I am in HEAVEN!!! DFX Metallics

I ordered my paints last Thursday or Friday. I got the DFX Metallix pallet so I could try out all the metallix.

I. AM. IN. LOVE!!!!!

All I can say is wow! The coverage is incredible! They go on so easily! While I think I'll stick with my wofe gold and paradise silver, the rest of them are phenomenal, especially that violet. I have been looking and looking for a purple I like with no luck, until now.

The green is amazing too, plus it comes off easier than the paradise metallic green, so now I don't have to feel guilty when I use it. I love the blue too, and the red. I am so happy with these. I still have two cakes of wolfe metallic blue, but I'll be getting DFX when that runs out.

Again... couldn't be happier.

I changed my mind about the silver. I will have to have both paradise and DFX silver in my case. The difference between the two is very noticeable. The DFX is brighter and shinier, and they blend together so well; perfect for a two toned metal look.

The gold... there isn't a significant difference between DFX and Wolfe

Muah, hah, hah, hah! We've turned another one!

Acutally, I've only ever tried DFX and Snaz, so I'm not one to persuade anyone, but I'm happy you like em.

I still love the paradise paints I do have, except for that horrible yellow, but I am definitely loving these colors. I can't wait for my order to get here!

Yes, the DFX metal colours are addicting! Including the new metal ones, like old gold, baby blue and bronze (I also really like the copper, but I have not found a use for it yet).

I KNOW I keep having to get the huge stacking DFX metallic cakes they are my fave for bodies and i run theough them! Just received the new metallic white (nice) and bronze (that green-gold) and OMG LOVE the bronze. Lush. Still need to try the metallic black, what on, hmm....

Thanks to this thread and another one floating around I just spend an arm and a leg at Metina's shop. Can't wait to get my box

DFX Metallics are addicting and I loveeeeeeeeee them and can't get enough of them........ Just like Lays chips you can't have just one. I even took my love for them one step further and created my own spectrum metallic rainbow cake since there isn't one out there......it's awesomeeeeeeeeeee

Oh my gosh you are so right, it is very addicting I want them all!!!
I am waiting until next month maybe? to get the neons too

Yeah, I saw that but the only problem I have is that the colors really aren't in order, it bugs me. I am weird like that

LOL! I'm a rainbow traditionalist too! You can cut the cake & put it in the proper order.
I love my metallics! My tigers are always metallic!

I have sent this message to TAG and will let you know if I get a response:

Hiya,

I was wondering why the rainbow cakes, neon, regular and metallix are in a different order than is considered "traditional" in America? I looked up to see if the Aussie rainbow was in a different order to no avail.

Traditionally ours are red, yellow, green, blue, purple. I have just had some comment that they order bugs them and they don't want to buy them.

For the traditional I tell them that it is actually two rainbows in one if they don't use red then it is a tropical, if they don't use pink it is a traditional(sort of). But with the neon and pearl, I don't really have an answer.

Just curious.

My metallic rainbow beside a traditional rainbow......thinking now I should have painted a neon rainbow so you could really see the difference between them side by side



metallic

regular

I just checked out some pics of real rainbows, and was surprised by how different they can look depending on the lighting. Sometimes the red/pink/purple do seem out of order or just not there at all. Here's one that looks pretty close to the metallic rainbow cake.
