Shifters Review! Vallejo Colour Shifting Paints on Curved Objects! Can You Use a Paintbrush, too?

Naomi returns with Vallejo's color shifting airbrush paints, called The Shifters, coming in sets called Galaxy Dust, Magic Dust, and Space Dustbut this time answering the questions:
What do they look like on curved objects? What do they look like when painted on with a paintbrush? What do they look like over a white or cream primer? Can they be airbrushed one over the other?

I got excited that I could finger paint those on... :(

[@scotsbillhicks]

You got my like the second you had the sagacity to show the timeline of your video. I can only use paint brushes so I appreciate seeing where I can skip to.

[@mrheisenberg83]

Oh man, this makes me want to buy whole squads of emperors children, paint every part of armor in a random violet variant (for cohesion) and have my enemies eyes fall out. My wallet hates this.

[@davedogge2280]

good idea

[@eugenioconti4688]

basic slaanesh tactics: confuse the enemy with your glam

[@sirtootiemus]

Wargame ASMR ...... She would totally clean up with subscribers , she knocks me out if I watch while chilling lol

[@augustussohn893]

Sir Tootiemus Agreed.

[@sleeplessknight99]

Those are some nifty COLORSHIFT paints from VALLEJO.

[@JD-ly7sq]

Thanks for doing this video! These paints were an impulse buy and kinda tricky to use at first, but once I saw your video and got a GLOSS base coat, not a matte, they turned out great! Specially the Space Dust Electric Blue Intense Violet.

[@ian_lambert-knight]

Dude I have no idea why but I find you so relaxing

[@vinnivanhood]

I would watch you talk about literally anything!!! Enchanting you are!

[@markgnepper5636]

Glad you got through the company wars , saw lots of support in KZbin continuity for you. Great job on the color review , awaiting my sets so I can do my colored plastic spoons samples.

[@philknecht3598]

I put the Red/Gold on my Custodes, and I've never been happier. I've picked up so many weird paints because of this channel.

[@EldritchAnimation]

This is exactly the video I needed to get started experimenting with these paints. Appreciate it!

[@michaelbaird5462]

That electric blue intense violet is awesome and the green yellow gold right after it. That gold yellow orange might be handy for a future 40k Minotaur chapter. Some awesome options for insect carapace! Thanks so much for this review, I am still waffling about what airbrush to get so I love seeing how they go on with a regular brush.

[@aartadventure]

I've been thinking about trying one of these sets out and your examples and thorough demonstrations have been extremely useful. Thanks so much!

[@therandomquote]

Thanks for making this ! Makes it alot easier to see how all the colour shifters will look out of the bottle before buying them.

[@kaluth7668]

Fantatics, this is the kind of video I was looking for, picking up the Galaxy Dust next time I'm in town, thank you so much!

[@HolyKripple]

Whoa that looks so awesome.

[@konradkurz8353]

Love the vid! Super helpful for helping me decide my future project colors. These are expensive paints and it's so helpful to know what they look like on a model before I drop the cash on them! Thank you!!!!

[@Enja_Near]

Thank you for this video. Helped me confirm that yes, I do indeed want this product.

[@chucklamb3496]

Nice to see them blended. Definitely going to try them.

[@foggyhighway3346]

Both of the vids on color shift convinced me to theme my iss vanguard models when i get them with these paints. Thanks for your great videos

[@lechar92]

A well educated and elegant person to present these paints. thank you for this video

[@lechar92]

And you've made it with brushes. Great paints I guess. I'm in a hurry to use mine now 😀

[@DaSoulmann]

Seems my local hobby shop does carry these kits, and I was really intrigued by the blending of colours you displayed... thanks for that. I have done colour fades and blends in the past, so I am really looking forward to playing with these effects. Once I get better control/consistency with the airbrush that is.

[@Vokdor1]

Awesome video... very informative. I am buying every last one of them!

[@darkdestiny9106]

This will be absolutely amazing to paint on Slaanesh models! Noise Marines rejoice everywhere! Oh, and Harlequins will love them too, maybe on a cloak, or weapons. Great video too, soothing voice and great timestamps so I can find what I want to see quickly. Earned yourself a sub!

[@jimboh5131]

Naomi, you are awesome; I don't know why I haven't come across your video before; thanks so much for the detailed info.

[@toddeverhart8683]

Thanks for introducing me to Vallejo Shifters. I'll be ordering some for my Sylvaneth bug bits. Perfect for insects!

[@terrywilliams2193]

Great review, very helpful.

[@jasonbritt2497]

That turquoise violet is what i plan on painting my new thousand sons army with

[@connordoyle2296]

Thanks so much for doing this! Looks amazing.

[@acandnine12]

First of all and most importantly..VICTORY to You!!! Secondly...yeah I'll get back to you on that because you were treated so very wrong and you are still standing!!!...which leads me back to...VICTORY to You!!!!

[@timomatic6226]

Gonna have to get me some of those paints and make some thousand sons scarab colored armor... Great video as usual, And thank you for inspiring my poor financial decisions :p

[@matt-rx6hi]

this is exactly what i wanted, thank you for the tutorial !!

[@murphy7801]

honestly such a helpful video

[@TimmyJEuchida]

The iridescence of these paints would look awesome on either the beetle that comes with Alarielle (Age of Sigmar) or varied dynasties of necrons

[@17thknight]

I'm doing my Nids' carapaces with them

[@liesureleeminis8268]

I plan on using for tyranids

[@dist0rted320]

Or the business ends of flamers, meltas or plasma guns. I like seeing when people paint the oxidation of the copper barrel on a flamer, and i think some of these paints could achieve that quite well.

[@createinspain]

I am into paper craft/home decor etc. My channel got caught up in the GSW issue and Vallejo very kindly sent me the whole set! I love them. I've now got some pretty coloured tape dispensers, tried them out on black mugs (very pretty). I find myself looking for dark stuff to paint :) I prefer the Vallejo to the GSW ones.

[@asiermartinez1179]

This colours are amazing for painting Alariell's Wardroth Beetle!!!!

[@SeithonJetter]

:D Your adorable, informative and nerdy, please keep making more videos :D

[@Helmsguard]

gold pale blue is definetly my favourite. Keep up the good work.

[@Parabueto]

I know I'm terribly late but this was a really nice review, especially where you went over the hand painted review too. I'm building an eldar corsair army and haven't sorted out an airbrush. I've been playing around with Greenstuff World colourshift paints as well and they're a lot of fun.

[@martinjrgensen8234]

I wouldn’t mind trying out a few on some gundam kits. Time to pick up some cheap HG’s I think. This is a SUPER comprehensive breakdown of the colors. Amazing work Naomi.

[@DragonFrog3D]

Love the review!

[@iTxip]

This was very informative and helpful

[@death2all79zx]

Looks really good as tyranid carapace.

[@sweety-samathedrama3042]

Thank you for this video! Several years ago I was totally into Tyranids (too much stress at work and depression made me stop though) and made my own colour scheme where I made the chitin parts brownish-yellow-Gold to give it that shimmer. I once talked to a games workshop guy about it but he told me I cannot use metallic paint on them because they’re biological. I think it turned out well though. But I think it was the same guys that was appalled when I showed him my broodlord and he asked what the stuff in it’s hands and on the base was and I answered “intestines” (had some green stuff left and made it look like intestines to make that more gruesome). You could read on his forehead “but... but she’s a girl! Girls don’t do that!” 🤣 I think I now found a way to make them look way cooler than before! You inspired me to try to paint minis again! 😘🤗

[@17thknight]

That dude sounds like a turd. Not to mention: beetles have a very metallic look to them.

[@edwarddormer1103]

Sweety-sama The Drama I base my nids in ironbreaker. No such thing as “can’t” with your own paint scheme! 😀

[@geronimo8159]

GW stores clerks tend to be such "experts" from time to time.

[@TheGlobuleReturns]

This video is amazing asmr btw. Your voice is perfect for it.

[@sheridanfalkenberry5611]

These are awesome! Thank you so much for doing this video, I've been in love with these paints since I came across them but was worried that they wouldn't be friends with my paintbrush!

[@jasonbrecht8572]

Oh wow. The possibilities with these paints are fantastic. No more 7 steps to get a heat effect or carapace pearlescent chiton (sp?). Thanks to Gamza linking your vids, your supporters during the censorship bump and to you, Ms. Steele, for your wonderful attitude, practical delivery and reviews. I've binge watched several vids and now time to paint stuff!!

[@ElrohirGuitar]

This was very helpful. I usually prime with white, so I do wonder how that would look compared to your models. I especially like the turquoise/violet and the electric blue/ intense violet. I don't use airbrush, but I can see how that would give a more smooth transition and finish, Thank you.

[@christophergorman6431]

Awesome video, thank you so much!

[@theGermanPrintingNerd]

Absolute Amazing , after watching your Video I went to ebay and Bought both sets of the Color Changing Colors

[@Malgor00]

Nicely done video! I can't wait to see what you'll do with em next! Maybe you could see what they would look like used as a glaze?

[@4sayk3n]

Love love your voice it's so relaxing and calm ❤️😊. Love ya videos

[@WarLore]

Extremely useful, thank you! 5:41 magic dust

[@5taEspadaDR]

going to try them on my genestealers. those two color that looked bug-ey where awesome. ty for the display

[@Jawabeer]

think I'm doing this right.... I completed the previous 2 tasks... my most memorial painting/ hobby events would have to be getting a Knight Vallent from my son for fathers this past yeah with him using his own my to get it for me and the racing to finish for a paint comp at local game store... taking it in when we thought it was only to have it top part fall off onto to the floor and find out we have 5 more days and then winning the comp.... we both are beyond proud of it

[@Darksxar]

Oh yeah these are gonna be nice for my daughers of khaine melusai's. Perfect effect to snake scales. Thanks for show casing these!

[@michaelpro7092]

Doing up three Umberhulks. Useing three of the space dust on the shell parts to give them that June Beetle look. Also already have used this stuff on a Nightwalker with some teal ink and flicking of white paint to make him look like he's made of the night sky. Even without an airbrush this is fun stuff 😁👍

[@MaZEEZaM]

Thanks for the review and overview. At first I thought there wasn't a lot of distinction between some of the colours but looking a bit more closely it looks like they do actually have pretty distinct colours. Good stuff from Vallejo, I really like the set. For me it would be used really well on birds, especially something like a phoenix. +1 Subscription :)

[@ModestAlmighty]

It looks like you got a lot of work done during the State of Emergency! Great video.

[@CodysGeekyShenanigans]

The one licking the ground is my favorite!

[@jedrzejwilinski8148]

I hope I won't sound creepy - I really like the softness of your voice. The quality of those paints seems good, especially on marines. Thanks for your great work!

[@willburnham]

Ditto. Naomi, I love the soft and calming quality of your voice. And, I love your videos. Thanks for the great review. I ordered each set and I am looking forward to painting many Battletech minis with them.

[@anthonyh4745]

yeah, they look much better painted on a rounded surface. some of the darker colours would suit the dark eldar i reckon.

[@LB-yg2br]

Thank you so much for doing this and saving me money. Space dust it is!

[@OverboardDM]

The paints and the painter are gorgeous. 😉 Great video. Can't wait to try those.

[@crax83]

I'm thinking about using one of these, probably turquoise violet, on Alarielle's beetle. Then see if I can matte it down a bit with a wash or diluted contrast paint on top.

[@arx1381]

Turquoise violet and Green Blue Violet were my favourite overall. I would love to see you drybrush the range over gloss and matt black just out of curiosity. Great video, you have been very busy. X

[@mcpearce]

Really helpful - thanks a bunch!

[@skogpekka]

"...Brother! This unicorn barf that I seem to be covered with, does this classify as heresy?!" "-Don't worry Brother(!), this barf is inert. No purging needed." Nice pigments indeed - thx for testing sharing!

[@VoxFelis]

Me watching this video with headphones in. *ASMR levels increasing*

[@MrArivay]

Really interesting. I didn't know these existed until I watched this video. The painted Tyranids sparked a few ideas. Using something like GBV over black for the chitin bits for a beetle like carapace could look good. The OGGV over black gave me some Giger Xenomorph vibes.

[@twincast2005]

Now I really wish I had a project in the pipeline for which they'd be well-suited. Dem so pretty.

[@paulausten5786]

Great review, I’d certainly be interested on doing Emperors Children with those paints, unfortunately not for my sisters. Great review

[@ubertoonz]

Have you or could do a video varnishing a few ? Curious how it comes out. Thanks for the videos on this paint.

[@cm60854]

Fantastic video, thank you for putting in all that work. I've just got my sets, and I'm hoping you've continued to experiment. Have you tried the paints over a gloss white? Have you tried them over a zenithal prime?

[@caw25sha]

There used to be a very small British sports car company called TVR who painted a lot of their cars in this type of paint. I think purple/green was the most popular.

[@MorganL4]

No no no. You promised by hand. You have to be honest with us. We are owed a finger painted noise marine!

[@MaZEEZaM]

haha, I thought of finger painting too :D

[@papagarouge]

These look really cool! Thanks for showing them off. Have you tried washes over them? Curious if it cancels out the shifting effect of the paint.

[@justink9962]

Those paints are amazing on Genestealers with their armor being a carapace it kind of fits how the colors reflect in the light

[@leroybyrd6373]

Currently trying to find the Space Dust set for my Necrons. I wonder what they might look over Chainmail primer. Also interested to see what they might look like either covering or sitting alongside other metallics and inks.

[@chief1721]

Electric blue Intense violet will make for nice Warp energy effects on my Librarians. I also intent to use the subtle pearl effect when they are painted on white surfaces. My Space marines will have some very pretty ornaments on their gear, soon.

[@ivanstraussenberg5897]

I’ve recently started painting minis and your videos have been very helpful! Is there any chance you’ll be able to review Turbo Dork’s shifters as well?

[@judgedreddthelaw3418]

Seeing all these different kinds of paints and all the techniques to paint.....makes me sorely regret I didn't get more into the painting aspect of my 40k days. I used to be decent but seeing Naomi's techniques shows me how much further I could've gone and improved. Naomi, what's your preferred technique for painting minis?

[@stephenforfitt1707]

Nice video and review,I paint by brush,so I'm a bit traditional.Not for me unless I wanted to paint something like a large robot(interesting) .But thanks for the time spent on the review, i have now been able to make a choice.

[@orkusdorkusmaximus]

wonder what a light spray of white ink would do. great work with these paints

[@benjaminpowers609]

Great episode. Doing a real public service here 👍

[@jjk281]

Thanks for sharing this! Did any of the paints have a purple/gold shift? I think it would look great on Custodes! Thanks again! 🙂

[@Mad4saxBrewery]

TV is definitely rocking!

[@johnnyka-pow7481]

I mix iridescent ink with paints to get different metallic effects. Very similar to the end result of these color shifting paints. Glad to know i'm on the same page as the people at Vallejo. ;)

[@twincast2005]

As for the questions: I honestly can't pick a favorite. I like them better on curved surfaces. I actually like how they look on white quite a lot; my choice of undercoat would depend on the theme I'm going for. And I am delighted that they look perfectly nice when brushed on, too.

[@balkenkreuz2063]

Good thing you can use a brush to get really nice results. I am going to use the EBIV for my Necron army ;)

[@Freelance3DAnimation]

Cute! ☺️

[@staker13]

Long shot, but how do these hold up to a heavy black wash? I was thinking of using color shift/change paint for terrain and generally do heavy black washes to bring out all the nooks and crannies. I wouldn't want to lose the color movement, but I'm afraid of it losing its depth without the black washes.

[@RandomTim84]

Looking to create an iridescent effect pink horrors. Don't want them shiny and must be predominantly pink. So, how do these colour shifts stack up once a flat colour is applied over them? Does it give the same effect, just less pronounced, or does the additional colour remove the bi-colour properties? I may need to conduct some experimentation....

[@MaZEEZaM]

You must be very lucky as Vallejo must have sent you them before they were available to the general public at least thats what I assume since I have just checked locally in Australia as I would like to purchase them due to your review, I was completely unaware of these products before your video and you sold them to me so Vallejo got their moneys worth just one me lol. Sadly for my wallet they cost $40 AUD per set and I will be buying all 3 sets, they are so awesome. ETA Feb 5th

[@ilovepigs44]

Can you do washes over the paints? And what happens if you use a matte varnish like testors dullcote? Thanks so much!

[@hayatoken2192]

Would this be any good to glaze or wash over purple armor in a purple/neon green color scheme? What could be the best shifter color there?

[@Specter5053]

Is it necessary to use the gloss black primer, or can I use regular Vallejo black, or will that mute the effect of the paint? Also, what would a zenithal highlight make up for that if I did or mess it up?

[@JarradJL10]

What was the second to last mini you showed? I didn’t recognize it and love how it looks, so I need to get one.

[@thebobbins1735]

I need to get some of these paints, and do some T'au stuff. Oh yes.
