Ok, very good review and I love the fact you tested on your finger nails before the models!!! AP said the Fairy Dust is to add any war paint colours to create your own metallic shades you want for projects. Now I do like how you experimented with putting it right over other colors, that was a nice effect.
I use the army painter metallics myself they work amazing. Can thin them down to a translucent glaze pretty easy as well. Made painting my deathguard with its beat up armor super easy
I am a huge fan of Army Painter paints and products. I used the contact card when I received my first tool set from them as i was missing a tool and they shipped the next day! Great customer service and products!!
13:31 "Ya Know" was probably the only time I've heard Naomi actually sound Canadian 😂. Don't lose that beautiful accent 😭. I love these colors. Can't wait to try them out. I'm particularly interested in the red for Sergeant helmets and boltguns for marines so far. Naomi always gets me humming or singing something in all of her videos.
They look like some very nice metallic paints The red is perfect for metallic Blood Angels or Worl Eaters. I need the purple for my DIY Marine Chapter. And some of the others for my Silent King project and the ctan. The salmon pink would look great on deepkin armor
I really enjoy watching your vids for the no nonsense aproach to testing paints out. Thankyou. But if you never use the metalics for mini's then you have a fantastic set of nail varnish. Wonderful once again my dear thankyou.
The red seems like it would be pretty good for heresy era thousand sons. The turquoise could work for alpha legion. It would definitely save having to base them silver/gold and then airbrush over with tamiya clear red or GW contrast paints. With those methods it's pretty hard to get a good result without using an airbrush, but with this stuff you could just brush it on pretty easily.
Look very good to me, over all the gold and the pearl/silver; those would be the ones that i'll use the most, and the fact that they're water soluble would enlarge the life of my brushes.
The fairy dust and the coloured metallics looked like nice cockpit armour glass highlight and colour respectively regardless of gaming universe. On top of all the other potential uses :)
Wow they really look great. Rainbow Necrons on the horizon for sure... glad I haven't sprayed all mine with platemail silver yet! Only problem is no more space in my giant army painter box set. :D Also... love your multicolored nails!
I'm buying the Necron Christmas bundle and I wasn't sure what paints or colors I wanted to use for them...until now! These metallic colors look really cool! Thank you so much for this!
Though the regular application was brighter, I think the drybrush was definitely the nicer look. It went on smoother, and as one would expect, it had better defined details, especially with the second coat.
These paints look really interesting, thank you for putting together the video! This really helps, I am thinking they might fit really well for Aeldari.
Great review. Have been curious about these and will now have to pick them up. Loved your suggestions on using them , ideas I never thought of. Also , I now want to see Miniac and Squidmar paint their nails 😜
Yeah, army painter products are a solid stable in my toolbox for that reason. The washes are nice, as is their white color - even if like all of them they are gel-like - its much better then the often clumpy, flaky white colors of a certain company in the uk :P. Whenever someone doesn`t know if painting minis is a fitting hobby i recomend to buy the cheapest army painter d&d painting set. A okaish brush, a miniature, a couple of paints including a damn nice brush on primer, and ready to use video tutorials - for only 20 bucks. Best case scenario - someone new disovers the joys mini painting. Worst case scanario - someone discovers that mini painting just aint fun for them ... but wasted only 20 bucks. I have only one problem though ... their brushes. Okay quality for the price - but quite a few of them that i own had the coating of the wooden handle crack after a while and falls of. Maybe i have bad luck, but it seems they are a bit sensitive regarding water, to much time under water and not being dryed after cleaning :P
@@MERLK2 absolutely agree with you. My main paints are GW but after as much as I’ve put into them and really doing the rounds on other paints I feel like army painter paint wise is a great happy medium for paint. Maybe if I feel like I’m going to that next level I’ll look into scale 75 but until that day I’ll stick with this
love the nails! I've always preferred my metallics drybrushed over black. I think it looks more realistic IMHO. Even if it needs a second coat, it's still faster to paint as well lol
I agree! I only didn't use them over a gloss black because The Army Painter doesn't have a gloss black so I specifically chose to paint over matt as that is perhaps what it was originally designed to go over. But that won't stop me now that I've given them a go! ^_^
The red might work for my Iron-Man. Still feel like it's a little bit off in hue. The best I've seen so far seems to be from Turbo Dork, but they can't be found in Sweden.
Hi! sort of off topic question, but what filming equipment do you use when filming your painting? just your phone or a camera, and do you have a special lens or... thanks!
@@SonsOfLorgar I was in high school or college and I remember my mom got me the entire line of paint. Don’t know what happened to them. Only recently got back into the hobby and man alive I was horrible at painting 20 years ago...I would say I am ok now.
@@joshbecka6110 I was in 8th grade and had to buy any hobby stuff myself as my devoutly religious mom saw warhammer figures as "war toys" (Never mind she married and had me and my two older sibblings with a coastal artillery officer, who graduated top of his class and got gifted a ceremonial sabre by the previous king to show for it... they are still married after almost 50 years)
Wwhat is the part number for the set? I cannot find it anywhere. I have the # for a metallics set 8043 but its not the same. Can you give me the part # for the one you have in this video.
Games Workshop came out with paints similar to this in the early 90s. They were not on the market for very long. I hope that these stick around longer than the GW paints did.
They have since improved these in the Fanatic and Air range, and I'd suggest those variants :) Unless you'd like to drybrush with these, in which case, these would be preferable to the Air
Was this a special limited set? I have not been able to find it for sale or preorder anywhere online, ( other than listings on eBay from UK sellers). The Army Painter's own website doesn't even have this set listed. The only metallic paint set they have listed is an older one that does not include any of the colors in this set. I'd rather not have to pay the increased cost due to higher overseas shipping costs.
I do use a wet palette, an Army Painter one actually! :) I specifically chose not to for this first impression though to see their consistency out of the bottle and when applied. For these, I would thin them with airbrush thinner rather than water, other than when dealing with small details, as I wouldn't want their chemical makeup to be diluted, which might dull them 🤔 I thin down or don't thin down depending on what I'm painting/planning :)
@@swordnsteele712 I understand. I just got back into painting minis a few months ago after many years away from it. I invested in the BIG Army Painter set of 124 paints, the palette, 2 packs of the mixing balls, the big set of 10 brushes, and a few other items. I love them. Now apparently they have these paints. I'm going to have to get them at some point I suppose. Have a wonderful everything, til we speak again!!!!
The blackest speed paint of the various brands at the moment is Black Legion Contrast paint from Citadel You could even combine your Black Lotus with Black Legion if you would like something in between :)
Ok, using nail polish to paint models is pretty common in automotive and airliner modelling, but using hobby paints as nail polish...now that's a turn.
WtF? Citadel had a few colored metallics back in the 90ies. I was kind of sad, when this old color ranged was sorted out. (and was pretty happy, when I found out, that Scale75 had a few colors of this kind in their ranges. Much more surprised, when it was said, that the Coat D'arms colors are the old prae-98-Colors, GW sold.) It feels kinda weird for me at the moment, that this old concept of colored metallics is returning today.
As a bloke who likes epic battles in the grim darkness of the far future, I have to say it's not often that I watch videos of girls painting their nails and actually enjoy them 🤣
Normally i would now insert a little joke about fulgrim here, friendly smack talking nerd obligations n stuff ... but not today. Not on this channel. :P Btw fingernails - ARE - nifty if someone has to check if the amount of paint on the drybrush is ready to use - just saying. As are makeup brush sets for drybrushing ... just saying - those things are cheap as chips compared to drybrushes
The color choices for these metallics seems very close to some of the Metal N'Alchemy colors from Scale75. It would be great to sea a comparison! (hint, hint) :-)
I suggest that you'd get better coverage with a much smaller true wedge brush, round brushes are not great when it comes to metallics. Do a drybrush with a wedge brush and you'll get better coverage.
@@Vokdor1 Something like these would be much better for drybrushing figures rather than the way too big AP brush; www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ARTISTS-PAINT-BRUSH-SET-FINE-HOBBIES-CRAFTS-MODEL-MAKING-BRUSHES-PACK-OF-12/164306511359?hash=item26416e65ff:g:RJsAAOSwzRZfHGPR
@@Vokdor1 I do know that you'll get better coverage on a model that size with a smaller brush rather than that monster. One of the red metallics didn't cover well at all, and that was down to the brush; the head is too big. Smaller wedge brushes would have covered the figure much better.
Naomi as always doing her tried and true testing of metallic paint's on her fingernails!
Thank you for the product review/demonstration!

Enjoyed the random Christmas humming. Also definitely going to pick these up, they look incredible.

The chrome and gold ones are looking terrific. Thanks for showing them!
You always do videos on the new stuff I want. I asked my local shop and they new nothing about it. I wish I was closer to your shop.
I could listen to her narrate the Tim Horton's menu and be happy. These look awesome! Army Painter once again doing it in style.
I've never been more fascinated by someone painting their nails.
Every time something from Army Painter catches my eye you always have a review out for in a day to two later. Thank you again for a great review.
I am a huge fan of Army Painter paints and products. I used the contact card when I received my first tool set from them as i was missing a tool and they shipped the next day! Great customer service and products!!
Thanks for a thorough and entertaining review Naomi! And extra credits for your nails, IMHO they look pretty awesome!
This gave me crazy ASMR. Good showcase of the metallics.
Love the painted nails. Fun way to show paint range. Lockdown entertainment at its best.

I like the picture in picture upgrade, makes your video seem much more personal.. Love the content, hope to see more from you. Thanks!
Naomi, are you actively trying to kill off your followers by overwhelming cuteness?
Because you are getting better at it with each video XD
I like the red, bothblues and the black. Might pick up the set , it never hurts to have some extra paints around.

Oh, I *like* that purple! Perfect for my skelly bois.
Thanks for posting. I was on the fence about this but now I've pre-ordered it.
Never watched a lady paint her nails so closely! Great looking paint, some of which could be useful for us historical painters
Though the regular application was brighter, I think the drybrush was definitely the nicer look. It went on smoother, and as one would expect, it had better defined details, especially with the second coat.
Army Painter paints are ace and these look really, really good. Well done for a superb review video, I'll definitely be purchasing these 👍👌🖌️
I've been dropping two bbs into the vile little bottles. Works great.
As long as the bbs are heavy enough, and won't contaminate or react with the pigment or medium of the paint, that should work great
You should maybeee be a bit carefull with those. Some can rust or react with the paint. Glass or ceramic pearls would be better probably
When I got the email about these they piqued my interest. Thanks for doing a review and letting us see them in use.
These are perfect for the painting the armour with the glow from the gun
i hope you do a paint along with those colors.
Never seen anyone test the paints on their nails before. Lovely job
These paints look really interesting, thank you for putting together the video! This really helps, I am thinking they might fit really well for Aeldari.
INTERESTING! You painted your nails with the paint hmmm maybe I’ll even do that to get a good solid look at some paints I haven’t tried yet hahahab
Great review. Have been curious about these and will now have to pick them up. Loved your suggestions on using them , ideas I never thought of. Also , I now want to see Miniac and Squidmar paint their nails 😜
For the missing card, maybe you should contact them and tell them the set was missing the Golden Brush.
Lol 😁
Army Painter has the best names XD Tainted Gold, evil chrome, oozin purple ^^
great examples, might do void dragon in a metalic red now
I need these paints in my life.
I really like the red gem stone ! Looks great
"Evil Chrome" makes me think more of just a bronze, or perhaps "Dwemer Metal" from the Elder Scrolls.
You mentioned Dwemer...I see you are a man of culture
@@johnodinsson3635 Have you heard of the High Elves?
@@sunttu333 I have
Sorry, I burst out laughing at 7:00! So cool to test them on yourself first!! :D
You should never subject anyone else to something you aren't ready to do yourself XD
Thank you for the review! I can't wait to try these!
Pretty sure I’m going to start picking up some army painter paints. The cost and the amount you get of good quality paint is just to good to pass up

wot great nail varnish....thanks for trying it on figures
Great review, I think you need to try the Fairy Dust over nonmetallic colours though. Definitely a set I would like to try myself.
Will you do a Vallejo metallic space marines/tyranids vs Army Painter metallic necrons battle report?
love the nails!
I've always preferred my metallics drybrushed over black. I think it looks more realistic IMHO. Even if it needs a second coat, it's still faster to paint as well lol
4:43 "There are sixteen..."
* one immediately rolls away
Are you able to review the Scale 75 metallic line up? My local game store just got them and they got me curious. Thanks
May I recommend a gloss black primer with metal paint, it will go on smooth and shiny.
I agree! I only didn't use them over a gloss black because The Army Painter doesn't have a gloss black so I specifically chose to paint over matt as that is perhaps what it was originally designed to go over. But that won't stop me now that I've given them a go! ^_^
The base coat for the silver chrome we all know is a bronze colour close to evil chrome. Be interesting to see these wet blended on some Alpha Legion.
That Fairy Dust chrome effect just sold a set for me. You should add affiliate links.
What's the point of a golden brush or is it just a collector thing?
Probably a marketing/collector thing. Shiny speciall little brush - like the toys in cereal boxes ... but more practical ;)
@@MERLK2 except I'd probably get a little display for it and never ever use it.
these are hard to find in canada, and I wish the fairy dust was available in singles :(
Great video. Your accent is completely unique to me. Like US, French and southern English all rolled up.
So would a thin layer of the pink make your golds pop?
not going to lie using your finger nails to test the color is an amazing idea.
The red might work for my Iron-Man. Still feel like it's a little bit off in hue. The best I've seen so far seems to be from Turbo Dork, but they can't be found in Sweden.
Yay, new paints. Make sure you don't use any descriptive words that resemble other products you don't want another "color change " incident😉🤪
I dont think they would be stupid enough to try that again.
Hi! sort of off topic question, but what filming equipment do you use when filming your painting? just your phone or a camera, and do you have a special lens or...
