Has anyone tried these? Have you kiwigirl ? I'm curious about them, but not sure how they would look with a matte finish. |

I'm really annoyed there's not a nice bright pink or yellow there but I suppose they're not very vintage are they. I am looking forward to the bohemian teal, pioneer green and earl grey though, they look like I will use them a lot.

Ok, they're here! I'm not that impressed, no need to rush out and buy them I don't think. And guess what, for full matt effect, wait 48 hours!!!! so I'll take more photos on Friday afternoon to compare. But here we go for now, there's fancy new bottles, no crystal on top so they'll be a bitch to store upside down  Oh, I got pale gold in the normal drops cause I never had it so I tried that one out too  So at the moment they look like normal drops, just quite dull and dirty colours and shiny. We'll see what happens by Friday then eh!  And a close up on black  And on white...  I didn't get the brown colour cause I don't have any of the browns in the normal drops and I've never needed a brown drop, so I didn't buy that one. Editing to add day 2 photo here, definitely matt now!I wanted to be able to see the pictures together but I'll add this in below too so nobody misses it.  And here's the final photo taken 48 50 hours later! They're definitely matt now  |

I quite like them but other than dusty rose, they are all colours I scrap with fairly regularly  |

I really like some of those colours, especially the Dusty Rose and Earl Grey. kiwigirl have you put all your swatches in one place anywhere? Otherwise I search through all your posts and I feel like a bit of a stalker lol. |

I really like the earl gray and the bonnie blue, but there isn't a color I absolutely hate out the bunch. Can't wait to see what they look like when the matte has taken affect.

Is that the closest to a true red they've gotten so far?

kiwigirl thanks for posting. I’ve been wondering about theses since they were announced and the colors look great. However, I want to see how they look once they become matte. Looking forward to your pictures and review.

Here's a quick pic I just snapped of them this morning. They're definitely matt now, it's not been 24 hours yet but the matt has set in. I can't imagine them changing much more than this though? I put the picture in my post above so you can compare. To me they definitely look much better on black than on white. I also stuck my fingernail in the Bonnie Blue on the white and it's not come out at all. I think on normal drops, if you stick a nail into it, it comes out itself but this isn't and I did that last night! |

craftykitten I took pictures of my swatches for you, as you can see, a lot of colours don't work on black at all, it's definitely worth trying out before doing a line or border on any colour other than white. I'll leave this pics big so you can see them, hope they're not too massive!

I ordered all the colours except the brown.

So at the moment they look like normal drops, just quite dull and dirty colours and shiny. We'll see what happens by Friday then eh!
