Hi, I'm new to beading and lately I've really enjoyed making these tiny frogs ^-^

As you can see though, the black beads I used for the eyes turned out to be white beads with black paint that rubs off quite easily.

This is probably a noob question, but how can I tell when ordering online if the beads are gonna be truly colored or just painted? Do you have any recommendations? Can I trust the popular brands like Miyuki to be a solid color?

Thanks in advance!
