Sparkle Water-Based Fine Micro-Pigment Markers - Pack of 3 - Includes Flexible Brush Nib - by Spectrum Noir (Clear Overlay)

I wasn't real sure at first about these but after devoting an evening to getting to know them I think they are great!!. I had a little problem getting the ink to flow at first and that was because I hadn't screwed the top on well enough. I had to use a needle to get the other one started, so they can be stubborn but don't give up! I don't compare them to WOS because WOS is more of an opaque glitter that doesn't really work as an overlay. The Spectrums do work as an overlay because they are transparent. They work beautifully over color pencil! I was happy to see that the brush went into a nice point after a little practice. For me the glitter effect is just enough. Use these with a very light touch. Applying too much may smear the color underneath and dull it. If you want more glitter, wait until it dries completely then add another layer. The glitter does not fall off and make a mess, but if you put your finger on it, yes you will see some on your finger. If that's an issue you may want to consider some kind of fixative for your completed work. It took me awhile, but the more I use them the more I like them!

I bought this to add some shimmer to cards that I make, to give them a little something extra but still allow them to be flat when mailed (unlike using gems or sequins). I'm super happy with this but it does tend to warp thinner paper and cardstock (because it is a liquid form of shimmer), so I made sure to apply it to cardstock that was layered and backed with more cardstock. It can be a little easy to get it everywhere if you put your finger in it while still drying and touch another project but I don't really mind that too much. It can come out very wet after the first squeeze so I find it helpful to use a piece of scrap to dab on after getting it going so it doesn't drown your project. Super fun to use and makes a nice shimmer. Definitely want to get more colors!

Love these clear coat glitter pens! Absolutely amazing!!! They make everything gorgeous but not to the extent that it's too much. I even put it over my nail polish and clear Coated it ...made my manicure look paid for instead of an at home job. They're super easy to use and they release just enough of the glaze so it doesnt puddle up and they dry fairly quickly.

There's no instructions on the package or pen!!! I wore out my fingers "pushing" the sides of the pen, no ink! It said push but it means SQUEEZE. I unscrewed the pen and thought, something has to pierce the pen where the ink is stored (like my insulin pens.) THEN I realized the neon green ring in the middle of the pen was a SPACER!! I removed it, screwed the pen back together. I felt the head of the pen settle tightly into the handle and VIOLA! I had ink flow. It went on clear, sheer and dried relatively quickly quickly for gorgeous sparkle that is more delicate than glitter!!!! Now I'm off to find out how far 1 pen goes to sparkle up my coloring pages! Happy but worn out!

I had a set of these from Tuesday Mornings before they closed. Those were more glorified glitter pens with a light color tent to them. However, THIS specific pack (with the black/silver,etc.) was vibrant and incredible looking on all paper types I've used it on so far. It does pour out fast so be careful once you get it going. I would strongly suggest using thicker paper since copy paper tends to curl over time when you use these on it.

I use the Clear marker since it is perfect for adding Some sparkle to my greeting cards. This marker applies the perfect amount of glitter. I use to use another brand but it either globbed large amounts or barely enough. This product is perfect.

I usually use the clear Wink of Stella brush pen to add sparkle to my projects. However, when I was running out and needed to buy more I saw that the price was much higher than when I had previously purchased them. I had heard good things about these Spectrum Noir sparkle pens from various YouTubers in the card making community so decided that since the price was lower that I would give them a shot. I was pleasantly surprised at how shimmery and sparkly these are!! Very comparable to the Wink of Stella, if not better. The only thing is the brush size of this is a little larger than the Wink of Stella. The Wink had a smaller, finer point that works for tiny details. But for my purposes these will work out just fine!

The only other sparkle brush pen I have tried is Wink of Stella (clear). Don't get me wrong, I do love the WOS pen, but I like these pens much better. I am able to get a more even flow & even lay-down of the sparkle effect. The Wink of Stella was sometimes blotchy looking. Also, the sheen that is given off this ink is cooler in tone... and I prefer cool hues over warm. At first, I was upset that I had to buy three of these pens and could buy a single one, but I am really glad I have three, now.. and they are a wonderful deal! These pens are larger than the Wink of Stella, and I assume they probably hold more ink. The only problem with this pen is that now I want ALL the colors! :)

Las uso muchísimo y me encantan

Lo compre pensando que era opaco, pero es muy transparente y deja un tono brillante sobre cualquier medio, yo lo he usado con colores, acuarelas, acrílicos y corticos, el resultado es muy interesante. Solo no es permanente cuando tocas la imagen algo de la brillantina se te queda en los dedos.

Me encantan, espero pronto esten disponibles nuevamente!!!

I absolutely love them

Love these pens. I have a few sets now. They are very delicate and great for making cards to give a subtle hint of sparkle.
