers so much they’re perfect for coloring. The only thing I don’t like about them is how the color is very bright. It’s very hard to shade with them or make things look realistic, but when making posters and stuff these markers are really good and I also put them on canvases and they came out really well. I just hope for a better variety and easily you blend bowl markers that’s it but they dry really quickly and the marker quality is good. The the paint and the pens as I mentioned before. The only problem I have is the colors, but other than that, I love these acrylic paint pens, and they are perfect for posters or other crafts.

Acrylic pens can be temperamental. Some require lots of shaking to get the paint flowing. Not these pens. The gold paint flows remarkably well. I found them easy to use and a good amount of sparkley gold color.

These are excellent pens! Not quite as “sparkly” as I was hoping for but still excellent! Nothing beats metallic water color but I just do not have the time to do all the lettering on my cards with a brush!! Nice tips, work well on all types of paper including cheap crap. If you are creative you will not be disappointed in these.

Good quality pens. Took a while to get the paint flowing but got there in the end. The ink flow is easily controlled,even on finer lines and gave an excellent even finish after two coats.

Bought these for caps to be signed. Previous paint pens by other brands needed to be shaken and the nib pushed in when writing. We didn’t want that and these are perfect. Ink flows brilliantly, no need to shake them to get started and the nib stays in place so no unnecessary ink splodges. Would say the silver looks better on black cap

Brilliant!! I’m using the thicker end to replace the leather? coating on the toggle fasteners on my old, but very warm duffel coat!! It looked quite scruffy where the artificial leather was falling off but it will look so much better once I’ve completely recovered the loops xxxxx

These pens are fantastic. So smooth and perfect for fine lines. Works just as well as an expensive one.

They are really nice, I was pleasantly surprised because they were so cheap. They write very smoothly, and dry quickly.
