24 METALLIC

I’ve bought a lot of Tooli Art sets over the years, but this neon medium-tip pack is the one I keep reaching for the most. The colors are ridiculously bright — truly neon, not just “kind of vibrant.” On canvas they pop instantly, even without a base coat, and the pigmentation is consistent across every color in the set. The flow on these is really smooth. But with all paint pens I feel even the most professional pens get clogged. You do have to shake them really hard to get them started. Once you’ve actually used them once and you go to use them again, you need to give it a good shake because sometimes the little ball inside gets stuck. Sometimes I have to smack it on a table or something to get it lose. The medium tip gives me the perfect line weight for bold outlines, chunky lettering, and filling in small areas without streaking. Medium tip is my go to but the fine tip is good for fine lines and details. If you’re someone who likes to color larger spaces, this tip size really shines. One thing I appreciate with Tooli Art in general is that their color range is bigger than Posca’s. I still love Posca, but Tooli gives me so much more variety in color selection and they have specialty tones that give you so much more color range than Posca. This neon set feels like a little box of sunshine — electric pinks, bright greens, glowing oranges — all of them look incredible under natural light. Durability has been great so far: no leaking, no drying out, but the nibs sometimes get frayed or clogged which is annoying. The nice thing is they give you a whole bunch of extra nibs so if one gets clogged you have replacements. One way to get it unclogged is you can remove the nib and soak it in warm water to get it going again, and if that doesn’t work just replace it. I would say with medium tip the fraying is way less noticeable and really isn’t too much to interfere with using it. They’re actually pretty hard and tight nibs, but with all paint pens realistically they have some fraying. It doesn’t bother me that much tho and the color still comes out nice. For the price, I honestly think these pens are an amazing value. They perform like a premium set without the premium price tag. But if you’re like me you want them all so yeah that can get pricey haha If you like bold color and use paint pens often, this set is absolutely worth having. I recommend Tooli Art all the time, I post my art and tag them on IG all the time. The neon set has officially become my favorite in my whole collection, but I am still collecting more!! Oh yes and one more thing, they suggest storing it horizontally and I think it does make a difference. I was keeping them upright and I think they would get all stuck more often.

I’ve had these for just over 24 hours, and so far I love them! I admit I am curious to see how they hold up over time, and will definitely update this review accordingly. I’ve been using Posca and Artistro paint pens, which are both incredible, but really want to find something that isn’t quite as expensive. The color range for those is also not quite comparable to all that Tooli-Art appears to offer. Since I use pastels most frequently, I went with the tooli-art pastel pack. I can confirm every pen is a different color (I’ve experienced so many sets in which several ‘colors’ apply almost indifferently). The tip is plastic and very pointy (.7 size) , but I had no problem using it on paper. It did catch slightly when using on watercolor paper, but I expected that. When using on acrylic (since many people buy these for rock or glass painting) the one thing I’d note is that unless the ink is really flowing, it does have a tendency to pick the ink back up when applying multiple layers/coats. Opacity: Really nice! I did a second coat on most of the color swatches seen in the pictures here, but the color is still vivid and defined when only applying one coat. I would probably recommend a buyer to expect to need a second coat with most of the colors just to ensure full coverage, especially if applying it to a larger area. Usage on Paper: These definitely worked on multiple types of paper for me! I was worried since most of the reviews were based on use on hard surfaces (I.e rock) but these really worked on paper! I tried it on watercolor paper, notebook paper (black and white), computer paper, card stock, and Kraft paper. Again, only slight scratching when using the papers with heavier texture (watercolor and Kraft). I only attempted to blend the pens/inks once, but from that test it seemed to blend fine. I do worry a tiny bit about how they will hold up. After swatching yesterday, a couple pens had the tips clog today when using again. Thankfully they came with a great little brochure of sorts explaining how to fix it (cleaning tip with water) then I just pushed down the tip again. Additionally, I’m not sure how long the pens will last since they are much smaller/thinner than many paint pens so I imagine that translates to less product filled. We shall see. I have high hopes and intend to order more colors/sets soon! ☺️ Congratulations if you read this entire review 😂😂😂

Guys these pens are amazing! I'm an artist who hates to paint. I know that's a contradiction, but it's true. I love to draw though! I was struggling to get some paintings finished (I got bored with them) when I thought I'd try paint pens - a combination of painting and drawing, right? With crossed fingers I bought these after doing some research. I already had a couple of random paint pens from 'the other guys' I'd used to sketch with and lay down outlines, but they weren't amazing and they were hard to use. However when I tried the Tooli pens I was really impressed! First of all the tips (I got all Xtra Fine) are very nice, firm, pointy, can get good detail. Very responsive. Love that they send extras! The ink flows smoothly and isn't blotchy or blobby at all (at least not yet, we will see after I use them for a while.) But what really blew me away was the colors. The black is REALLY BLACK! The 'other guys' black is about the same level as the Tooli dark gray! I mean this is super India Ink color black, really beautiful. Other colors are vivid and stay wet just long enough that you can bring in another color and blend quite well. Note that if you puddle two different colors together they will instantly combine, kind of like water colors. Be prepared for that quick bleed. I recommend these to artists who want to doodle on canvas; works great!! Specifically for this color set, the earth tones are super nice. I do a lot of wildlife paintings and I needed the more 'natural' colors which are used for fur, feathers, shadows, that kind of thing. These colors are wonderfully 'muddy' and 'muted' and much more natural than the color-crayon 'regular' set. Very nice.

Let me start this off by saying that I am an artist. I am one of those picky artists who is obsessed with finding the perfect paint or the perfect paintbrush.. or the perfect.... paint pen. I have a massive collection of paint pens with names such as Posca, Montana and Molotow. We all know those paint pens aren't cheap and they come with flaws. I took a risk and decided to buy these because I was drawn to the range of color! I felt it was worth the risk! Let me tell you..It was definitely worth the risk! I've included a pic of a fraction of my markers and paint pens in my review so you can get an idea of what I work with for comparison. This is not a paid review and I definitely bought all 5 or 6 sets with my own money so, I'll copy and paste this review on every set I've purchased. Pros: 1. Easy to get the paint to flow. Shake it to mix any settled paint. It took about 4 pumps on average to get the paint to flow. 2. Great coverage. I even tested yellow over black. Posca can't compare to this. I included a picture with multiple layers of different colors overlapping for reference. 3. The tips aren't getting clogged with paint. Anyone who as dealt with an ultra fine Posca and the muddy mess that can unexpectedly happen on a project knows the frustration. It hasn't happened once. 4. The fine lines are comparable to Posca Ultra Fine. 5. The color range is phenomenal. They aren't dups of the same color. Each color is different and is perfect for the painting without actually having to paint effect. 6. I havent tried it yet, but I can bet these would be great for rock painting also. 7. These work WONDERFUL on YUPO paper. You might need to let a layer dry and double it up. Not because of the paint, but because of the nature of Yupo. Cons: None? I can't really think of any cons. I am sad I have spent literally thousands of dollars before I found these. I haven't done enough research to know if I'll be able to order replacements of specific colors if I go through certain colors faster than others so, I suppose that could be a foreseeable problem if that option is not available. Hopefully, they have the option to "build your own" or customize or order colors or refills directly from the manufacturer.

Most glow in UV A little difficult to see in my photos but ALL glow except for 9, 22, and 23 Most are slightly transparent at a single layer, but still bold and colorful. These were switched on shrinky dink plastic.

First, I have to say that I LOVE the packaging for these pens! Each pen is numbered on the cap or up side and there is a color key printed on one side of the box. The company also included a small but nice instructions sheet, in color with links to different Tooli-Art website online (FB, pinterest, etc). Love, Love, Love the vibrant colors! These are the best and brightest colors I've used. Excellent coverage. The instructions also say I should receive a free rock painting eBook, but I am not sure how to access it. Also included are a few extra tips in both sizes. However, I have to say that I found the pens themselves difficult to work with. The 1st pen I opened, #1 Glowing Red fine point - when I depressed the tip to "burp" the pen it became stuck inside instead of popping back out the way they normally do. Of course this resulted in too much ink-paint being released and rather a mess. I tried removing the tip with tweezers and inserting a new tip, but the problem remains. So I must be VERY careful if I want to use the red pen because of the flooded chamber (yes, I tried cleaning it out and absorbing the extra paint with a paper towel but it just fills back up (almost as if there were no sponge beneath the tip). The fine point tips on these pens are quirky, on some of the oranges the paint seems to run outside the pen nib, and to pool and dry before reaching the tip (more so when painting on glass or rock than on paper) so that in order to draw with the tip I need to shake the paint off or scrape it from the side then spread it with the tip. The others sometimes fill with too much paint (even when not pumped) as if once breached the paint chamber never closes properly and so nearly always has too much paint. I use the fine tip pens most but I have had no difficulty with the medium point pens at all yet. The manufacturer says to contact them, and I will do so and update my review accordingly. Update: I contacted Tooli-Art and they were very helpful. The faulty pen set was replaced right away and the new pens work great. I am very pleased and impressed with this company and look forward to buying additional pen sets.

I love the jewel set. I bought the XF. I have searched high and low for a color pallet that works for my art. I use paint pens for detailing and outline my large acrylic paintings. Most colors out there tend to be too ‘primary’ I love the deep earthy colors. All the pens are opaque and draw smoothly. I should note that the skin tone/ earth tone set by this brand is also a beautiful set of pens. The glitter ones are fun but a tiny lighter than I prefer but they do give a special sparkle that will be nice to include. This brand is my favorite out of posca and Liquitex. This brand has better colors than Posca and I think they are easier to control. This brand has better usability than Liquitex and offers a much better finer tip to use for small details. 10/10✨

Great acrylic paint pens. Used to paint rocks. Work great. Florescent colors for sure

Los uso todo el tiempo para difuminar la línea negra en los cuadernos de colorear, bonitos tonos. Se secan fácilmente y hay que agitarlos frecuentemente

Muy buena calidad. Colores preciosos.

Bon feutres

Super Farben sehr leuchtintensiv. Auch Klasse dass es dazu Wechsel spitzen gibt.

I pigmenti di questo marchio sono ottimi li conoscevo, ma la confezione dei metallizzati è arrivata già aperta, e un pennarello utilizzato o provato, inoltre uno dei colori, mentre nella punta 3mm è correttamente metallizzato, nella punta 0.7 non lo è. Forse era un reso. Perchè spedirlo a qualcun'altro?
