Quick Test of Ooly Glitter Gel Pens

Ooly Glitter Gel Pen Quick Test

I really enjoy using these gel pens. While I’m picky about my gel pens, I don’t have an exclusive relationship with any of them. Gelly Rolls were my first love, and I still use them for journaling and illustration. Gelly Rolls are great for laying down a lot of ink (with little to no opacity), but that’s also the reason I have trouble trying to write with them. My letters start to look blobby.

Ooly gel pens are great for writing because they don’t lay down so much ink, meaning my handwriting looks neater. And! They write immediately. Gelly Rolls often need to be shaken or coerced or bribed for the ink to start flowing. They’re divas.

The short version is this: if you want colorful gel pens mainly for writing, I recommend the Ooly Glitter pens!

Pros:

  • Retractable

  • Great color palette

  • Glitter!

  • Rubber grips

  • Ink flows well

Cons:

  • The ink blobs occasionally

  • The ball point tip leaves “creases” in the ink

If you want to purchase them, I present my affiliate link for your consideration. :)
