Wolfe and Diamond FX

Hello! I pretty much ONLY paint with Wolfe. Nothing else. I heard great things about Diamond FX so I ordered some... I feel exactly like I am using Wolfe!!! Same consistency! So, are they the same? LOL

I really love the Diamond FX colors too!!

I notice the same thing!!
I really like the diamond FX....the black doesn't stain that much as wolfe does.

The official statement from the US distributor is that it is made in the same factory with the same base, but some of the formulas have varied as the brands went their seperate ways. Additionally the DFX has less perfume and the amounts you get are slightly more. 30 grams Wolfe vs. 32 grams DFX. Plus the DFX is less expensive in most cases.

Hope this helps.

well I like it regardless!!! Beautiful colors!! Thank you for the fast shipping Metina and the cute little extras that you threw in there...

I do like the colours - the lime green and sky blue are particularly nice.

Do you mean light green and light blue Shannon? These are two of my favorites as well.

I made my own Diamond FX mixed cake tonight!!! It was so fun, my first one!! Here she is.................

Oh, probably... the green is bright lime green (lighter than UV green and a little yellower - sort of like chartreuse but a little deeper and greener) and the blue is the colour of the sky...

I wish there was a consistent COLOUR naming system!!!

Shannon, have you heard of the 'Pantone Matching System' (PMS)? It's what graphic artists use to match colours no matter the medium. It's a number assigned to each colour on a 'fan' of colours similar to what paint stores will have. I guess we could match colours to that and make it easier to tell what colours are even online. It just means you'd have to buy one of the fans (which aren't cheap).

Yeah... I know Pantone... use it for logos and corporate stuff. But as you say... to use it I would have to get the fan... and then everyone else would have to get it too... and then there is the variation in colours between batches of the same brand/colour...

I'm a DFX fan, as well. I don't have a full set yet, but I'll be buying strictly DFX as I replace my paints.

I am excited to try the TAG brand.... Now if only I could figure out where to buy some.... Most places I have found won't ship internationally!!!

TAG is the same as DFX and Wolfe....really. Same factory. It is just being imported to Australia by an Australian painter, branded as TAG and sold at a very reasonably price IN Australia. They have to pay a fortune for Wolfe and DFX as there are a few middlemen involved, but by importing directly from the factory they are able to have it well-priced for their own market.

I wouldn't worry about trying to get it - DFX for you will be a better cost. If you did order from Australia to get TAG you have to add the shipping costs, and possible duty/taxes on when it gets here.

Good to know -I am still sorting it out -by Spring I hope to have a nice set up and stop wasting money searching for what I like. I am going to check them out in Philly this weekend.

Suzy,

Let's see a demo with that rainbow cake. I like the combo!

TAG is private label Diamond.

I use a mixture of TAG and DFX . TAG doesn't have the metalic colour range.

I use DFX and Eulenspiegel. This is a German brand. Probably not available to your country.

I love the rumors that get started about the Wolfe Company and DFX. I find it interesting that Nick and Brian Support Diamond FX, and that Diamond FX is doing so well. The paints are made in the same factory in CHINA. China is not held to the same restrictions as we are in the United States and any factory can make makeup for anyone they want. The formulas for the paints Diamond FX/Wolfe are very similar, but they are different, and the colors are similar, but again they are different. The packaging is similar but different too. So, then there are the many rumors...everything from FDA compliance, to going out of business, and now the Licensing issues....What will the next rumor be and why?

Metina, what do you know?

Oh man, I didn't even see that you wrote this!!!! I will try to get to that sometimes this weekend!!

The majority of my kit is Diamond--love the colors and how rich the pigments are Diamond Black and White are my personal MUSTS for linework!

I know nothing. I have heard rumors, but hate to speculate as this will only add fuel to the fire and fires burn. Ouch!

I just received a huge order yesterday from DFX and have another one coming. So no problems that I see.

But at the end of the day with so many wonderful brands of face paint on the market, there will be no shortage of things for us to use.

Beware with TAG - I have heard a lot of complaints about the state of the packaging from the wholesaler.

As in the paint pots being broken, etc. This is from a supplier who sent me most of the range to test (I still haven't, whoops).DFX etc seem to have a better care.

So basically yep as Shannon says, its the same almost exactly as Wolfe, DFX and VIP MUA. Chepaest usually depends which country you live in as to which wholesaler is closets / cheapest to your supplier.
