Review on πŸ–οΈ Tanmit 100 Coloring Gel Pens Set: Vibrant Colors for Adult Coloring Books - Glitter, Neon, Standard, Symphony, Milky & Metallic Pens by Doris Tran

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Honest review.

I ordered them on Friday. I was glad they came here and was pleasantly surprised when they arrived 3 days early (Saturday instead of Monday). Without testing them first, I went to my "drawing table" to continue working on the drawing of the BMW 3.0 CSL (I bought pencils for detailing). As someone trying to draw realistic pictures, you can imagine my surprise and horror when glitter appeared in the ink (the pen I used was from the supposedly "glitter-free" department, I don't understand why it was labeled that way because they all had glitter (I didn't include the glitter factor in my review because it was my own silly mistake not knowing gel pens have glitter in them) When I took a closer look at the grips and the packaging I noticed how poor the quality was.The folds of the pencil case were attached with velcro "dots" one of which was peeling off on one side and stuck on the other.To make matters worse the 6 pencils were a motley assortment of things Colors. For example, one of the pens had a blue cap, but the inner ink was pink and brown mixed with blue. This made for a disgusting mix when using the S pens. Many of the pens were a bit dry while others had to be moved back and forth across the paper to start drawing. If you try to create multiple layers of the same color, the paper will tear. And heaven help you if you've tried smudging gel ink with a water-based marker. The glitter would land on the tip of the marker, leaving that sparkle on whatever paper you colored with the "dirty" marker (luckily it rubbed off). On the other hand, the colors that worked were brilliant when you used them for coloring books (that's the only reason I gave the pens 2 stars instead of 1). To be honest, I can't think of anything positive. I sent them back as soon as possible. Very dissatisfied. I wouldn't recommend these special markers or the Tanmit to my worst enemies. (In the attached picture of the car tires, the rear is the one I tried to salvage with white paint and markings. Note the difference in the tires.)

Pros
