"Beautiful paints, as always. Unfortunately I think the mail carrier might have gotten a little rough with the bubble envelope, since all the shells were loose and rattling around, and the paint pearl fell out of one shell. The paint isn't damaged. A little glue will get the shells back in place, and a few drops of water can get the paint pearl back where it belongs. I've ordered a shell set before, without problem, and will definitely be purchasing in the future, because these colors are amazing!"
