SAKURA Gelly Roll Metallic Gel Pens - Pens for Scrapbook, Journals or Drawing - Art Gifts, DIY Projects - Colored Metallic Ink - Medium Line - 10 Pack

I bought these at least 10 years ago (picture/swatch is from 2025 though). The colors are still just as vibrant and the ink has only dried out in 6 of the “classic” colors. I use them a few times, put them away for months, then go back to them and they work just as well EVERY time! Yes it may take some rolling to get the ink going if you let them sit for a long time, but only 6 have completely dried out after all these years and I think that’s amazing compared to the lower quality gel pens I’ve bought in the past. I remember beating myself up for the price when I first bought them, but I promise it’s worth it. So many different colors, types, and even thickness. No repeats unless the pen comes in 2 different sizes, then you get both. It also comes with the “Clear” pen and that one is usually sold separately. It’s a great investment because these are the best quality gel pens you can get.(Attached picture is a January 2025 swatch of all except the 6 non-functioning pens. You can see which ones don’t work anymore.)

These are literally the best gel pens out there—no competition. I’ve been obsessed with Gelly Roll pens since high school and they’re still just as amazing! The ink is so rich, so thick, and perfectly pigmented it can even completely cover/ write over black paper like magic. Super smooth, super gelly, and always a joy to use. If you know, you know. 🖊✨

I have bought many different brands of gel pens for drawing, using with a spirograph and doodling on black paper, and the Sakura Gelly Roll pens are the only ones that consistently show up beautifully and boldly on black paper. I use them for coloring and journaling as well. I have not experienced any significant bleed through, globs or skipping yet. They have lived up to the "ice cream smooth" motto so far!These pens come in a sturdy plastic case, divided into six compartments.It also comes with a color chart that you color in yourself, with the names/numbers of each color. You can tell which pens are which at a glance as either the name/size is written on the pen, and the caps are coded as well. For example, the Moonlight pens have a small moon and star on the cap, and the Starlight pens have a shooting star. Such a cute detail (and one of the many reasons I adore Japanese designed products)!This set contains:Metallic - 14 different colored gel pens. They have a beautiful matte metallic sheen to them. Look lovely on black paper.Classic - 17 gel pens, 11 are medium point, 6 are fine point (duplicate colors). These are just normal gel ink colors, hence classic.Moonlight -20 gel pens, 10 are medium,10 are fine. Only 10 colors, so duplicates but you get the two line sizes. These are amazing neon and pastel colors that are super creamy and pop like wild on black paper. They also glow under black light. So cool! These are my favorite of all the Gelly Rolls.Stardust - 13 different colored glitter gel pens. Hands down the BEST glitter gel pens ever made. If you have a soft spot for glitter gel pens, you must add these to your collection. You can buy them separately from this set, which is great for just starting your future Gelly Roll addiction. These also look awesome on black paper.Silver & Gold Shadow - 10 gel pens, 5 silver shadow, 5 gold shadow. These are the pens from my childhood, and are pure magic. When you write with them, your lettering transforms with the color of the pen (shadow) around the silver or gold. Just a note - after writing/drawing with this pen, you need to wait a few minutes for the magic to happen :)This is a great set for any fan of gel pens. This 74-piece Gelly Roll gift set does not disappoint! I love that you get almost all of the varieties of Sakura Gelly Roll pens in one awesome set, and for a really great price.

My 90's peeps will understand when I say I REALLY missed the sweet smell of these fantastic gel pens.The last time I owned these was when I was around 6-7 years old. These pens were a writing statement piece when I was a kid. I loved these gel pens and the smoothness and color they brought to each paper I wrote on or colored. Now I know it was weird for me to say that they have a smell, but those who have previously owned these as a kid they will understand that there is a smell to some of these pens. The metallic gelly rolls have this familiar smell I am talking about; if you know what I am talking about, you will truly understand what I mean. Now I have completely forgotten about these pens since I last had them as a kid. I know; shame on me, right? I was recently reminded when I was looking for my 2023 planner. I have switched from a regular planner to a Hobonichi, and I was hunting for the best pen to use for the Hobonichi. I have read that these are only the best to use in the Hobonichi if you are willing to wait for the ink to dry since they do smug when wet. I am eager to take the risk for these spectacular pens ever gifted to planet earth.I usually don't take the time to write product reviews on here, but after using the Gelly Rolls again, I had to stop all that I was doing to tell anyone debating on getting these pens to just do it.I bought the 74 pack. I know it's a hefty price for these pens, but trust me, it's worth every penny to have these pens in your life. Also, try and name a good pen on the market that is worth $1.16 each. No other pen on earth writes as smoothly and beautifully as these do. I honestly can't think of a brand of pen that will bring such vibrant and perfect color to your papers or journals. They don't rip or jump on your paper. It's just a smooth buttery writing session with these sweet little pens.Buy them and don't regret your purchase because this will be the best purchase you have made in a long time.

I love stationery and unique pens to make everything I write look more fun, and these metallic gel pens definitely fit the bill. They add a great pop of color and texture and last a long time, even with frequent use. The only thing to keep in mind is that they need a few minutes to dry after use, or they may smear. Other than that, no complaints
