SAKURAGelly Roll Metallic Gel Pens - Pens for Scrapbook, Journals or Drawing - Art Gifts, DIY Projects - Colored Metallic Ink - Medium Line - 10 Pack

I love stationery and unique pens to make everything I write look more fun, and these metallic gel pens definitely fit the bill. They add a great pop of color and texture and last a long time, even with frequent use. The only thing to keep in mind is that they need a few minutes to dry after use, or they may smear. Other than that, no complaints

I love these pens !! They go over my watercolors so nicely. So far, so good. I will let ya know if things change. I do notice how fast they go down, but then again, they come out well and thicker than average pens.

I love the smooth quality of these pens to write with, and use for details and coloring books. The ink flows smoothly I've had no blobbing they add instant highlights. They're functional for just writing with or making accents or shadows of other writing. It's a good quality for the money and I love them

As a 90's kid, using gel pens again as an adult definitely brought me some nostalgia I didn't know I needed! Using them on my daughters baby book so it's pretty and colorful. They're shiny, beautiful color, and just as fun a I remembered.

The Gelly Roll pens were THE gel pens back in the late 90s which these one specifically take me back to (have had some other gelly roll sakura pens and the ink flow was not/is not great) but these are archival quality and they all flow fantastic for glitter pens, writing with them feels nice and the ink is consistent.Happy to have a quality set again wish they were refillable or weren't completely made of plastic housing but that is more just from a design/longevity and minimizing exposure to harmful plastics and the amount of waste products like this end up.

I saw an artist using these pens on YouTube and was curious for myself. So I ordered them and their cost was about $14 with the tax. They arrived same day, which was great. They are gel pens so they write like smoothly (though I still am going to stick with my roller ball for regular handwriting). As far as art, they seem like they are very nice for an accent, but I wouldn’t use them as my primary tool. I did make a doodle page in my journal last night, however, to try them out.I really like the way the blue and the aqua colors look; I think they may be my favorite. The one with the yellow cap (051) is a metallic gold, rather than yellow, and this set comes with two of that color. Which makes sense because I tend to use metallic gold a lot in artwork; it makes a very nice accent.I seem to recall one reviewer commenting about air bubbles in the ink, though to be fair it may have been another pen. (I look at so many reviews on Amazon! Lol literally reading reviews tends to be almost a hobby and wish I could comment on many of the reviews like Reddit!) anyway, I bring that up because I did notice sometimes while I was filling in some spaces that the color would stop maybe with a small air bubble. It wasn’t significant, but I’ve only had these pens for one day, so who knows. But then again, they’re not super expensive.Although these pens are plastic, the barrel is somewhat tapered, which gives it a slightly richer feel. I like the way they feel in my hand, which is important if you’re going to be using a pen for a decent length of time. They remind me of pens I used to find at the stationery store when I was a little girl in the 1980s. They have a Hello Kitty vibe to them. Lol.I noticed that they do not color that well on top of each other. As you can see from my doodle page, I tried to use the silver one on top of a few other colors. My idea was to make a scribble in the purple and tawny colors, then draw silver lightning bolts over it. But the silver lightning bolts would not work because the increase to transparent. It also did not seem to set on top as nicely. So I will be going back to my acrylic markers for that sort of thing. I also tried them out in a spot over acrylic paint markers. I wanted to see if they would show up. They did in some parts just adding a slight sparkle. More like a metallic sheen.The point is not thin enough for my every day writing, as I prefer a fine point, but they will make nice headers in my bullet journal. I also may use them for proofreading documents at work. They could add a little pizzazz.I’m not giving them five stars because I’m not blown away by them. Could I live without them? Yes.Do I regret paying $14 for them? No.Am I going to use them moving forward? Yes.Am I going to enjoy using them? I hope so. That’s the plan.If you have a bullet journal or another journal that you like to be artsy just make it look pretty, I think you will like these pens. If you are an artist, looking for something to give your canvases pizzazz, you may have better luck with metallic acrylic markers that are opaque.Regardless, I like these pens, and they are cute. They feel nice in my hand, and the colors are fun.

Great colors, easy to use, great coverage!

love these pens! very nice … great for art , doodles , adult coloring or writing
