Shuttle Art 360 Pack Gel Pens Set, 180 Colors Gel Pen Set Plus 180 Color Refills Perfect for Adult Coloring Books Doodling Drawing Art Markers

Given some of the negative reviews posted here, I was hesitant at first to buy these. I'm so glad I did order these! I just got my package yesterday. Upon arrival I was nervous to open it. Will I find broken pens, ink spewed all about, missing pens?? Not. One. Problem!! Whew! Okay one hurdle down...now how will they write?? Goop up, scratch up, dry up?? Once again: Not one problem!! Well, not exactly.... There were a few pens that needed a little "push" to get the ink flowing, but you'd be stiff too packed up that long! There was one pen that needed more encouragement, refusing to show it's true color. Time for the bic lighter!Here is a life hack: If you have a really stubborn pen that refuses to write, take a lighter and pass just the tip of the pen into the flame for a few seconds. Be very CAREFUL you only expose the tip or you might get a melted pen! After a few seconds your pen should be able to write. If not, trash can time. I learned this trick many decades ago from my father who was a mechanical engineer/draftsman.After I exposed that one stubborn pen, it started working just fine. Guess I told it who's boss. Hehehe.Seriously, the Shuttle Art 360 Gel Pens are great pens. They write/draw smoothly with little scratching. There are tons of colors!! Some I've never seen in a gel pens assortment! Granted, more than half (100) are glitter it still does not detract from this set. The glitter is not overpowering like some sets where just a glance of your finger on the page gets you covered in glitter from head to toe. The metallic inks dry nicely without that weird shein on top, showing true color.One thing you really need to do is MAKE A COLOR CHART! The caps can be very deceiving. I came across a few pens that had light colored caps, but the ink was very dark inside the cartridge, yet the actual color was somewhere in between.The trays are numbered on the side with a sticker that will also correspond to the number on the refill packages. There is only 20 pens per tray so matching up the refills should not be difficult. I'm going just a little further in marking my pens with labels to ID tray number with color chart number. (Yes, I have OCD)All in all, Shuttle Art Pens are a good bang for the buck!

When at Thanksgiving the family used a coloring book table cloth. Three generations were coloring on the table, together laughing before and after the table was cleared. But most importantly the markers worked just great, and work on plastic. They're affordable and the range of colors is great for the whole family to use for artistic fun. Um the fact that they work on plastic should be a warning.

SO GOOD AND SO MANY OPTIONS! Darker colors show more sparkles and ink but super good and comes with refills of ink runs out. Dries super quickly. Recommend to color!

Love the glitter colors! I bought these hoping that they were glitter only but found that there are soo many non glitter ones included. Apart from that though they are good value and I love the fact that there are refills included when they run dry. Recommend them but they are not all glitter.

Shuttle Art products have NOT LET ME DOWN!THESE PENS CAME NICELY PACKAGED!SOOOO MANY COLORS WITH REFILLS!I WILL CONTINUE TO PURCHASE SHUTTLE ART PRODUCTS!

I recently purchased Shuttle Art 160 Pack Glitter Gel Pen Set for a few reason. I discovered the awesomeness of adult coloring about a year ago. I am a disabled homebound late 50's woman who has discovered that glitter gel pens make me feel like a little girl in a sparkly princess dress and an even sparklier tiara with a case of the giggles. Needless to say I am addicted to glitter gel pens and I am now turning my friends on to them too. I am also on the hunt for the 'greatest' glitter gel pen set available from Amazon. So what do I think about Shuttle Art 160 Glitter Gel Pen Set? PRO'S: 1) 80 different colors. And they are all different. There are some that are close; but still different. 2) I gotta have the soft rubber grip on the barrels because of arthritis and these pens have 'em. 3) In my opinion there are several colors in this set that I have not seen before. I have looked through 6 (!) different sets of glitter gel pens from Gelly Roll Sakura, Aen Art, and, Soucolor to name a few, and these colors seem to be unique to Shuttle Art 160 Glitter Gel Pen Set. 4) Each and every one of them works. I had to scribble for a couple of seconds to get a few of them going smoothly but that's the case with most sets of gel pens I have used. 5) A refill for each pen. However that's also a con because neither the pen barrels nor the refill tubes are marked in any way.CON'S 1) I think that advertising this as 160 Glitter Gel Pens is a bit deceiving. It's actually 80 glitter gel pens and 80 refills. Not 160 glitter gel PENS. 2) The refills are not physically individually marked in any way and neither are the pens. The 80 pens are on 4 separate plastic trays which hold 20 pens each. The plastic trays each have a 1-4 sticker on them and the refills are 4 separate plastic zipper bags numbered 1-4 with 20 refills per bag. These bags correspond to the trays. I am certain that there's a system or reason why they are sorted like they are. The plastic trays may work for some folks storage but I prefer mine in holders and sorted by color groups. If I sort them my way the refills are going to need to be sorted and marked and that's a time consuming project. THE BOTTOM LINE- For the price it's a good deal even if you don't/can't use the refills. The pens are glittery and fairly smooth and juicy with some unique colors. I will certainly consider Shuttle Art 160 Pack Glitter Gel Pens as a gift for the next friend that I introduce to adult coloring with glitter gel pens.

This is my first time to review a product and I am sad to say I was disappointed in this product. Pens seem to be flimsy with some ink flowing well and others seem to be dried out already. At least one pen in the package was leaking making a nice mess of everything. There is a vast number of colors but they are neither named nor numbered for identification and the color of the caps do not match the ink color.
