Copic atyou Spica Micro Glass Glitter Marker Pen - Sky Blue

I wanted to like these so bad, and at first I did. Glittery, pretty colors, I was sold. I really like the light pastel barely there colors, but with time the colors seemed to be losing the little punch they had in the first place. Some pens will be color, no glitter.. sometimes you pick them up and they don't write at all.. I store my pens carefully there really isn't any reason for these to be so temperamental. Ultimately I'd rather use a cheapo Sakura Stardust to get my glitter fix, they're much more pigmented and reliable. Also, I have one "Kuretake Zig Wink of Stella Glitter Pen" and it's pretty good too, it works whenever I call for it!

I got these pens few days ago..and they were slightly different from what I was expecting:
- Its not super well pigmented, so most of the lightish colors come out reallyyyy light.
- my favorite colors are the violets and turquoise.
- some colors are very well glittered whereas some are not ;( (purple is the most glittered, while colors like emerald and yelow you can barely see any glitters)
- compared to the wink of stella: stella pens come out much more pigmented, but will less glitter.

Overall:
- the biggest thing that disappointed me was the pigmentation- I wish they were more pigmented!!

I am madly in love with these pens! They write really well and the ink always comes out smooth and glittery. They dry really fast, and have minimal smudge if you pass your hand over them (unlike the sakura gel pens I used to have that always smeared). The colors are really pretty. A bit pricey, but worth every penny!

Great product. It puts just enough sparkle and you can put it over any Copic marker without it changing the color! I've always used gel pens with colored ink.. I have to say I won't go back and use those again! Another amazing Copic product!

Althought this pen is very cute, its color is not the same as the one is showed in the picture. It doesn't look like "turquoise", only a darky very glittered green. I'm not very sure if it was woth or not, but "copic atyou spica" is one of the bests glittered pens available on JetPens, althought the serie A have some really normal colors, like this turquoise, for example...
