Is this real glitter or just a shimmer effect?
Is this real glitter or just a shimmer effect?
Real micro-glitter particles, not just a subtle shimmer. The glitter is suspended directly in the acrylic ink, so every stroke catches the light. And because it is sealed in the formula, nothing falls off or makes a mess. On black or kraft paper, the sparkle pops even more.
Will the glitter fade after a few uses?
Will the glitter fade after a few uses?
Never. Our micro-glitter stays suspended in the ink, so a quick shake gives you the same dense sparkle on the last page as on the first.
Will glitter get everywhere?
Will glitter get everywhere?
Not at all, that's the whole point. The glitter stays in the ink and on your page. No sparkly hands, no glitter on your table, no cleaning up. And once it's dry, the sparkle is locked in: nothing rubs off on your fingers.
Do these bleed through paper?
Do these bleed through paper?
Never. The water-based acrylic formula dries on the surface without soaking through. Flip the page: nothing on the other side. Works on coloring book paper, sketch paper and most art papers. The page stays flat too: no wrinkling, even in coloring books.
Will the markers dry out or run out fast?
Will the markers dry out or run out fast?
No. Each end has its own tight-sealing cap and its own ink reservoir, so both colors stay fresh between projects. Store them flat in their case and they're ready every time. And if one ever arrives dry, we replace it.
Can I do fine details, not just big areas?
Can I do fine details, not just big areas?
Yes. The flexible brush tip draws fine lines with its point and fills large areas when you tilt it, so lettering, outlines and backgrounds all work with the same pen.
How does the dual-color design work?
How does the dual-color design work?
Each pen has two different glitter colors, one on each end. The 24 Colors set has 12 pens, the 48 Colors set has 24 pens and the 96 Colors set has 48 pens.
Are all the colors really different?
Are all the colors really different?
Yes. Every shade is unique and the glitter band on each end shows its exact color, so what you see on the pen is what you get on the page. The 96 set even comes with a Color Matching Guide.
Are they safe for children?
Are they safe for children?
Yes. Trinka's glitter markers are water-based and non-toxic. They wash off skin and most fabrics with soap and water.
