 Yeah, so they are still super squishy and satisfying. Hello. Guess who didn't record sound for this bit? I'll give you a clue. It's this Dumbo here. Hello, I'm going to just peek over the voice right now. Um, good job me. I am doing a jelly quash review for you today as you can tell by the title. I have way too many jelly paint sets. I have a few different ones and I'm going to go through them now with you one by one and the sound will have been recorded after this. But yes, you can look at you, look at me right now because I was like I want to talk to you face to face. Didn't have any sound. Brilliant job. Good job. Look at her. Who did she think she is? She thinks she can be a YouTuber. She's stupid. Okay, let's get into the jelly wash. What I wanted to do today is just talk about the jelly paints that I have. So I have a lot, as you can see here. Um, I have the Artex ones that I got sent. I have my original HIMI one that blew up ages ago. I have my newest set, which is this uh, Chocolatey Marie one. And then I have this massive set and then I have another massive set, which is the, um, acrylic. Do you like how I did that acrylic version? And I thought I would just go through them, talk about when I bought them and how they're holding up basically. Um, and which ones I like the best because I'm pretty sure that everyone likes jelly paint and I thought it would be a nice tool video to do with you guys. So let's see and get into it. Which one is the best? Also, as you can tell, I don't exactly have a fancy setup. I am just a little baby YouTuber, but it's nice to talk to you face to face a little bit. This is how the original set is looking. This is the first one I ever got and I fell in love with the design of it. Uh, you guys have all seen it before and I haven't opened this one in a while. It's looking a little crusty, but uh, we can proceed. So I have my things that I need, my paper, my brushes, and I've repurposed this little, um, dropper jar from a skincare brand and I'm just going to use it to like drop water into these dried out jellies, which are crusty now, but probably still usable. So I got these about three, two, three years ago and I absolutely loved them when I first got them and everyone liked them. I think this was like a big point for everyone when we first discovered the jelly gouache as a community here on YouTube and it did really well that video. Like that's my best video ever. So after that jelly gouache was kind of my thing, uh, jelly paints in general, I really enjoyed them. And uh, yeah, so I just thought I'd revisit them because I've done a lot of jelly videos and you guys probably know that. So this is all dried out basically. It's three years old. It's done its time in Azkaban and you know, it's like still okay. I can use it kind of more like a watercolor at this point than an actual gouache set. But I guess let's see if it can be opaque still, which is the important thing about gouache is that it can be as opaque as you want it to be. So you can use it like watercolor, but you can also use it as an acrylic in the sense that you can go with your mistakes and yeah, you can work from light to dark, dark to light, whereas with watercolor you have to work light to dark. Otherwise you can't go back in over dark with watercolor, but with gouache you can. So these are kind of all right. They're doing okay. They're very old. They're like a very old lady in her prime years. Uh, she's doing good. She's okay. Like obviously it wouldn't be the main set that I ran to now that I have other sets, but the fact that it's here, I could still use it. It's still usable. It's still doing pretty good if you can see here. I'm just doing little swatches to test how well they're holding up and yeah, crusty, but good. That's the rating. I'm going to give it crusty, but good. Let's move on to the next set. So after that, I got pretty into jelly gouaches and I got this massive set which is the Adore gouache color and I will link all the links down below. They might be Amazon affiliate links, which means that I get a little bit of money if you guys click on that and then buy anything from that link. This is the Adore gouache that I wanted to try out, because I wanted to try out different brands of jelly gouache. I say jelly gouache because they come in this cup design that sort of looks like a jelly cup. These ones we've looked at recently and yes, in the previous video, they were moldy and yes, in this video, they're still a bit moldy. So that's just absolutely brilliant, isn't it? I think we don't really need to try these out as I have tried them out in the past and I think once they get rid of the mold, I can reuse them and they're still kind of squishy jelly-like, which is good. These are probably nearly as old as the set we just tried and now there's a plane going by for some reason. But yeah, I think these are okay. I will link the video where I used them recently so we don't really need to review them again but they're doing good. A quick review on them for those who have not seen that video. If you ignore the mold that has been growing because the lid doesn't really fit correctly, they're still good. You can scrape off the mold. You could be that person like me. The ones in the outer areas have dried out quite considerably compared to the ones here. They're still jelly-fied. Most of them, sorry about that, that's probably going to trigger some people, but there's mold on them so it doesn't really matter. I think, obviously, my review is going to have to mention the fact that they came cracked. This area is all cracked so there is air coming into the box which is causing the mold and the dryness but if you think about it, if that wasn't part of it, the jelly paints are still all kind of jelly so they're not as dried out as the HMI ones and considering they're about the same age then I would say that that's pretty good. Just that they came with a crack lid is the only reason that I am voting these a moldy but sturdy review. Also, I'm not really going to talk about price just a heads up because the pricing on these jelly paints kind of depends on where you are in the world. Some places are going to be more expensive because of shipping but I suppose if you lived in an area where they're produced like China it would be very cheap for you but if you live in a place like Gibraltar like me then they're not that cheap sometimes Next up is the Artex ones. They are a company that uses I think the same manufacturer as the HMI ones they're more accessible to people in the US and people like me they sent me these two versions of the jelly paints they're both exactly the same so I'm just going to look at one of them let's go with the yellow boom boom boom and yeah they're exactly the same kind of style with the palette lid and the only difference is that the paints are kind of a different color and I'm going to just activate them a little bit to the HMI MI ones let's just compare them quickly for you guys. Obviously bear in mind that the HMI ones are a lot older but you can see that they're like quite different colors there's some similar colors but these ones are more pastel-y colors I would say than these ones and it's interesting because it's like if you did want to get both sets it's kind of cool because you would have variants of colors which isn't necessarily important because you can always mix the colors that you want yourself but if you're in favor of more pastel palette this one is probably more for you I would say and yeah I got sent these Artex ones but these are completely my review on them they're really squishy still and I've had them for about a year I would say so maybe longer actually but yeah they're really nice they're the same all these paints are pretty much the same like consistency a nice little like juicy quashy kind of thing oh I would say that something I didn't mention before is that the HMI MI ones they do come with like a set of brushes that I didn't rate very highly when I first got them because I was like oh they're very stiff but actually they work very nicely for quash and I think they are super nice and uh yeah probably a nice added bonus if you want to go with the HMI MI ones and I think I think Artex might do ones that come with brushes now and you might be able to like pick your own brushes and stuff if that's the case but yeah so they're pretty solid they're exactly the same this one to this one so you can choose a color that you like oops one little jelly got away uh yeah and they're doing well they're still pretty good they do get a little bit dried around the edges I noticed that on some of the paints that are more on the edge tend to dry out a little bit quicker than the ones in the middle which is weird because you think I don't know that I guess the middle ones are way more airtight but yeah they come with this like nice set the same as the other ones that we mentioned the HMI MI ones so pretty solid review for these these are really handy I prefer these sets to tubes of quash as well because for me as an artist I tend to just dip into things as you probably just noticed and I just go for stuff so it's easy for me to just have them there I like I tend to do um to mix my own colors on the side so what I do is I have them there and I'll scoop them out and quickly mix them and it will be it's it's a nice thing to have so I rate those pretty solidly they're really nice so if you want to check them out they're down below then I've got this massive set oh this one is massive this is a acrylic wash set oh and it is huge humongous and it is yeah it's the Mia ones which I think Mia and HMI MI are like the same brand but they are these massive jelly cup designs they are big humongous ones but they are acrylics and I don't really like acrylics as much as I like quash so I'm really glad that I have this giant array of paint here but I can't really want to use but you can see they're still really really really wet juicy I don't know what the term should be um and still usable so let's just take a couple out and use them just to show you guys yeah so they are still super squishy and satisfying and these are probably be up two years old as well now um so that's really good if you like acrylic definitely worth it I would say I'm just going to put it on my lap for now as we test these out I'm going to get a new brush and yeah let's try them out so they're still really super like squishy you can dip into them quite easily they go down very well they are acrylic so they're going to dry like a plastic so you can make lots of big textures and do things like that that will work because they are acrylics and they dry like that you know after some time obviously a good thing about acrylic is that it does dry very quickly bad thing is that you can't really blend them as well as gouache I feel you can't really use them like watercolor in the sense of um gouache I think they feel a little bit different but if you like acrylic then this set is for you it's really really good um I mean there's loads of different colors it's massive it's still completely juicy after two years and I'm going to write that a solid acrylic out of acrylic for you guys yay anyway they all come with like this foam lid and claspy things and if the lid is not broken then they are pretty they retain um the juiciness pretty well if the lid is broken like I showed you on the other set then bad stuff happens small happens drying out happens they will dry out anyway a little bit there's I think that's the nature of things they tend to dry out I guess if you had tubes they don't really dry out as much but then again I've had tubes of acrylic where I've left them or tubes of gouache or I've left them for years and they've dried out so you know it might happen I think there's less likely to happen with the tubes but you know you never know the last set I have is this Marie's one and depending on your area they uh probably the shipping is going to be quite expensive for me it was quite expensive but I wanted to try them out I've had a couple from here in the past from this company I had a similar set and I think I've used it mostly up I really like them they have this design at the bottom where they have like holes they have like holes at the bottom so you can see the colors and then you can push them out that way if you can't see it it's not really a big wow it doesn't have that foam lid but it has like a sort of chocolate looking rubber lid that is very flexible and does seal it quite well these ones are a little bit different in the sense that they're not I would say they're not as juicy or as wet if I can say that as like the the HMI ones or the Artex ones but they're pretty nice they're still really good and I still really like them they go down really well and uh yeah they're really nice and I would give these a solid good job um jelly gouache so I guess my review has been pretty much the same for each of these and it entirely depends on what you want to do so I would say if you can get these ones for cheap as in delivered to you cheaply I think this would be probably worth your money because they are a bigger set with more colors but it always depends on like if you prefer mixing your own colors or how much paint you want to have I would say that the Artex one I think come with two whites which is just an added bonus I think I would prefer that to more like another color because I think I use white a lot you know when you go over stuff or mixing other colors this is my most recent set so they're still juicy and they're not dried out at all um if I look at the previous one I had they do dry out a little bit the same as the other sets so that's the only problem with these jelly washes that they do dry out a little bit but it depends how quickly you want to use them I think people who buy them they tend to use like a lot of paint for a quick amount of paint like quickly and make big paintings all the time so it's worth it if you do that kind of thing if you use a lot of paint it's totally worth it and you probably you probably use it up before it dries out now if you tend to do a painting every now and again probably tubes are more your thing if you do a painting every few months then yeah definitely get tubes because there'll be more in your interest to preserve them and yeah that's pretty much my reviews on those so it was interesting for me to just do a quick video like this and I hope that you guys enjoyed it and I hope that you like to see me because I've enjoyed hanging out with you guys on stream and stuff um I've been streaming a lot recently just because it felt easier not so much editing and things like that so if you fancy catching a stream I will be streaming over on twitch because I've got made affiliate so you can get um on that uh down below it'll be making emotes and stuff like that soon which is pretty exciting and I think it's more chilled out and I hope that you guys enjoyed this video and it was pretty informative for you I obviously probably didn't say much stuff that you guys didn't know already uh but yeah I think it might help you make a decision if you want to pick a jelly gouache set for yourself anyway thanks for watching guys please give this video a thumbs up and uh subscribe if you're not subscribed um lots of people have been unsubscribing recently and it it's pretty sucky so if you subscribe maybe that'll help me out thanks a lot guys and I hope to see you next time bye
