When I first unboxed this set of 30 epoxy resin pigments, I was blown away by the vibrant colors staring back at me. The bottles were securely sealed - no leaks whatsoever - and those little included caps? Absolute lifesavers for mess-free opening!

As someone who creates resin jewelry, I particularly appreciate how these dyes maintain their translucency. Unlike mica powders that can interfere with UV curing, these liquid colors play nicely with all my resin types. Just 2-3 drops creates stunning effects without overpowering the piece.

The color intensity surprised me most. My first attempt at a geode design used just drops of the sapphire blue mixed with emerald green, and the results looked professionally done. The colors blend beautifully too - I've already created dozens of custom shades from the original 30.

Pro tip: Shake those bottles like a polaroid picture! The pigments do settle, but once mixed, they disperse evenly through the resin. And if you want more movement in your designs? Add a drop of clear alcohol to make the colors dance across your piece.

My only wish? That white pigment acted more like a sinker for petri art effects. It tends to just sit there rather than creating those beautiful cell formations. But honestly, at this price point for 300ml total pigment, I can't complain too much.

After three months of near-daily use (I may have a resin addiction), these pigments remain as vibrant as day one. Whether you're making jewelry, coasters, or decorative pieces, this set offers incredible value and quality that both beginners and pros will appreciate.
