Uni Noble metallic inks are pretty, sparkly and shiny. I would recommend this pen set as a gift for kids/teenagers who enjoy the novelty of metallic pens, or for girls who like pretty and cute things. They are great for doodles and maybe writing silly notes to your girlfriend/boyfriend in class.

But....they are NOT for serious artists or scrapbookers, the colors are just not colorful enough. Noble's red, orange, gold, green, blue, purple, and pink metallic ink colors are not vivid at all, they are a dull silver with a tiny hint of color. In fact, all the colors look the same as each other, except for silver... Silver is the best pen in the Noble Metallics set--it's bright & shiny, a lot better than most of the other silver pens I've tried. Strangely, the Noble pink pen has an outline effect when it dries...it's a very pretty effect, but only the pink pen does this!

Also, journal-writers won't like Noble metallic pens because they're scratchy, and many times the rollerball dents the paper without filling in the dent with ink, so the lines look hollow in the middle (hard to explain, but if you know what I mean, then you know what I mean!) Noble metallic ink simply doesn't flow as smoothly as other Uni-ball gel inks I am familiar with...honestly, I expected better smoothness from a Uni-ball product.

Finally, the little tin case is ***super cute*** 5 out of 5 stars for cuteness!!!!
