uni Posca Paint Marker Extra Fine (0.7mm) SPECIAL SET!! - WHITE/GOLD/SILVER/BLACK, Wasabi Sticky note

Smooth and not transparent. Does not run. Not thin paint.

Glad I finally decided to try these. They all came in a small plastic package and were all individually wrapped in plastic as well, even the sticky notes. You simply twist the cap to break the plastic around the pens. The nib is white once you open and all it takes to activate the pens is a good shake and a little bit of pumping. I didn't run into any problems until I got to the gold. When I went to pump it after shaking a decent sized blob of paint flew right out of the pen. I did shake the gold pen a bit harder than the others, don't really know if that had anything do with it, but I just wiped off the nib and everything was A-ok. They write very nicely and are very opaque. I would definitely buy these again and have already ordered other colours as well.

I use to paint with a brush but since I got these paint pens, I rarely use a brush except for a base coat. These pens are easy to use. No smell and they dry quick. Shake the pen like you would a spray can. Press down hard on a scrap paper to get the paint in the tip. You might have to press down a couple of times. When you see the tip of the pen turn color its ready. When you paint with the pen do not press hard or the paint will leave spots on your art work. Nothing to clean up, Store the pens laying horizontally. Do not store them standing up!

I had tried a few brands of pens to get some white highlights and so many were a fail. I looked it up and these were highly recommended. I read a few reviews that said they came dry so I tested them out right when I got them. I was disappointed because I kept trying the white and nothing was coming out. I tried and tried and tried and right when I was about to give up, BOOM the brightest white I have ever seen a white pen make came out. I don't know if mine had been sitting for quite a while and that's why it took so long to saturate the tip but it did take a while for the ink to come through. I had one in the back not work very well but the other colors seem to be working fine.
