The paints are original - first quality. 5 colors will be sent in separate tubes - red, yellow, blue, orange and green. They are very effective paints - adding as much as the tip of a toothpick will be enough. They are compatible with each other - you can get different colors by mixing. Note: Paints do not show their colors until they melt. Do not be fooled by the colors visible before use. You can understand the colors from the fold of the tube cap.
