Professional artist Review
General opinion: I love all these colors from their hues to their effects! I'm a freelance artist and use gel pens to spice up my art. Having 120 colors in different tones and styles are helpful for my trade, however, one of my markers doesn't work at all (the 79) and the pastel markers 31 - 45 --which are my favorites-- require me to hack away at the paper before the ink starts rolling. As another reviewer mentioned some of the colors roll onto the paper effortlessly (I provided a color chart for reference) yet some others really prefer to hide away inside the pen. What gives? This is why I couldn't give these pens a 5 star rating: one pen refuses to work even after hard dry scratching, but the colors are vibrant and truly unique as described.
Cons of the set:
1) I think the rainbow colors are unnecessary. As I've shown in the color chart 74, 75 and 76 are rainbow pens yet the colors are stacked in tiers which one has to finish one color before getting to the other. I can't yet tell what makes these 3 colors different than the other 100 colors because I can't reach them; to me that's impractical. I wish the makers of the pens could have added more colors and omit these three pens because other than looking fun, I'm not looking forward to using these.
2) Not all the colors work.
3) The pastel colors need effort to release ink.
Pros of the set:
1) It has a practical carrying case with organized labeling (Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4) easy storage, and carrying.
2) Many vibrant and unique color options.
3) The metallic, glitter and pastel colors live up to their title (the glitter and pastel are my favorites!)
4) It's affordable in comparison to Gelly Roll pens with more colors. I cannot stress the color options enough! I've owned more than 5 brands of gel pen includng Gelly Roll and even if Gelly Roll has their own level of quality ink, they don't have the colors I want in metallic, pastel and glitter. The unique colors (65 - 73 in my chart) are sharpie quality vibrant. I've never seen this in any gel pen set yet.
This set is worth every cent you'll spend on it. I may have gotten unlucky with the one marker, but this many color options in many ink types made me a happy artist.
