Super surprised
These inks are absolutely gorgeous cannot believe the beautiful colors. Oh Lord the shimmer is amazing. I was debating on these because they were new to me but should have gotten them off the bat. Generous amount and very concentrated. They stand up to the best of the best inks and well worth the price!!

If you like shimmer, you will LOVE this!
This is the best for all-around shimmer in your project that does not sink. Deep vivid, vibrant colors. I’m on my second bottle of blue, black, yellow and red. The green is amazing. Purple not so much. For some reason it comes out Opaque, dead, eggplant color, which was disappointing, but you can’t win them all.

Very Shimmery
Love each color and the iridescent shimmer it gives. I do not use this in resin I use it to create watercolor designs on different products. Both of these in the picture were pure black and I added a few colors to the upper black tile and then colors to the larger black tile.

Limited use with resin
EDITAfter even more testing I have come to like these inks and had a lot of fun experimenting with them. Some of the secondary & tertiary colors don't cure as I'd expect. When I mix primary colors to make secondary and tertiary colors I don't have the same issues, so I think some of the colors are mixed differently and just don't like my resin with high UV resistance. I think the issue with the shimmer turning into murkiness in deeper pours is related to microbubbles because they do shimmer if the project is put into a pressure pot. Just be aware that the shimmering glitter in these inks are microbubble magnets and take extra care in mixing your resin and managing bubbles when doing deeper pours. The inks that don't work as expected turn out well when mixed with some of the oddball colorants that also don't work well in my resin (I have a silver mica powder that cures with a brownish tint but when combined with the orange ink the silver cures correctly the orange cures as an aqua color).---Because I didn't like how these inks turned out (a couple of wrecked projects), and I have multiple friends who swear by them but they don't have this particular set, I decided to give them a fair chance so I ran a test in resin. On a silicone mat, I poured several spots of ~2ml of resin and dripped 3 drops onto the middle of each of the resin spots. I put some white of the same brand next to the resin and dragged a small amount of color with a dotting tool into the white and swirled it three times, but just on the edge of the resin. The resin was warmed before mixing and hit with a heat gun multiple times during and after the experiment but bubbles were abounding at around 3 hours, so they're a part of the final sampling. *Picture attached*The shimmer is only visible in very shallow pours (1/16") and anything deeper than that the effect either becomes a murkiness or if close to the surface gains a metallic property. Pink and green are the weakest colors, pigment-wise, and they have the highest amount of shimmer, but they were also the colors that turned the resin matte. With the naked eye, the green is barely more visible than the blender. The black (nebula) is opaque. The t-rex white underwent the same test (sans adding and swirling on the side) and the resin got especially thin and spiderweb-like, shown in the pic.I poured some of the mixed orange resin into a dice mold that had some metallic turquoise (mica powder) with a 12-hour cure (past cure-to-touch but not fully cured) and the orange cured into a semi-opaque greenish-yellow. I thought it had somehow mixed with the resin below, but then I checked the remnants drying in the pour cup and it was bright yellow with a green tint (included next to the orange in the pic). I've had the orange cure yellow, green, and blue without any influence from other colors. When the orange has been in contact with other colors it takes over the whole piece and changes everything to light yellow with varying opacities and the occasional weird effects.Dripping is the only way I've gotten these inks to be vibrant. If they get stirred into resin they lose a lot of pigment, change color in the cure, and take over other colors. I would say these aren't intended for use in resin, maybe the other sets work better but these act differently than all of the other alcohol inks I've used. These were also sent in an unpadded mailer, which destroyed the included storage box, so you might want to plan on another organization method. The company was willing to send me a replacement set of inks when I contacted them and had 5-star customer service. These aren't bad inks but they offer very little for me. YMMV
