Review on ✨ Water-Based Shimmer Marker Set - 12 Color Glitter Markers by Tomorotec Art by Sasha Hsiao

These pens were not what I was looking for in a shiny pen; the colors were mostly neon and bright, the red was a deep pink and far from red, the "shine" was shimmery at best. Some colors shimmered better than others - gold and silver are lovely. Blue, purple, green, brown were ok; Pink (including "red"), yellow, and orange were rarely shown. The color was very opaque, so applying it to a different color made little or no difference in color or intensity; However, they were thinner than other drawing pencils I've used, so they bled and bled more and took a little time to dry. I've tried them on different surfaces (printer paper, stone, metal). They just didn't give me the results I was looking for. Having real red is very important and the red in this set was too far from deep pink to be considered red. Colors closer to the base color are also required unless you have purchased a set specifically labeled "Neon Color". Overlaying the main color of the same name gave a dull, fuzzy color and a questionable shimmer. They were just too liquid on the other hand. These aren't terrible crayons at all. For non-professional use, they're probably fine. They just weren't what I needed for my project. I will keep looking because they exist.
