I’ve been super into enhancing my diamond paintings with special drills, and ever since I got a few iridescent drills in my Mini Dazzles kits, I’ve been waiting for these to go back into stock, and I’m so glad I was able to snag a few of these when it did! I have several iridescent drills from other companies, but none of them can come even close to the shine that DAC’s iridescent drills have! Just like their standard drills, these also have the 15 facets on them, and that’s truly what sets it apart from other drills and diamond painting companies.
The only caveat is that the colors are a bit lighter than the DMC code they’re associated with (ie DMC 336 is a dark navy blue) due to the iridescent/reflective nature of the drill, so I would highly recommend taking a look at the colors associated with the kit you want to enhance, and eyeball the colors carefully side by side.
Currently working on Kakomu by Margaret Morales, and when I originally tried to swap in L-336 for 336 on the canvas, it came off a tad bit too light, so I ended up swapping it with DMC 826 (closest and best possible color match across the board, in my opinion!) and DMC 3760 instead to create a water-like reflection, and have been quite happy with how it’s turning out so far😊
Enhancing a DAC diamond painting—especially when the original rendering and included drills are already at such a high and exceptional quality—is definitely a challenge, but I just know that the completed painting will have even…
