Shuttle Art 120 Unique Colors (No Duplicates) Gel Pens Gel Pen Set for Adult Coloring Books Art Markers

These gel pens have a nice flow and the color range is amazing. The plastic barrels are nothing to boast on but nice to have are color indicator caps. There are 120 pens, arranged in 4 different clear cases with 30 pens each. One set is all glitter, one is standard colors, then a pastel set, and a mosh mosh set that also includes tie dyed pens. In general, these are just as good as your standard gel pens but not as nice and smooth as a gelly roll. Opened up the packs to give out as valentines classroom gifts, and softball goodie bags. Pricing makes it perfect option for this.Priced $19 (listed $20 with 5% coupon) at time of order and review. There’s 120 pens, so that’s less than $0.16 per pen. If you want to split by the way it’s packaged, there’s 4 packs of 30 pens each, so $4.75 for the 30 pens.Review of Shuttle Art 120 Unique Colors (No Duplicates) Gel Pens Gel Pen Set for Adult Coloring Books Art Markers

If you love a good needle point gel pen, look no more! ShuttleArt has done it again! These pens write so smooth and creamy it’s hard to look at any other needle point pen. The vibrant colors really pop on the black swatch sheet and the white swatch sheet just really compliments the colors. Really worth the price. Won’t be going back to a regular pen again! Thanks ShuttleArt!!

I'm a relative newcomer to gel pens. I've been using colored pencils for so long to draw and, in recent years, color in adult coloring books, but I've come back to mandalas and it's been recommended that I try gel pens for those. Since Shuttle makes such wonderful professional colored pencils (I really can't say enough good things about their pencils), I decided this would be a good place to start.In terms of dealing with the seller, I once again had a seamless experience. The pens arrived, in perfect condition, on time (2 days). The packaging is great, with the pens in order by shade and type (pastel, glitter, metallic, etc), in 4 separate packets, held together with a stretchy cord - I don't know what else to call it - making them easy to store and keep together.Other reviews complain about difficulty starting ink flow; I didn't have that problem with any of these pens. I though I did with the white one, then I realized that I just wasn't seeing the ink on the scrap paper, the paper being white and all. I noticed it when I saw the ink smeared all over my hand. Lol? The ink flows quickly, almost too quickly for a noob like myself so I would suggest that if you're not used to gel pens you practice a little on a piece of paper until you get the hang of it. Also, I find that blotting the tip on a piece of scrap helps me control the flow. But again, I'm brand new to the medium so other, more experienced users may not have the same issue.The colors are vibrant and clear, and I haven't had any issue with them bleeding through good quality paper in a coloring book I'm using them in, nor on 160 lb card stock and heavy sketch pad paper. I would imagine they would work well on watercolor pads as well, although I can see them being streaky on that kind of paper. I haven't had any issue with streaking on the aforementioned papers, though. I read a review that stated that the colors dry to a different shade than the one that comes out of the pen; I haven't found that to necessarily be true. Ink always comes out a slightly darker shade and dries somewhat lighter, in my experience. That's also true of most paint. These pens don't dry noticeably lighter, although I haven't put down a super heavy amount of ink that would be that much darker when wet so that might be why I haven't noticed that issue. I have no idea if they blend or layer because, again, I'm a complete novice with this medium and I haven't tried to do anything other than get the ink on the paper, but they do that very well.As far as the colors, I would be happier with some darker shades, but the shades that came are exactly the ones that are advertised. I'm not too sure what the purpose is with the swirl pens; only one color comes out at a time, and I would imagine that if it DID mix, it would be kind of muddy. As it stands, the colors that come out are pretty.The pens themselves are well made. I haven't had a problem with any kind of breakage or caps falling apart. The packaging is sturdy and the pens are well made. I have no complaints whatsoever about the construction and packaging. The only thing I can see being an issue is that the ink flows so quickly that the pens will probably run out relatively fast. However, the price point makes it feasible for me to replace the set if that does happen. Not sure if that would be a problem for others, though, so I thought I should make mention.Overall, very pleased with this purchase. Again, kudos to the Shuttle Art Store.

I love the variety in the shades of these pens. The colors are vibrant and beautiful. The pens hold up pretty well. I love the glitter ones and they are comparable to Gelly Roll Stardust. The ink flows smoothly on the paper so you don't have to press hard. However they are a bit too gloppy for thin paper and tear it a bit. That's when the pen is working properly. I have had several pens stop working for me while coloring. I've had a couple that just wont flow at all. This is why I took a star, as it's very frustrating.

great value for these. love them. lots of fun projects. they are smooth and great colors.

I bought these for my daughter but I ended up using them more than she does there is so many shades of color and glitter ones alson

Absolutely LOVE the color assortment. Also love that they're separately packaged into 4 packs inside the box. The pigment & flow of ink are perfect & what you'd expect for higher priced pens. Will definitely buy again when needed!
