Great colours, excellent quality, use on just about any surface and leaves a great finish

They are great for my card making.

These pens give more of a metallic effect with all of the pens reflecting as silver. Each pen is individually wrapped. Their caps are a really tight fit and not easy to remove, but I suppose this will prevent the nibs from drying out. The nibs are quite hard and on some surfaces can be scratchy which produces a fine spatter of paint around your colouring or writing. The barrel of the pen has graphics that show how to use the pen and if these instructions are followed, I found the pens worked very well. You have to shake the pen quite a bit, I shook until I could hear the ball bearing moving inside the pen and clicking as it hit each end of the reservoir. You should then hold the pen vertically, with the nib down, to allow any air bubbles to rise to the top of the ink. This ensures that the ink can flow to the nib and won't be impeded by an air-lock. Now pump the pen once, for most of the colours this was enough to allow ink to flow into the nib and prime it ready for use. You can see the ink flow into the nib and monitor its progress to the tip, this does require a little patience and, for my pens, I gave another pump or two if I couldn't see the ink flowing into the nib. Only the black pen required more pumping than this, but I suspect that I hadn't shaken it quite enough. Less is more when it comes to using these pens, don't pump the nib until it starts to run dry, if you do you risk the ink blobbing. I've left the pens laying on their sides over night and they have all started working perfectly after a really good shake and a pump if necessary. The 12 pen colour selection isn't brilliant as some of the colours are very similar and overall, they are not bright. If you colour a solid block, the colour of the ink only shows properly around the edge and the rest of the area appears as silver. In my limited experience with these pens I think they will be best for text, lettering and line drawing rather than colouring. Although quite good, these pens aren't a glitter effect pen. They are quite good as a silver metallic with coloured halo pen. I don't plan to buy them again as there are better metallic pens out there.

very nice and the colours are lovely

Using these pens for craft work. Currently painting glass and wood with them to good effect. Will buy again when these are empty.

They are good if you not bothered by the very strong solvent smell. After using it for 10 min I had to open the window as I was worried about my 5yo. I would never called them glitter as, so far they look metalic rather then glitter. Shimmering parts are all silver and microscopic. It's OK for some adult or big kids crafts, but I would never call them glitter markers.

Good glitter pens. My granddaughter loves them Good value and durable and dry quickly

These pens were great for my projects.
