Where did you buy this brand? I haven't seen it around.

Also, no offense, but your avatar creeps me out. I think it is the weird Photoshop black background thing?

First of all....

Thank you Daphne, for taking the effort to make all these swatches for us!!

hahaha, Melinda, one of my friends hates the way I make the surrounding black (it's not done well, I know, but I don't have enough patience to wait for her to do it).
I will look for another avatar, that's less creepy
(I have to delete almost every background because of stuff in the pictures we don't want to show on the www)

And the brand is a dutch brand, and I've heard it's made in/by the same factory as Wolf and DiamondFX.

PartyXplosion's comparable to TAG.

ty lizzy!

Glad you weren't offended!! Xoxo!! So where do you buy it, online? And are the prices comparable to Wolfe or other major brands? Also quality?

I bought it in a kit, 26 colors 50gr.
Quality for me is hard to compare, but I like it!!! Wolf is very hard to get, and also Diamond FX is harder to get as PartyXplosion in Holland. When you talk of professional facepaints, Grimas, Kryolan and Superstar (FAB)are the easiest to find (in stores) in Holland, PartyXplosion you'll see more and more and sometimes Eulenspiegel. For Mehron, Diamond FX and Wolf you really have to look (but I now where to find the DFX)

I've only painted with Grimas (I didn't look talented in any way), Superstar, that was better already and now PartyXplosion.

Next brand I will try is Cameleon, don't know yet which colorblock I will buy (think "Swan" really like that one!)

I think the other (more experienced) Dutch painters can tell you more about it.

Wow! Those colors are awesome!

Thanks so much for doing this, Daphne - it's really useful!

Melinda - I have a whole variety of brands in my kit including Wolfe, DFX, TAG, Superstar, Snaz, Cameleon and Paradise, though not Eulenspiegel or PartyXplosion. Superstar is much, much creamier than the others, which means it has a tendency to go mushy if you're not very careful. However, the colours are absolutely beautiful - with a couple of exceptions such as the Mint and Lime, IMHO. They're generally rich, opaque and very pretty, particularly the shimmer colours. Their silver and gold metallics are just amazing.

I can't comment on their relative prices because it's very different over here in Europe. Whichever paints are made closer to home tend to be the cheapest!

You can buy Superstar under the brand name "FAB" from a few places in the US including Silly Farm. I don't know whether Metina's considering stocking it.

I hear from a friend that PartyXplosion is very similar to DFX and TAG in terms of consistency and opacity, but I haven't tried it yet.

Kammy x

So that's the same as fab? Cool!!! I have been wanting to try them but can't justify buying them.
I am going to look at my paint, I have a bunch of paint that i split so i could have 2 colors in one. Mostly tag and maybe 2 DFX.
Going to have to take pics and load them to my album.

Some metallic party explosion are similar to superstar like the blue is similar to shiva blue, also the wine metallic is pretty.
