I'm going to take time to leave a review here, which I rarely do. I've wanted liquid watercolors for quite some time, and this set has more colors in bigger bottles for less than half the price at what I'm able to find locally. However, I hesitated greatly to order given the negative feedback left by previous customers about poor shipping conditions. Unfortunately, my experience was the same as the others. THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT. I want to make that clear. I appreciated that the seller took the time to wrap each individual bottle in a separate plastic bag with a twist tie at the top. I do feel like effort was made, and that bag actually helped contain at least some of the mess. However, one of my bottles did smash (the box was barely big enough to hold the ten bottles and there was no additional protection like bubble wrap or tissue). The liquid watercolor ran out of the top of the bag and saturated the cardboard box. It obviously also leaked on some of the other bags in the box. Incidentally, the color that broke was red, which was one of the three most important colors to me in the ten color set. :-( It irks me when people give low ratings in a product review for customer service issues. I do like the product itself. However, I'm breaking my own rule and giving a low rating based on customer service because when this particular item has a shipping issue, it's a BIG issue. It's paint! I suggest that if you want to buy this product, you find a way to message the seller and specifically state your concerns about properly packaging the item before shipping.
That being said, the reputation of liquid watercolors being significantly bright and easy to use is spot on. This is a fabulous tool to add to an art supply collection. I do many projects with my young daughter, and she can use these with great success. Much easier than rubbing at traditional cake style watercolors with her brush trying to get the proper consistency.

I really like this product, but received it with a damaged bottle and that leaked everywhere.
I also received two of the same color, which I don't need, and would have definitely preferred a color that was not already included.
The colors are great and I really like working with them, but I doubt I'll order this again. I'll go for something else that has better reviews on the packaging.

There really is a lot of product for the price and they seem very pigmented (haven't used them yet) but I can tell by how the blue busted open during shipment is my guess and stained the labels for half of the bottles, blue. There are a lot of colors and they are a good size. I'm excited to use them despite the mishap. Looks like they need a new way of packaging these according to the other review as well.

Strong pigment, good color. Bottles were slightly smashed when arrivedbut I think they arrived to amazon that way -they were still in there manufacturer box. Liked the colors enough to not complain about the still functional bottles :) nice tiny squirt bottle opening for minimal flow while dispensing.
Beautiful high quality! enjoy for yourself!!

I purchased these for homeschool projects. Nice vibrant colors and a good value. We've tried them with our art spinner and had great fun.
