Who has the Best Silver-- DFX/wolfe/Snaz?

bump

I still love the tulip silver and I am sticking with it. The only thing my snaz silver is good for is blending with other colors to make shiny.

Does the tulip silver wash off well? I tried some tulip products (not the silver) and they stained something ridiculous...

Also, I was in a pinch so I used tulip glue for some jewel masks, I'm really on the fence about it. The jewels held (always important) but I didn't love the brush.

It washes off very easily. Yes, some of the other colors stained but not the Tulip silver, super awesome.

I buy whichever silver(usually from Metina 'cause she's awesome) and add my Mehron powder into it if I'm looking for true metallic silver. It works great!

The new FAB silver pretty good

Got any Pics of the FAB Silver to show us

Please and Thank you

Michelle has photos of it on page 2 of this thread. It's called Superstar where she is from, but it's FAB here in the states.

yep! awesome silver..

I have the tulip silver too, and it's really pretty

I agree...I have a kit with DFX silver in it and it is more like a shiny grey that is slightly blue compared to the FAB silver. The FAB silver does smell something awful though

I just bought a sample of the FAB silver, and if you can get past the smell, it is really nice! Best one I have tried so far.

I like paradise silver for coverage and the mehron powder with mixing liquid, which is the bomb (as is the gold) they are both staples in my kit. Almost like gold and silver leaf.

I know I am crazy, but I like the way Fab smells...

Martha, you LIKE the smell of Grandma's bra drawer

Martha, yep, I like it (i am a Martha too, btw...) I really do like it! go figure. It remindes me of that really old Este Lauder fragrance, what is the name of it? but it must have been your grandmas bra drawer, casue my grandma's smelled like liserine, and I got no warm fuzzies about that

I like that Jest paint! Pretty!

Jest paint rocks!!! I had snaz silver & it was too sheer, so I mixed the mehron metalic powder into it. I finally got the Jest paint silver for jewelry designs - nice & opaque, just as shown ; )

Does anyone have both TAG and DFX Silver? If you do, can you do a swipe on your arm for comparison and post here. I don't have any TAG Silver open to sample right now. Thanks!

So here's a comparison pic of what I have. No flash-room lighting-intentionally made it big.
Left to right: Snaz(really sheer), DFX (gray-blue undertones), TAG (more true silver), Superstar (rocking color, shine, and coverage)

I struggled with the Kryolan silver for a long time before I really got the hang of it, but once you do it works great. I've found that it needs a LOT of water mixed in immediately before you use it every time to combat the flaky-ness. I keep a little squirt bottle of water by my paints and give it a good squirt, so it's almost drowning in water. Swirl the water around in there and it'll quickly suck it up, and when you have it almost liquid-y it goes on great! I don't have any good silver examples I've done, but on my blog I have a photo of one of my customers who bought the silver from me and used it all over herself when performing as a "living statue." She just raved about it and came back for more: http://paintertainment.blogspot.com/search?q=living+statue

Wow, that FAB/Supestar silver is fantastic!! Thanks for the swatches, Martha.

I love the paradise silver that came in my 30 color sampler pallette! I also do like the silver that "Tulip" was selling at Michaels. Its pretty much the only tulip color I use. The others stained so badly they went right in the trash!!!

I used Snazaroo 5 years. Last year, sold in Czech Republic colors by Eulenspiegel (Diamond FX Mehron, Paradise, TAG and others can not get there, only the clutter from the U.S.).
So I bought the paint from Eulenspiegel. They have an amazing gold - much better than Snazaroo gold. But silver was better from Snazaroo.

But overall Eulenspiegel metallic colors much better covering of the skin and do not do such as spots and streaks like snazaroo (if I paint with sponges).
