SpaceBeams Aquaris Glow in the Dark Paint (20ml) Bright Aqua Glow (Light Blue/Turquoise), Non-Toxic, Water Based

Positives 1. Genuinely Glows. Like Really. The green/ blue colours will glow just from ambient light. I've had the pots inside a glass cabinet and they glow throughout the night. 2. Very quick to charge with lasting glow. A few seconds from a phone torch will make these glow in broad daylight! Especially the green colour. If you charge it for a few minutes you can use it as a torch it's that bright 3. Pink has a beautiful and vibrant pink colour, glows a beautiful orange Negatives 1. Paint might not be thick enough depending on surface. I used these on a gloss painted metal surface and using a brush wasn't doing it. I used a painting knife to paint instead and that worked as it didn't drag the paint around 2. The pink is a nice pink, but the green and blue do not have strong colour pigments in them. They look quite translucent in the light/ when not glowing. So if you want paint that's vibrant during the day and also glows during the night, you will have to paint the green/ blue over an already painted surface. 3. I tried combining these with acrylic colours I already had, thought I could make them glow. Does not work. I tried it with opaque acrylic colours. You might have better luck with transparent acrylic colours.

So I bought this paint purely for experimentation with my clay work. I wanted to make my pictures feel almost like they had little fireflies glowing in them at night. I make flowers out of paper clay (hearty). I combined the paint with the clay hoping there might be a little glow but the results were exceptional!!! The glow lasts through most of the night and is bright. In the 'glow' picture you can make out a rose glowing gently, this is bright pink in the day. I used a little of the white clay that I had mixed the glow in the dark paint with, thinking that it would have no glow once I combined the other pigments to make the clay pink, but to my sheer delight, it actually glows through the pink and blue pigments I used to make this cour of clay. A little goes a long long way. It's thick but this is perfect for what I use it for. The glow results were far beyond anything I had hoped for. Buy this, your money will not be wasted!!!

Although it is quite a small sized tub for the price, it has a beautiful glow! I put it in resin dice and it looks amazing!! I find it's a little patchy if painted on as it's a thick and grainy texture, but preforms well when swirled in other things. UV light for 20 seconds is enough to make it bright like the pic, but a couple of minutes in the sun does the same thing. Just wish they did other colours! PS I haven't even used 1/3 of the tub yet and I put (what I thought) was a lot in the dice, plus painted 3 pairs of earrings with it.

The paint is easy to use as it is, but can be thinned quite easily with water, the only problem I have found is that it seems to take ages to properly "charge" the paint (both when it is neat and when thinned) even with a UV torch but when it is charged it can be brighter than some may expect, all in all a decent paint for something that seems to be difficult to find.

Good quality paint, good brightness painting a spooky graveyard, grave stones and zombies you need to paint matt white on first so the glow part of the paint will glow, paint on thin coats at a time looks better doing it this way.

I wanted to use this for painting larger models, but it turned out to be a complete write-off. This is the first product I've given 1 star but I feel it deserves it, considering how much they dress it up in the description. Upon getting the paint I decided to check it under UV light and in the dark. It definitely has some glow, though probably about 70% of what you would expect from glow-paint and doesn't really have much of a cyan/turqouise hue at all (You're better off going for the normal greeny-white if you want a decent glow). No biggie, though, I figured I'd try it out anyway. So I crack open the pot and immediately I notice how jelly-like the consistency looks. It wobbles like a creme caramel and holds its shape as I dip the brush in. Not a good sign. I get it onto the wet pallette and mix in a bit of acrylic thinner and flow improver and begin to work it to an even consistency. I have a blacklight overhead so I can see easily where all the glow paint is on my pallette, but already I can see how large the glow particle size is. They're floating around in the solution, like sand in water, and there's no consistent colour even though it's mixed thoroughly. I can't tell if it's a magnetic charge thing, but the particles seem to want to stay in the reservoir of the brush, instead of being applied to the surface and, in general, the paint has a really greasy feel. This makes painting an absolute ordeal as one has little to no control over the brush and you have to really blob it on to get anywhere. Lots of thin layers almost works, but you'll get more of the acrylic medium on your surface than the glow particles. On drying I found myself left with a thick white crust, even in areas where the particles had not really adhered well. Honestly I had such high hopes for this paint but it fell short at every turn. This might be okay for painting on wallpaper but don't even bother trying anything precise with it.

Bought this to use in model making, it glows very brightly and charges quickly, especially if you use a UV light. The glow decreases in brightness quite quickly unless you can build up a thick layer of paint however - the instructions suggest 2mm thick! The paint is easy to use and covers reasonably well, however as stated it does need a few layers to work well and building up these layers always seems to result in quite a rough, uneven surface - something you might need to consider if a flat, even finish is important for your use.

After reading reviews I wasn't expecting much, but honestly this is extremely vivid in brightness of glow, two coats not thinned down. Colour me impressed. This was on a fabric hoodie, it hasn't been washed yet so no idea how it'll hold, but I would definitely buy again. It's expensive, but worth it. This is the glow after counting to ten holding it under a standard kitchen light fixture. I do store my paints upside down and warm the containers slightly with a hairdryer first to make sure they are room temp before use.
