detailed review on the whole package
very great price at $31.00 plus prime shipping you cant beat it. I alter MTG cards for side cash and these are enough to do hundreds of cards. I cant see myself needing to buy more this year since I only use these on small projects. I did buy another though since I noticed amazon selling one that has a damaged box but the tubes are still intact for under $27 and these are a steal. about the storage box. a very sturdy box. the top cover completely covers all four sides so you have to pull the top completely off like a velveta cheese box. which is fine but I was surprised and though these would be in a cheap cardboard or plastic flimsy box but this box is very sturdy and with regular use will prob last longer than the paints. the paints are stacked on 4 plastic dividers with 12 tubes on each row. the holes in the top of the box are really there with just a very thin layer of clear plastic so you can really see the paint through the box. if you remove the plastic or for some reason it came off it wouldn't affect the box look or use at all since the holes are so small that even if you didn't have the dividers and just threw your paint in the box and shook the box the paint tubes would not fall out. about the paint its good paint if you ever used liquitex brand you know they have a good quality and vibrate colors. each tube has just about the same amount (if not a little less) of paint as a average tube of toothpaste. so use this info to decide if these is enough paint for you. would I recommend yes! for the price that I paid for 2 boxes was less than 1 box at regular price. plus prime shipping. plus this is a great brand. all around great amazon prime find! if you can get these for $40 or under with prime shipping at least you would be saving so much!

Acrylic Awesomeness in a Box!
I bought this set for myself way back in 2020, and let me tell you—these paints have been the ride-or-die of my creative life ever since. The color range? Chef’s kiss. From bold primaries to moody neutrals, every shade mixes like a dream and goes on smooth. The texture is buttery but not too thick, and it layers beautifully without turning into a crunchy mess. Also for a student paint the coverage is pretty good too! Whether I’m painting something majestic or just aggressively covering a canvas in “emotional red,” Liquitex never lets me down. Now, does it come with a storage case? Not exactly. It comes in a sturdy box that’s good for a while—but if you’re like me and treat your art supplies like treasure, you might eventually upgrade to a fancy case (or just pretend the box is a briefcase full of magical rainbow potions, no judgment). Bottom line: worth every penny. Great for beginners and pros. Just maybe hide it from friends who like to “borrow” art supplies and never return them. 😏🎨

Great paint, missing 1 color though
I love the color and consistency. They are fantastic paints. My only complaint is I received 2 tubes of yellow oxide and did not get Naples yellow hue at all. No idea how to resolve this as the only option on Amazon is to return the whole set, which I have been using for a while before realizing the mistake.
