As a resin artist, I've tried countless dyes, but this 30-color set stands out. The colors are incredibly vibrant while maintaining that beautiful transparency resin artists crave. I used the teal and gold for a ocean-themed jewelry set, and the light transmission was stunning—like tiny pieces of stained glass!

The squeeze bottles are a dream to work with. Unlike messy powders, these let me add precise drops without guesswork. For my dice-making projects, this control is crucial. A little really does go a long way—I made an entire set of translucent purple dice with just 3 drops!

However, I did notice two quirks: Some resins (especially fast-cure brands) can cause slight beading if not mixed thoroughly. And while the color selection is impressive, storage is awkward—these roll around like marbles in my craft drawer. Pro tip: I repurposed a nail polish rack to display them vertically.

The extended curing time mentioned in some reviews? Noticeable but manageable. My geode coasters took about 2 hours longer to set when using deeper colors. But the final result—rich, jewel-toned transparency—was worth the wait.

For beginners: Start with just 1-2 drops per ounce of resin. These pigments are potent! My first attempt at red turned my mixing cup into something resembling a crime scene until I learned proper dilution.

At this price point (around $17), you're getting remarkable value compared to individual alcohol inks. While not perfect (I wish they included duplicate basics like black/white), this set has become my go-to for everything from jewelry to river tables.
