[MsMollie]

Right now I have Diamond FX, some Wolfe(same thing) TAG is on it's way...can anyone tell me what their preference is of the best, most vibrant paint is? I'm just trying to do some comparisons.....

Also, can anyone tell me what's the best price they have seen for balloons? there are alot of websites out there...im check on tymers....thanks

For myself, what you already have is about the most viberate all the way around. I haven't tied them all, but that seems to be the concenses of what I have heard.

Paints!   In my opinion if your using Diamond FX  you've got the best, vibrant and bold, great coverage.  That's what I use, I do have Snazaroo, paradise, and wolfe.   Wolfe Black is so hard to get off I think.  I really love Paradise Black and White.  But I tend to grab all my Diamond first!  And balloons, as Sherry told you tmeyers

woohoo! my paint came in today....! I got the TAG paint i ordered..man, i thought it would take forever! but it only took a week and it came from Australia! I ordered grey, black, white, aqua, lavender, and flame cake and it was only $40.00!..that included shipping!...what a deal! at least i think it was...made some split cakes too....however, when i made mine, i only cut in about 1/2". That was removed and place with another one...that left 3/4 of the cake one color and the rest another...that way, i could have the one i use the most available and the other was just an accent..works pretty good.....


what is the sparkliest glitter you can get? there are so many out there....

So now that you have the Tag paints, how do you like then?  Can you post a picture that you used all tag paints in?  I am curious to see the brightness and if they are as bold as Diamond FX.  Did you or have you sponged with them yet? How is the coverage? And did you say you purchased white? Does it go over other colors well? Thanks for the review of the Tag paints

I do like the TAG paints...they seem to be alot harder than the diamond FX or wolfe brands...I'm not sure if that's good or bad...down here it's hot and humid and not sure how well they will hold up....I have one of the TAG rainbow cakes(it's the red, org, and yellow)for flames....the box was pretty near over flowing...paint was very soft...i almost had to put it in a cooler...however, it works well...to tell you the truth, i have cut and mad so many color variations that I'm not sure which is which....lol! ...i have mixed the TAG with the Diamond FX and vice versa!...I can't tell which is which except for the hardness...i do believe that the TAG will last longer though if they are harder....i used the tourquoise and it was gorgeous!
I will post some pics of the kids i painted this weekend and a pic of my setup...sort of cheesy, but it works!...At least till i can get something better..it's just foam core that is clamped onto wooden rulers...they are stuck in those little picture hangers that are used for hanging pictures...works really good...keeps the wind off, easily removable and can be transported....i can also move them where i want them.....

Interested in the tag paints as well cause I here it's the same as DFX and wolfe

[MsMollie]

i know they are alot cheaper! for sure

[reginanewsum]

approx what is the going prices for the tag paints?

[MsMollie]

i don't have my recpt in front of me, but if i remember correctly, i think i paid about 5-6.00 for each one and the shipping was free!...i got five different colors plus a small flame cake and it was only about $40.00. I didn't have to pay taxes on it either...sooo, i think that's a good deal....I got white, black, gray, tourquoise, and lavender...plus the other cake....pretty good deal....and it only took about a week to get here....!

I was just wondering how the Tag paints were doing  since you have had them for a few months. I currently have Ben Nye paints and cremes, and I am looking for something that doesn't dry so hard, matte, and crusty. They don't melt in the heat and they dry incredibly fast, but I need something different. I don't remember ever hearing about Tag, so where did you get them from?

Thanks for the help.

[MsMollie]

honestly, i haven't had much of a chance to use the TAG...however, when I have used them, I have been quite pleased...I would say they come pretty darn close to diamond fx....nothing to me is better than the wofe white and black...but i love the colors...the little split cake boxes come to you extremely full...those cakes aren't very hard either...sort of reminds me of the snazaroo paint...sort of mushy...but the colors are pretty in the split cakes..i only have the flame one and it's full all the way to the top....I ordered all of my paints from TAG..in Australia...i figured i wouldn't get them for a month or so..but i got them the next week.....anyway, i like them alot...i may buy more..the price is good and shipping is free, i think if you order over fifty dollars...they didn't charge me anyway....

Had lunch with a US retailer of TAG recently.  She swore up and down it is DIFFERENT than Diamond FX.  But, I know the Diamond people were unhappy with the factory in China for duplicating the formula so closely when they created TAG.

I am supposed to be getting some samples of TAG soon.  I will post a report! 

I am Diamond Girl, and use that a great deal. We shall see  )

Rumors are that Diamond is coming out with some neat new stuff, that will make their product even more different than Wolfe and TAG.

Can't wait to see.  Competition between the main brands is a good thing for all of us, it keeps them working on improving the products.

Just wanted to find out how the TAG faired??  I had access to Wolfe so I got some.  I absolutely love the white and black. The glitter/metallic are pretty good too...

But just wondering about the TAG....

I just got a huge shipment of TAG and love them. They are the same as DFX to me. I haven't really found a difference yet.
