Exactly my first thought when watching this. I base coat with pink and put yellow over that specifically because yellow over the top of...well, everything else...looks like ass and has terrible coverage.
No one asked for the brand of the color palette and when I made my comment you didn't have the part where you guessed the brand of the paint. You just randomly name dropped a brand of color palette which has literally nothing to do with the coverage of paint.
That's like of someone asked what brand of shoes someone is wearing and you're like they probably come in a box. That's probably true, but only because most shoes come in boxes and it's completely irrelevant to the question.
The link provided are the highlight pens used after the initial color has dried. The previous comment is asking about the initial color that looks similar to a qtip.
a while back, someone in the comments said it’s liquitex basics fluid acrylic. i don’t know if they’re right but i bought a few bottles and it’s my go-to acrylic paint unless i can’t find the right color
This is the classic internet "super impossibly opaque paint, with the tip/brush dipped in it up to the ferrule, that magically covers in one coat, stays impossibly loaded on the brush so you never have to re-load the paint until you move on to the next color, and nobody can tell you what it is."
Edit: You can also apparently spread it perfectly by pushing the brush backwards, let alone having no basic brush technique.
Edit2: The person in the video is wearing those black gloves that only professional chefs wear when doing Tik Toks, so clearly they are the real professional here.
You've figured it out, all that's left is to accept your best efforts for what they are. That and spending $100 on Tooli Art acrylic markers.
... Cause ngl not wrestling my equipment for opaque colour on the first go has been delightful. I should get refillable acrylic brush pens and fill them myself but I'm so fuckin lazy.
But yeah that and learning that comparison is the thief of joy. Mostly that.
It’s like trying to find that one great-looking jacket or lipstick color etc. that you saw a film/TV character wear. You could buy the exact same one but yours won’t have stylists attached to it, or set crew to yell “cut!” every minute so said stylist can swoop in and brush, straighten, touch up, etc., and editors who’ll cut out every frame where you don’t look perfect wearing it.
Im not saying you are wrong, and that is is not fake, because you have the same exact thoughts I was having, but my understanding from looking into it, is that these are gels, not paint. He is spreading a pool around with a sponge, and the strong edges of the wood create a barrier to stop the meniscus. I am really just holding out hope that this can be real, in any way. Lol
At its brightest, a nuclear detonation is about 1016 times brighter than the surface of the Sun per surface area. That's 10,000,000,000,000,000 or ten billion million times brighter. The reason for this is that it's 10,000 times hotter than the surface of the Sun.

That's very pigmented paint!
