Do the pastel colors fade quicker than the originals?

The pastels lasted a few weeks, fading more with each wash. By about the end of week 3, mine was turning almost blonde with just some light blues and greens left through it. It looked washed out at that point and I chose to do another color then. Total time from bright blue to needing dyed again was about 6-7 weeks.

There really is not a huge difference you just have more colors to chose from. If your just needing something for a personal collection I would use this. They are the same highly pigmented really long and beautiful. :)

We had a Shrinky Dinks book that recommended applying clear nail polish after it cools completely. Otherwise, according to the book, the colored-pencil designs may lose color over time. We did not see any problems with fading, either with or without nail polish.

No! No repeat colors! There are a lot of reds but they have different shades and textures :)

I have noticed they can change color over time. I don't know if that has any impact on their effectiveness.

The 24 set has more colors. It includes all the colors that are in the 12 color set and more. These are actually great and at a great price. If you are new to oil pastels, I think you'll enjoy them. If you already have the 12 color set, you will get more of the same colors in the 24 but they are the ones that will be used up the fastest. Go for the 24. You'll be glad you did.

Hi There. No they have enhanced the colour of the first pic. They are more subtle like the other pics which is why we bought it. It's not overpowering. Hope that helps.

They aent super pigmented. They are kind of softer colors. Their is some fallout with them too, but I still like the colors and would probably purchase them again.

No they are not that shiny. The strips are also not that visible. They are more muted.

Hi Sarah , we had one for our kid for many years and it was great and never faded , this one was purchased for our nieces and they haven't used them at this time . They are a little different than the one we had so I can't say for sure that they are the same quality .

It depends on the color. Some of the colors I got are creamy and some are dry.

They make a set in primary colors as well as pastels. The set I ordered my niece was a pastel one. Extremely well made - she loves it!

Not so far. I have had three of them since April, and they are still the same color as when I bought them. I've had others in he past that have faded, but these look good still. We get a lot of sun during summers in Virginia.

Yes. We tye dyed them earlier in the summer and they still look good after many washings. They may look a little more faded than a 100% cotton t-shirt would, but as long as you really soak them with the dye and follow washing instructions, they should turn out fine.

The colours have not faded, and, I'm pretty sure they won't, TY is good at having colours that won't fade. The colours are pretty much as deep as they are in the picture, maybe a little deeper, but, it is the exact same colours as Rainbow Dash should be.

It probably depends on the color your working with. The pale colors fade much more quickly. My daughter used the pale pink. It was a nice color but high maintenance to keep it up. I certainly think it's an idea worth trying

Not with this batch. The cyan and magenta emptied faster than all the rest. The blacks and yellow seem to last a long time.
