What i wanted worked fine

I love these pens and am now on my second box which ripped when I opened it. The design is wrong -- it should open on the narrow end. There is a big oval cut out of the side which doesn't show anything useful and weakens the structure. When you open the top only the first pen is visible, so you need to take all of the pens out to see the selection. You can stack them sideways, but the opening is wide, so they tend to fall over or roll out. The perfect design would be to have a pull back flap exposing the ends that also acted as an easel. Back to the pens. The pigment is nice and thick and covers well. Excellent for spot touch up on metallic items and useful in many crafts. Now that I've finished that rant, I'll see if I can cludge together a proper holder from the two boxes.

I bought both the Bullet and the Brush sets of the pens and all are lovely pens to use, smooth on card and paper. All of the pens can be seen well on black paper. They stand out well, are bright and shimmery.They do not bleed or ghost through 135GSM Black paper.On white, lined 70GSM paper, there is no bleed, but a very slight ghost on to the back of the page - which is better even than I was expecting. They don’t soak into the paper / through it which I am very happy about as even some well known and “decent” branded highlighters I use to colour-code, do.If using for writing, they are smooth and pleasant to use, however if your writing is small or scripted then I have found you do lose some definition in your letters/words - more so with the brush tip, slightly with the bullet tip (see picture).In the picture I’ve posted you can see the difference between the bullet tip and the brush tip nibs.One of the pen lids in the brush tip set closes, but does not “click” shut as the rest do (silver), so I am expecting that pen to possibly dry out first as it’s not as airtight of a close as the rest of them.I haven't had them long, so as of yet I cannot really comment on if they dry out quickly or not, or how long that it may be before they do. I cannot comment on how the nib holds up on different surfaces such as stones etc as I only intend to use them on card or paper.For my intended purpose, I think they are good value and I will definitely use them, mostly for headers / titles or decoration; I am still on the hunt for finer tip metallic pens to write more clearly (for more lengthier writings) within my journal - given my writing is so small and I lose some of the definition and detail in my words. These are marker pens though and so I guess that is to be expected, it is not that there is anything wrong with the pens it is just a “heads up” for anyone wanting to buy them with the intention of writing with smaller, or small scripted handwriting.Overall, I am very pleased with the product and I would definitely recommend.

Good coverage. Lovely pens.

Very nice small metalic pens, smaller than average pens, so ideal for pencil cases with limited space . These pens are medium type bullet nib. Lovely free flowing pens on white paper or card . They seem good quality , would say these are not waterproof and wash off hands easily with soap and water . Absolutely stunning on white paper but on black paper it's effect looks more like crayon , which is nice , would not reccomend for other materials . Did not leak . Quick delivery and packaged as shown in the pictures and effects show on white paper and coloured card. I can not comment on longevity as they only arrived today but lovely colours , not idea for polymer clay . Thank you .

I originally purchased a pack of these for myself as I am a keen crafter but my daughter needed these kind of pens for an art project. She had been intent on purchasing a more expensive brand but when she saw the peice I decorated she asked to borrow my pens.I gave them to her and later purchased another pack.I have not scored them on longevity as neither myself nor my daughter use these often. I can say I've not noticed any issue with them drying out but I can't rate them on prolonged use as that's not happened.They look particularly effective on a black background as you would expect and they have a smooth ink flow with a more pastel look than many similar products and a pleasing selection of bronze, rainbow and gold shades. I've used them on both paper and card with equally satisfactory results.I attach one of my doodles produced using a combination of these pens and metallic fineliners

The pens are lovely and give great effect but they smudge so easily so you have to be super careful when using them.

Bought for a project I was on I wanted to buy metallic pens that wouldn't run out as I was working on black pages. These definitely did the job. Used every single one of them throughout and they still have a lot of ink left in them. I have not had any problems with them drying out but I would say dont forget to properly shut the lids as it is a bit hard. the pens are easy to use, I have small hands though so that isn't that hard. overall would 100% recommend
