Reviews of Wilton Lily Nail Set

Wilton Lily Nail Set
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I love the variety of sizes this set comes in...from large to super tiny. I have used it time and again and continue to get great results!

These things are ultra-cheaply made, all plastic, and the "nail" breaks off very easily rendering it totally useless for making morning glories because you can't twist it while you're piping the icing into the bowl of it. The two-piece aspect is a joke too. The pieces don't fit tightly enough to be of any benefit when you're lining it with aluminum foil. Don't waste your money. Try to find a metal version of it if you can.

Good to have both the Nail and Lily set. It's constructed with nice strong materials which I thought for the price was a nice surprise. I purchased the books for instructions on how to make many styles with this tool.

I used this set of chipboard in conjunction with the Green Woodland paper stack. These animals are so cute and allow so many great creative options. I used it to make a book for my son's 1st year. It was a nice alternative to a more traditional baby theme.

I mistakenly thought these would have some type of adhesive backing. I was wrong. They are very cute but I needed to use glue dots to hold them on, which was fine, although I would have liked them better if they had a sticky backing.

These pencils have a great colour range. I've been using a similar range of Staedtler pencils since the '90s. Deep, rich colours.

I haven't tried them with water as yet so no feedback there. Having bought 2 sets (12 and 24), I think I'll be right for pencils for the next year or so.

They are abit pricey but they'll last for quite awhile so I consider them to be good value.

If you like good quality pencils with deep colours, you'll like these.

Van Gogh Watercolor Pocket Box Set of 12 10 ml Tubes Reviews

Van Gogh Watercolor Pocket Box Set of 12 10 ml Tubes
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
I really like these watercolors. They blend well and work with all of the watercolor techniques. They dry quickly and the colors remain vivid after they are dry. This set comes with a Van Gogh brush which I found to be a surprisingly well-made little brush considering it was part of a set. I wish I could find more of this brand of brushes, but from my research it appears they are not sold individually in the United States. Too bad, because I really like them.

The colors which are included in the set are:

Permanent Red Light

Madder Lake Deep

Permanent Lemon Yellow

Azo Yellow Medium

Burnt Sienna

Cobalt Blue

Payne's Gray

Permanent Green

Ultramarine Deep

Viridian

Yellow Ochre

and Chinese White.

The set would have been more useful to me if instead of Chinese White it had included Cerulean blue (which is such a wonderful color for skies and water), however I was able to buy individual tubes of watercolor at Dick Blick, and I have now added Cerulean Blue and a few other colors to the original group. I've discovered that almost all "sets" of watercolors include either Chinese White, Titanium White, or both which makes no sense to me since usually with watercolor, the paper is used as the "white" in a painting. But, I got this set for a very good price, it shipped quickly, and I couldn't be happier with the quality of the paints. Van Gogh watercolors are made in the Netherlands by Royal Talens, and are considered to be"Student" grade, but the quality is excellent. To quote from the Dick Blick web site, "Artists who try out Van Gogh products are often surprised that they're considered student grade." I'm very happy with these paints.

I have the zero, one, and two in these mini brushes. These are the best you can buy and are wonderful. BUT they are for detail work or paintings where the person sits, they are not for huge paintings. I work with tiny details and honestly I could probably benefit from even smaller brush sizes. They wash and dry well, they have maintained their shape nice, but still need to be re-sculpted after a few days, which is simple just use brush soap, shape brush with soap in it and let it dry. These are so amazing!

This brush was part of my second set of W&N series 7 brushes. I use them for painting miniatures. There's not a lot of consensus among miniature painters on many things, but I've never heard to the series 7 referred to as anything but "the best" or "among the very best" brushes for the task.

My first Series 7 brushes lasted for almost 4 years (They are still useable now, but can no longer hold the fine point needed for detail work). They're pricey, but well worth it,

My sons tend to abuse the knees on their jeans, and so we need to keep patches around the house to keep them in their jeans. These work really well. I tend to cut them into thirds (as that size works well for the holes we seem to get around here), and round the corners like the description says you should if you cut these down. I also apply these to the inside of the jeans instead of the outside, and we have never yet had any issues with them coming off or having any other wear issues. These have allowed my sons to be able to wear their jeans until they outgrow them, and even made it so that most of the pairs can be passed on to the younger guys!

I ironed them on following the directions word for word. They started to peel after the third day of wearing the item. You pretty much have to sew them on, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of buying these...

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I bought this cause I was in a painting class and had trouble keeping my clothes and other objects free of paint.

As sloppy as I am, this product reduced stray blotches dramatically. It also keeps all your brushes neatly organized during and after your painting session. It folds in half vertically and fits into about an inch wide slot in your painting bag, which leaves room for all your other artsy junk.

One of the cheapest, slickest accessories I own for painting, and perhaps one of the most useful (if only it could help me grasp contrast as well as it grasps brushes).

This product is absolutely great. I volenteer my time as a clown to raise money for the Shriners Childrens Hospitals and do face painting at various locations and events. I have a brush for every paint color and this holds them all so they don't roll around on the table. The angle of the brushes can be adjusted easily and when not in use the brushes are well protected. Love, love, love this product.

Great for taking to an art class, or when painting "plein air' ( not on a windy day though!). The longest brush it will hold is approximately 12 ", so not a good choice if you are an oil or acrylic painter who likes long hog hair brushes. As stated by the manufacturer, maximum capacity is 12 brushes.

I found these brushes to be of average quality. Some were better than others. Some lost the hairs rather quickly. The finish on the brushes were very nice and they appeared to be excellent brushes at first.

I was impressed by the variety of brushes for the price, but that was where my favorable impressions ended. Several of the brushes had inconsistent thread lengths and needed to be trimmed for consistency, and I had one brush literally fall apart in my hand while I was using it, the capping connecting the brush to the shaft just falling off. Probably to be expected given the Made in China stamped on every brush. All in all, probably not a terrible investment if you just need a selection of brushes to get you through a college elective or high school art class as long as you don't mind having to glue a couple of them back together, but certainly not a worthwhile investment for a serious artist or avid hobbyist.

Best Deals for 30 Fine Art Paint Brushes for Acrylic, Oil, Watercolors

This is a good starter set for anyone beginning to paint. The set has brushes for oil, acrylic, and watercolor painting. However, it has been my experience that you can use any brush for any type of paintig. As you get more experience you will fine you like some more than others. That is why I recommend a cheaper set like this to start out with. You can spend a fortune on brushes if you want to but why invest alot of money until you are sure you are going to like to paint.

These brushes (and alot of the cheaper ones) shed a little. If this happens you can take a tooth pick and gently lift the hair off your canvas.

Recommend for all beginners.

They were shipped to me in a reasonable amount of time. However, I was expecting these brushes to somewhat work... As I was taking them out of the package, 4 of them fell apart. The rest were very wiggly too. Also, the oil brushes were completely stiff and had some sort of resin or something on them, and they had very tough bristles overall.

I would not recommend. This was a TERRIBLE product.

I wanted some bright, diverse colors to add to my pastel collection for more colorful paintings and this set fit the bill. My pastel collection is pretty mixed, mostly Sennelier and Unison with darks by Ludwig and select highlights from Schmincke. These Mt. Vision colors are bright, reminiscent of a Neiman oil painting! I don't understand the previous reviewer's comment about these pastels being "unbending". I don't expect my pastels to bend, but these are generally soft, a bit less so than Schmincke or Unison, but nowhere near the "hard" pastel types and very good inbetween balance.

These Pastels are AMAZING, they blend wonderfully and there are so many shades and tints available! I can tell that they are individually crafted with care. Mount Vision Pastels doesn't have that film like layer around them that usually is off color or waxy. Every mark, even strait out of the box, is true to the color I am expecting. Thanks for putting so much care into creating such a wonderful product for those of us who use pastels to enjoy. Do you happen to make any other mediums?
