Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you choose.
Glitter pens contain fine sparkle particles suspended in ink, creating a shimmering, multi-dimensional effect that catches light — ideal for decorative journaling, hand lettering, and creative accents. Metallic pens produce a smooth, reflective finish similar to foil or polished metal, giving your work a sleek, professional look. If you love sparkle and playfulness, go for glitter; if you prefer a refined, luminous sheen, metallic is your pick.
Most glitter pens on the market use water-based gel ink — it works well on paper, but that's largely where it stops. Our pens use acrylic-based pigment ink, which opens up a completely different level of creative possibility.
Acrylic ink bonds to almost any surface: paper, cardstock, kraft paper, dark and black paper, wood, glass, stone, ceramic, fabric, and more. Once dry, it's waterproof and fade-resistant, so your work holds up over time — whether it's in a journal, on a wood sign, or decorating a glass jar.
The pigment load in acrylic ink is also significantly higher, which means richer color, stronger opacity, and more vivid glitter or metallic payoff — especially on dark surfaces where gel ink tends to look washed out or requires multiple passes.
In short: gel ink is for paper. Acrylic ink is for everywhere.

For bullet journaling and hand lettering, a fine-tip pen gives you the control you need. Our HC-G1MS 0.7mm Glitter Pen is our most popular choice among journaling enthusiasts — the fine point lets you write neatly between lines, add detailed borders, and create intricate decorative elements without bleeding or smearing. Available in 8, 12, 18 and 24-color sets, it's the easiest way to start or expand your journaling toolkit.
Yes — our glitter and metallic pens are formulated with high-opacity pigments that show up vividly on dark, black, and kraft paper.
This makes them especially popular for shadow box art, dark-background journaling spreads, greeting card making, and mixed-media DIY projects. For the most opaque coverage on dark surfaces, the HC-M2M 2mm Metallic Pen and HC-C1MS Chrome Pen deliver the boldest results.

Before first use, shake the pen gently for about 10 seconds, then press the tip down on a spare piece of paper a few times until the ink flows evenly. This primes the acrylic pigment and ensures a smooth, consistent line from the first stroke.
For the best opacity — especially on dark or non-paper surfaces — allow the first layer to dry completely before adding a second coat. Acrylic ink dries quickly, usually within 1–2 minutes depending on the surface. Keep caps on tightly when not in use to prevent the tip from drying out.

Our glitter and metallic acrylic ink pens are non-toxic and suitable for older children and teens working on school projects, scrapbooking, or craft assignments under adult supervision. They're popular in classroom settings for poster decoration, science fair displays, and art class.
For younger children, we recommend adult guidance when using any Glitter Paint ink pen to avoid staining on fabrics or other surfaces.

Yes. Once fully cured, our acrylic-based ink is waterproof and resistant to smearing, fading, and light moisture. On porous surfaces like paper, wood, and stone, the ink bonds strongly and holds up well over time.
On smooth non-porous surfaces like glass and ceramic, we recommend sealing your finished work with a clear acrylic sealer or varnish for maximum durability — especially for items that will be handled frequently or exposed to water.
