Shuttle Art Acrylic Paint Set (50 colours, 2oz/60ml) with 10 brushes

The essentials for everyday painting and crafting

If you’re after a paint set that’s meant for getting stuck in, Shuttle Art’s acrylic kit is a sensible-looking choice. You get 50 colours in 60ml/2oz bottles, plus 10 paint brushes, which makes it the sort of bundle you can open, pick a few shades, and start without having to assemble your own starter range.

On paper, it’s designed to work across art and craft surfaces. The paints are water-based, have a creamy texture, and are described as easy to mix and layer. That combination matters for beginners because acrylic can feel forgiving when you’re learning how coverage and opacity behave, and “easy to mix and layer” is exactly what you want if you’re experimenting with blends rather than following a strict colour recipe.

What you’ll notice in use

Acrylic dries quickly, and the set is positioned as permanent, waterproof and fade resistant once it’s cured on the surface. That’s a big deal for anyone painting on projects that will be handled, moved around, or exposed to the day-to-day of being a craft (think rock painting, small décor pieces, or classroom-style activities).

The description also points out good coverage “and a little paint can go a long way”. That’s worth considering because these kits can vary wildly in how far they stretch, if you’ve ever had to go back for more mid-project, you’ll appreciate a set that’s built to cover efficiently.

For a quick example: imagine coating a smooth stone with a base colour, waiting for it to dry, then layering a couple of smaller details (eyes, patterns, highlights) on top. The “stays on surfaces extremely well” claim is the kind of feature that helps when you don’t want your top layer to smear immediately after painting.

Multi-surface capability (and a realistic limitation)

Shuttle Art frames these acrylic paints as suitable for most surfaces such as glass, rocks, nails, walls, canvas, leather, ceramic, wood, clay and crafts. That broad list is a good sign if you tend to jump between different project types rather than working on one consistent medium.

However, there’s an important caveat in the information provided: the paints are regular acrylics, not suitable for outdoor activities and they can’t withstand harsh weather conditions. So if your goal is something like an exterior garden feature, this kit may disappoint—worth keeping for indoor and sheltered projects instead.

It also helps to remember that “waterproof” here is about performance on surfaces after drying, not about making the paint itself immune to all conditions. If you’re planning something that will get regularly soaked or exposed to extremes, it’s better to be cautious and check whether acrylic is the right fit for that environment.

Colour range, finish ideas, and what to expect

The set is described as using commonly used colours, with additional options including hot fluorescent and metallic shades. That’s useful if you want to do more than just a basic palette—fluorescent and metallic colours can make crafts feel more “finished” even when the design is simple.

That said, a 50-colour range is not the same thing as having every single shade you’ll ever need. For serious colour-critical work, artists sometimes prefer fewer colours with larger quantities or their own curated palette. This kit leans more toward variety and accessibility than towards being a tightly controlled professional range.

Safety and suitability for different ages

The acrylic paints are described as non-toxic and acid-free, and they conform to U.S. ASTM D-4236 and EN71-3. For UK buyers, this is the kind of compliance detail that supports safer use in educational and family settings.

That makes it a reasonable option for beginners, enthusiasts, students, and kids (with adult supervision as you’d expect for any painting activity). Still, it’s sensible to treat any paint project—especially for children—as a “mess will happen” situation: protect surfaces, lay down paper or a mat, and plan for cleanup.

Buying verdict

It makes sense if you want a broad, beginner-friendly acrylic paint kit with plenty of colours and enough brushes to start immediately, especially for indoor crafting and painting on a variety of surfaces.

It’s not the best choice if you specifically need outdoor durability or harsh-weather resistance, because the information provided clearly flags that limitation.

You may want to skip it if you’re an advanced artist looking to build a highly specialised palette with consistent, repeatable colour mixing. For most first-time users, hobbyists, schools, and family projects, though, this kind of “many colours in one go” setup is usually where value comes from.
