Thank you for this comparison, we needed to see this. I agree with everything you said: paint gems has such trashy drills for such an expensive kit. I’m saving them in an EW container and it’s filling up 😡 Every edition I’ve done is filled with trash. The individual drill bags at DAC are bad for the environment and a source of pollution and a turn off. The green and other color mats at DAC are almost a deal breaker, ugh. Such nauseous colors and so off center. So thank you, I think I’ll finish up the few editions of PGM in my stash and call it good. 👍

Thanks, Daphne. I find it disappointing that these are so unavailable. Sell outs do occur with PaintGem, too, so I guess that's just the nature of new arrivals. 💜😐💜

Thank You for the review, Daphne. I haven’t worked any Paint gems. I think they were pricy. I don’t have a big budget for paintings. I’m saving for Black Friday. They’d be really cute for my grands who like to DP though. Have a great day.

Thanks for your review. I actually did a similar one a few weeks ago but my channel is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than yours 😁 I could not agree with you more though. I did not like the separate packages of drills. I had 95 bags to open for 23 colors. Too much. It’s stopped me from buying any more (so far) even though I’d like to have their fairy dust for spares, and instead got me to buy more Paint Gems. I feel like you get more for your money, especially if it’s the 16 packs, or a sale like you said. Always enjoy listening to you. Have learned a lot from you. Thanks so much

I have done both. I feel the DAC ones are better quality. Maybe a bit much on the special drills, not paintgems doesn't have any. They are great to save for other projects. The kitting up for DAC was horrible. Some colors have 4 to 6 bags of one color. I use them as a break from a painting that I am over 100 hours on. So when I finish a section, I get to do a small picture. As far as offerings, yes Paintgem has more, but they have been doing this for a few years now, and DAC a few weeks. Also, you didn't mention the coveted new tool kit. I LOVE the small trays, as their newer large ones are too large for me, the pen, well, it's a love/hate relationship at the moment. I am looking forward to doing another mystery kit with Paintgem. Here is only four pictures in it. They have come out with some newer ones that take up most of the space on the canvas, so they will take longer to do.

I agree with having the diamonds packaged together rather than separately. I don't kit up my drills. I leave them in the plastic, but I would still prefer them to be all together for a smaller kit like this.

Sounds like DAC is branching out? Seem to be trying to branch out from just huge DP's or taking away from smaller businesses? Special new trays with lids, special refillable and thicker pens, and now mini gems of various things (not licensed). I kinda wish they would pick up on some other things like PD and AI.
