GELLY - Primocolors Gel Pens Review

Hey guys!

Today is about GEL PENS! There's nothing more universal to me than gel pens. From childhood to early adulthood now, I use them for nearly everything. Currently, my main use for them is my bullet journal.

If you don't know what a bullet journal is, click here and it'll tell you all about it. Basically, it's an elaborate planner all made by you. It's a great way to be creative and organized at the same time. So, whether you're left brained or right brained, this is a great thing to do to work both! Even better is journaling/writing/drawing is good for those with depression and anxiety because it focuses you on one thing at that moment. I'm sure it helps with other illnesses as well but I don't have experience with those so I cannot say. Overall, though, it's a great habit for anyone!

If you know the struggles of finding good pens to use on papers that you'll write front and back on, you don't have to look any further! These Primocolors Gel Pens work wonderfully on thin, pale paper, as well as thicker construction paper for arts and crafts.

These beauties come in a pack of 24 (though I am unsure if they have smaller/larger packs) non-toxic, acid-free pens, include refills, and are nicely packaged in a bendable, but strong, plastic casing that buttons down.

The colors are vibrant as well! There are 12 glitter, 7 pastel, and 5 neon. The colors have an obvious difference, especially the pastel and neon. Both are bight, but neon is a bit brighter, and pastel is a soft yet bright color. When I received I was worried that the pastel would blend right in to any color, maybe they'd be too light. But that wasn't the case at all! The pastels show up very nicely on all colors of paper (so long as there is contrast). You can't put pastel blue on baby blue paper and expect to see it, but any other color, go right ahead! 

My favorite thing about these are that they dry extremely fast! I can write a 10 word sentence, and by the time I finish I can rub the first half and it be dry. No smears, no runs! The pens are very high quality, I didn't expect so much out of these since some pens are cheaply made despite having nice packaging and a name that sounds more than professional. I am very happy with these! 

If you happen to seek gel pens for journaling purposes, I highly recommend. I use them with a Piccadilly journal and the very worst thing that happens is a little bit of ghosting (where you cans see ink from the other side but it sin't like bleed through). There is no bleed through, no pooling, no anything! It doesn't smear, run, or "trace" to the other side when you close the pages. they write on the first go, and don't skip.

I love these because they're affordable and high quality pens that I can use for awhile. I'll definitely be buying more when they run out!
