Great All Surface Markers, Especially for the Price
I had been looking high and low for a non-toxic, water resistant, all surface marker (to specifically include metal surfaces) so I could label my spice jars. No matter what brand I came across (on Amazon, other online stores and in person stores), I couldn't get a 100% guarantee that they would work for what I wanted to use them for. I was apprehensive to try out many of the brands, as most were ranging from $15 to $30 (with some brands reaching $150 or higher), and without the security of them actually working, I wasn't ready to waste the money for "maybe". Finally, I found MISULOVE Metallic Color Pens. These came in at about $7, nine colors and all the promises that I needed for my project. Despite some of the negative reviews, I was willing to risk the $7, and Oh Happy Day! They turned out to be a good investment. Granted, for some reason, I thought that these were fine tipped (even though I clearly see the words "Medium tip" in the product description). Despite that minor set back, I began working on converting my 100+ spices containers to multi-colored metallic labels. The tips come to a point small enough to handle smaller writing (perhaps not "Fine" but small enough). This does work better on the Blue and Purple colors and less so on Gold, Bronze (Brown) and Silver. The ink, as advertised, comes right out and is ever ready for use. There is a slight bleeding effect, again, more-so in the Gold, Bronze (Brown) and Silver, but nothing that isn't manageable after you get use to the flow of the pen. As mentioned, I used the colors on metal lids as shown in my picture. I added labels to showcase each color. It was harder to capture the intensity of the colors since the lids are so shiny and were reflecting the back light and me taking the picture. I added a second aerial picture, as all the colors, in real time, are readable and pretty vibrant. They dry fairly quickly, though I didn't subject them to water until 24 hours later. The ink holds when rinsed with water, but will easily come off with sponge, some pressure and perhaps some soap if you please. They do require to be stored horizontally (but no worries, they don't leak), and it says to place the cap back on immediately after use. I follow those instructions, and have had no problems with them yet. I highly recommend these pens as an affordable, quality and versatile multi-surface pen as I have had great success with them. They all have a shimmery quality, but not overly so. I'll relate the colors to the spice so you can get a feeling as to what the colors will look like. Maldon Salt = Blue, Tarragon = Olive, Tumeric = Gold, Mint = Green, Cumin = Silver, Lemon Peel = Brown (which is more Bronze), Sumac Berries = Pink, Thai Basil = Purple, and Nigella Sativa = Black.

NOT acceptable for wedding wishing stones
So here's the thing. ON ROCKS: They are NOT quick dry, they are NOT permanent, and NOT waterproof as advertised. (As I figured, being that they are water-based but the reviews are mixed). Customer service was polite and answered promptly (It was hard to understand at first but I believe they were recommending I just request a refund and return the markers as per the 100% satisfaction guarantee).HOWEVER. I am keeping them because 1: I don't want the hassle of returning. 2- They are smooth, nice colors, good value for the money. 3- I might be able to use them on rocks with the kids over the summer if they hold up to clear sealant spray. They just will not work for what I intended, writing on wishing stones for my wedding. EDIT: I would like to add, that the customer service was great. They were committed to making sure I was happy and actually refunded my purchase, which I was not expecting. I requested that they update their product description to address the fact that on SOME materials, they are quick dry, permanent, etc. I hope this helps future customers!

Extremely smooth flow, vibrant opaque color, and no need to shake or “prime” prior to use.
I recently took up rock painting as a hobby. Not knowing which of the “paint pens” might be best for the purpose, I bought a general selection of different brands with different sized tips. Of all of them, none were more free-flowing, requiring very little pressure to apply a substantial line, be it short or long, than the MISULOVE set. I bought the medium tip version. I am going to look, and if indeed there are either other tip widths available, I’m going to buy whatever is available. I cannot attest to their longevity, but even without having ascertained their usage life, feel that the MISULOVE brand is superior by virtue of the fact that, unlike most paint pens, they do not require shaking or repeated pressing to saturate the tip. Highly recommend!

Thick AF! Not for writing anything formal.
I’m not complaining or removing my stars because most reviews also say that the markers are thick but I don’t know why I thought I would be special (lol). These markers are beautiful, they’re smooth and sparkly and have gorgeous colors!But, I have no idea what I’ll use these for because I had initially gotten them to write my birthday/wedding/happy birthday cards but they’re way too thick to write anything.I suppose I’ll use them to write on boxes? Or to color? Not sure... they’re pretty but not for writing anything formal! If you’re looking for a thick marker though, this ones for you!

Decent but flawed.
Not bad! Pretty smooth, nice coloring... recommend? Depends what you want them for. Careful if looking for specific colors or to use on anything not smoothOnly 3 stars because tops do fray a bit if used on papaer so id imagine wood would more. And the colors are mislabeled!! First the gold and the brown are pretty hard to tell apart, the pink cap is actually red. And the black is a darker gray/silver. Probably wouldnt buy again.

They’re okay
They work, just not as well as I had hoped. Maybe it’s because I’m trying to use them in resin but they still work great on other surfaces! Good quality for the price, and made for good practice!

Great metallic shine!
Love the metallic shine. Only problem i've run into is the cap color is not always the color of the ink. Try it on a sample piece first to make sure its the color you want. They dry nice and keep the shine. I really like these.

Not too bad.
I brought these for a mini scrapbook project. When I was done decided to use them and doodle on shoes(vans)... id purchase again.
