Are These the Best Gel Pens Ever?

So I recently came across what could end up being the best gel pens for coloring-the Pentel Sparkle Pop metallic gel pens. I had previously tried, and loved, their Milky Pop gel pens but was completely surprised at just how much I would love the Sparkle Pops. They really are my new favorite gel pens!
Watch my gel pen review to see why I love these so much. I had such a fun time swatching, doodling and coloring with these in my favorite sketchbook-Sketch Bliss. The Sparkle Pops are so much fun because the color changes based on whether you're coloring on white or black. And not only are they one of the best metallic gel pens on the market, they also have glitter in them as well so the colors just shine.
I would highly recommend picking up a set and color with them in your coloring books or on your favorite coloring pages. And be sure to watch for more of my reviews coming up of the Pentel Solar and Milky Pop gel pens, as well as the Sakura Gelly Roll Glaze and Soufflé.

I love how you share excitement about pens.

[@bjpreusser]

Only have a few Gelly Rolls, but these look even better!

[@HangingSpark120]

I love your energy so much! Your enthusiasm for gel pens is beautiful! And this video was wicked helpful. Thank you so much for being here! 😘 Love and Light to you!

[@sososick1135]

I agree these are awesome pens i have had them for awhile now i got mine at my local office supply store months ago but then hobby lobby just had a bunch on clearance so everyone was buying em all up!

[@MrsNess67]

Hi Jennifer I finely got my pens thank you so much

[@CraftKrazy]

Love the Pentel! I have some coming from Amazon and can’t wait! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us! ❤️

[@ColoringBliss]

I hope you love them!

[@leslieaEdgar]

I have the glitter pops and love adding highlights to my colored pencil pages!

[@robbic1862]

These are totally waiting in my Amazon cart now! I've been eyeing them for a while and you convinced me that I "need" them :) HAHA Thanks Jen for being such an enabler ;)

[@ColoringBliss]

Yes! You NEED them 😂

[@Praxidike100]

I think these are the same pens that were in the March Scrawlr Box, but they called them something else. That black is extra neat.

[@garrysamuels3420]

I couldn't wait for you to write with that purple one, lol. I just know you stretched that out, lol. Great review as always.

[@debk5944]

I'm a new subscriber to your channel. Looking forward to watching your other videos. I don't have a favorite Gel pen yet. I'm still learning about coloring with them. Those Sparkle Pop pens look awesome. Gonna have to get some of them to try.

[@ColoringBliss]

Welcome! I am excited for you to find your favorite gel pen 🌟❤️

[@allisonherndon6897]

Thanks for the review. I'm going to add the Pentel Sparkle Pop pens (and maybe the others) to my wishlist. If you haven't previously reviewed them, I'd love to see what you think of the Luna Jayne Glitter Gel Pens. I think they're incredibly sparkly.

[@fludrbywest3886]

They are gorgeous❣️❣️

[@cateyes3813]

Hi! Do you know of a way to make a gel pen, eg pastel blue, go more fluro/neon/brighter/more vivid? Without darkening it? Cos I do have a few neon blues but they’re quite ocean colour at the very lightest? Would adding white gel pen and blending it help? I have a tip that I do that you probably already know anyway and may not be that useful but here it is: with gel pens that can be a bit constipated/scratchy, I put them in you know those cubes with holes in the top for putting the current pens you’re working with handy and all in one place? I put the uncooperative gel pen in upside down (on its nib/tip) for about 5-10 minutes before I use it and I notice the ink moves down a lot and has a way better ink flow after doing that. Just don’t forget and leave them upside down all night cos some of them will have all the ink run out out of the pen and there’s a big pool of ink in the bottom of the cube and inside the pen tip. A lot don’t do that but some have when I’ve put them in a vertical container upside down. But yes, is there any trick you can use to make a normal colour more vivid/fluro/bright by blending with another colour of pen or... having a base of a different colour or... anything you’ve come across? Luv from Australia 🇦🇺

[@brandyf1985]

I LUUUUV SPARKLE POP PENS!!😍😍

[@lockettodd6639]

What pretty and fun pens to use! And yes, they do indeed seem to be "so satisfying!" lol

[@ColoringBliss]

lol...I had no idea I was saying that word so much until we were editing. I think “satisfying” defines how I feel about gel pens in general. 😊

[@knittedkat]

You had to say box collection 😮....so when I looked on Amazon did you notice it said (POPBOX1)....more to follow??? #coloringaddicted #satisfying

[@karenkasulke2294]

I reacted the same way! I felt like I was falling in love! ❤️😁

[@theresastone2911]

My husband says “more?” I say yup he just walks away shaking his head . Oh well. Sigh.

[@naps_]

As soon as you started naming the collections i had to subscribe. Your desk is honestly my life goal

[@LisasColoringCorner]

Omg those pens look incredible!! I color with gel pens about 90 percent of the time.

[@jojosaylor8996]

Love love love

[@godzandheros]

Have you tried the Atyou Spica sparkle pens?

[@CLAldridgeArt]

I am not even in the market for Gel Pens and you've made it so I MUST HAVE THESE.. LOL!!! Thank you so much for your wonderful real time demonstration of what they can do! Off to Amazon I go :-D

[@ColoringBliss]

Have fun shopping 💜

[@juliem4259]

Helped my 19 yr old baby boy cross the Rainbow Bridge today. This video was a God-send for me...….Your reactions were made of happy. Thanks, Jennifer. Love your vids. Kiss little Rosie for me.

[@knittedkat]

Oh yes want an video about your pen bag.... Let us know what you like about & wish what it had... So I can order some more stuff .🤑🤑😆 thanks 😘💕💕

[@LindaCrowder10021950]

Amazon has a deal to get all of these in. Collectors box. Do you have an affiliate link to this? Pentel POP Gel Pen Series Collector's Edition (POPBOX1) by Pentel

[@vickidavis4207]

What a fun happy video!

[@cardsaremycanvas9065]

New subbie! Fantastic review I’m running now to get these and the milky pops

[@cindyhutchinson5596]

I'm going to have to try them after watching your video! 🌟🐾🐾 Our boys say hi to Rosie they think that she's sure a cutie as they are! Tanmit and Aen have all glitter pen sets which I love!! Jennifer please let me know how anyone can win this set of pens that you're going to give away? Thank you!! I love how excited you get when you're coloring!! 😊🐾🌟🎉 Say hi to your husband, Steve. He seems as though he's like my husband (patient, helpful, caring)!!

[@hikikomoriarty]

I've discovered that the *Pentel Sparkle Pop Gel Pens* are the exact same thing as the *Pentel Hybrid Dual Metallic Gel Pens* . It depends on what country you're in.

[@LiquidyTea]

I'm in the EU and I've seen similar pens to those. They are also made by Pentel but they look different and they're called Dual Metallic. I wonder if it's the same thing, just marketed differently.

[@leenalhassawi6330]

Did you review the zebra doodlerz at all? I'm wondering if they are any good!

[@kimoconnor8182]

I love gel pens and I want to give these a try. Love it.

[@carolpearce7755]

I am confused as to why the colors are very different from what they say they are. i.e., black looks red, pink looks magenta.

[@tmac827]

Yes I love these and always use Pentel pens... what store did U buy them from?

[@ceciliasart502]

I have wasted a lot of money on pens looking for something nice. I should have been watching your channel! Love the pens.

[@ColoringBliss]

Glad I can help guide you. I have several more reviews on just gel pens coming very soon. 😊😊

[@CarolReidCA]

That's SO true! In the old days, you had to go by word of mouth. This channel is VERY helpful in saving money by being able to see what pens do what you want them to do before buying them! This may be why we're seeing the quality of especially kids' art products getting far better, but across the board, products generally getting better. Buying the "least expensive" products often leads to spending far more & wasting time being frustrated. These new Sparkle Pop Glitter Pens look incredible! I like working on black with metallics and these look like they may take the spot as my new favorites! They're on my wish list!!!

[@aliceadler4569]

My favorite gel pens have always been the Gelly Roll pens but I just ordered all of the collections using your link!!!

[@ColoringBliss]

I still love my Gelly Rolls...but Sakura has serious competition from Pentel now!

[@aliceadler4569]

Coloring Bliss ❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️ Looking forward to getting my sets!!!

[@CarolReidCA]

Coloring Bliss Gelli Rills have been my favorite for ballpoint style gel pens. Do you recommend any particular paper? Thanks!

[@aliceadler4569]

Carol Reid Jennifer and Steve have videos devoted to the correct and their favorite types of paper to use for different types of media. They also sell sketch books and coloring books from their website that are absolutely amazing!!!!!

[@MagicalMusic34]

That’s not a black ink, that’s Maroon - on both sides. Very pretty, though! 😍

[@bevp7838]

I am in trouble now!!!! I have had some Pentel gel pens that I really liked but haven't seen these until now. WOW!

[@mardiejurgens5746]

My favorite gel pen is Thorton's. Love your video!!

[@andreacotton944]

hello this revew has been so helpful thank you so much your chanel Ax

[@VV-nn5dy]

If starting as Collection would you say the sakura roll gift set (75pens) is a good starting point? Let me know why or why not! Thanks🤔😁😁🥰

[@TheTerrylwg]

Yes! Love that pen bag! Please show us where to get one!

[@goldandrain]

I can hardly wait to get some.

[@lesaseigler5365]

Wow, pretty!! I didn't know about these different pop pens. Pentel has always been my favorite writing pen, I am excited to try these pop pens! TFS

[@nancivessells1909]

Great video. For to get those pens

[@RealMelodyBlue]

Gelly Rolls have tiny grains of glass instead of glitter

[@maryannp565]

Yes, actually I would like 2 know more about that Marker Bag. Earlier 2day, I was looking 4 "something" that might fit both my makers as well as my pencils.

[@Psychett03]

These Pentel pens are amazing! I think I have found my new favorite gel pens. I have been a Gelly Roll pen fan, but the Pentel pens will be definitely my new "go to" gel pens now! TFS

[@artistjanbeasley4264]

Thank you Jennifer, these pens are amazing!! I really appreciate all your wonderful videos🌹❤️

[@24get24give]

I love the spectrum noir sparkle pens and the wink of stellar (glittery) or wink of luna (metallic)

[@daryllynn5406]

I love that Pentel gel pens are thicker than some get pens and are easier to hold when my hands act up!

[@brib2831]

I love love love these pens...I wish they'd make a set of sparkle pens with a larger color selection even if it was just the basic colors. I love how the sparkle is actually colored itself and not just silver mixed in a colored ink. Have you found anything comparable to the sparkle pops/dual hybrids?

[@pattscollectons1234]

Wow I love your swatch book idea. I'm gonna start doing one for my mediums. Thank you.

[@tammyrooker1872]

Where did you get the storage travel bag? I can't wait to get a set of these gel pens.

[@daryllynn5406]

its ok, I give you permission to take gelpens and colored pencils to the desert island!

[@martiadams1534]

a simple emory board will cure that sharp edge. love your channel

[@cupocoffee32]

I have these and love em

[@joanbell9342]

Love when you get excited over coloring!❤️💞

[@Sheepyeepy]

Amazing video, keep up the good work! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ColoringBliss]

Thanks 😊

[@bobbichamberlain718]

Oh my gosh. I bought those pens and had know idea that they changed color on black paper. I guess that is what I get for not reading the package better. I love them even more now.

[@ColoringBliss]

You have so much fun coloring to discover now! 😊❤️

[@Marina-dm5oj]

Have you seen the Arteza glitter pens 🖊 they look so glittery on KZbin channel I just saw them seem too pop more. I do have the hybrid dual metallic pens from Pental . But just thought I would ask you case you have try them . I do agree with you the pental are so much prettier. But not all have the glitter ✨ that I like. Just was waiting your opinion since you try so many out before I buy any. Thank you 😊

[@hikikomoriarty]

*Pentel Sparkle Pop Gel Pens* are the same thing as the *Pentel Hybrid Dual Metallic Gel Pens* . It depends on what country you're in.

[@jayne9824]

I have a few Pentel Hybrid Gel Rollers and I really like them

[@hikikomoriarty]

Yes - *Pentel Sparkle Pop Gel Pens* are the same thing as the *Pentel Hybrid Dual Metallic Gel Pens* . It depends on what country you're in.

[@VElaineA]

Great video Jennifer. Your enthusiasm rubs off on me - lol.

[@benjones1458]

These are available in the UK but I believe they are branded as Hybrid Dual Metallics rather than Sparkle Pop. But the effect is very much the same and the wow factor is still as incredible!!!

[@hikikomoriarty]

Yes - *Pentel Sparkle Pop Gel Pens* are the same thing as the *Pentel Hybrid Dual Metallic Gel Pens* . It depends on what country you're in.

[@andrewguzowski163]

brought this pentel sparkle pop gel pens. love them so much. i agree that these pens are my new favorite gel pens.

[@kimcurtis4646]

So I'm guessing these are the same as the Pentel Hybrid? I use those all the time and have been hoping for more colors. Your swatches look pretty much identical to the Hybrid. I'm guessing these are the American version and the Hybrid are the Japanese version. I get them at JetPens.

[@hikikomoriarty]

Yes - *Pentel Sparkle Pop Gel Pens* are the same thing as the *Pentel Hybrid Dual Metallic Gel Pens* . It depends on what country you're in.

[@nathanieltorres276]

Fantastic color gel pens you have

[@junbug1029]

Those Pentel pens are beautiful. I don't have a favorite, but these could be it. TFS xoxo Joan

[@Simfyre]

Looking at it on the screen, one thing I don't care for is how the color of the pen is so different than the color on the page. The purple for example doesn't look anything like that pretty lavender pen on either black or white paper.

[@robertadejean3081]

I'm so glad you found the ones I sent you Jen!!! Even more excited that you love them!! As soon as I tried the pens I just knew you they had your names alllll over them!!!

[@ColoringBliss]

You are so right! I haven’t been able to put them down since I started using them. Thank you so much!!!

[@robertadejean3081]

Coloring Bliss you're so very welcome!

[@leighannteegarden6076]

I just started using gel pens and I really like them. I have some Tanmit and Gelly Roll ones. I would love to try these out!

[@rebeccakonye3951]

They're so pretty. I really hope Pentel comes out with more colors. Thanks so much for your review.

[@ColoringBliss]

We need at least a dozen colors!

[@LindaCrowder10021950]

Re-watching your video tonight. I don’t have these but the clips on my Chromatek gel pens break easily. I am wondering if they were handled rough in transist and maybe another package thrown on top of a soft package contains gel pens broke or cracked the clips? That is the only ones I have that does that.

[@ebonymuller3498]

That's sooo cool.

[@suegaines3714]

Wow!!!! I drooled over these!!! Thanks for letting us know about these❤️
