💎 I finished my first mini kit from Diamond Art Club and I think it turned out really well! Not sure I like almost every drill being fairy dust, but now I have lots of extras to use on other diamond paintings!! I also thought it would be interesting, while showing of my finish, to compare the new mini kits to the PaintGem mini kits. After doing a bit of research to compare, I think that both companies/kits have their pluses and minuses. What do you think? 💎

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 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
@@Rubies_And_Moonstones 95 bags! Wow! I don’t think I counted how many I had. It is nice to have the fairy dust for spares, but I also bought some myself from DP with Sparklers. Congrats on your channel!!
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. 💜😐💜
@@sylviakanel9766 Yes, definitely. Like I said, I’m sure DAC will be adding to their selection for the minis. Thanks for watching!!
Great review thanks 😊
@@0523SHARON Thanks for watching!!
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.
@@mamalou1962 Thanks for watching!!
I think the only DAC mini I'm interested in is the flowers and patriotic. But that's for later down the road. As always, great info from you. Take care.
@@user-rx9rh5lu1e Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the review.
@@NancyCanadian Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the review. I’m with you about the diamonds being packaged separately for each kit. Such a waste. Hopefully DAV will improve that in time.
@@ruthforget253 I’ve heard that they will be leaving them all individually packaged as they are now. We’ll have to see!
I love them being all fair dust. They look really nice.
@@patriciahawkins8336 I like the fairy dust drills too, just not for every single color. Thanks for sharing!!
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.
@@kaityyart I can see both sides, but personally I would prefer them all together as well. Thanks for sharing!!
Excellent review. I haven't tried the mini's yet.
@@marshah5930 Thanks for watching!!
Hi Daphne, thank you for your critique.
@@elizabethwarman9028 Thanks for watching!!
Please include the Make market kit in that comparison. That would be interesting, especially because they are round!
@@PerpetualPrograstinator Does Make Market make mini kits? I’ve not seen those. Thanks for watching!!
@@DiamondPaintingAnonymous Yes! They also have mini kits similar to paint gems. They are much cheaper and you can even get them lower when you apply the online %30 off they regularly have. They are also only 6 pieces in one package.
Their themes are so similar to PG.
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.
@@elnoralouisa1 I’m not personally a fan of the new toolkit. I like my trays to have taller walls, but everyone works differently. Thanks for sharing!!
Paintgem drills drive me bananas lol. I'm hoping dac expands the minis but I'm not sure how I'll like all special drills. I haven't opened the 2 dac minis i bought yet, so thanks for the video of yours
@@lisasegorski I like the fairy dust drills, just not sure they need to be every single one. Thanks for watching!!
I want to use square drills. Can I use mini dazzles to practice?
@@trishwilliams3393 That’s a great idea! They are small and probably great for practicing with squares if you’ve never done them before.
I’m doing a DAC Silver Husky kit and it will probably be my last DAC. Due to gapping and trash. It’s been a challenge.
@@marladillard8721 Older kits tend to have more trash drills, but having them sure saps some of the enjoyment out of painting, that’s for sure!!
@@DiamondPaintingAnonymous yes. I’m thinking of contacting the company. I bought it new from the company and it didn’t have a perforated cover sheet, which wasn’t a big deal to me, but was an indication that it was old stock. Then there have been half old and new drills. What would you recommend?
@@marladillard8721 You can always contact them and ask. They sent me drills on one kit after I mistakenly mixed two colors together. Good luck!
I'm curious how you were able to finish them in 3 hours? I've done the paint gem ones and one canvas took me 3 hours. I guess I'm just a slow dp'er lol
@@maggiesorge7466 I do multiplace, so that makes it go faster. However works for you is great! Thanks for watching!!
@@DiamondPaintingAnonymous That makes sense! Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed paint gem has a good amount of trash. I was surprised when I was working on mine how many had tabs and how much trash I was pulling out. But they are definitely a fun project and helped me when I needed a break from studying.
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.
@@rosesmith6925 I would love for DAC to do some PD images!
