Your mixed media projects will sparkle and shine with the Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss pens from the Nuvo Collection by Tonic Studios! The package contains two pens with brush tips. The pens contain a clear glitter gloss that adds a glitter effect to any project without hassle and mess.
I held off on buying this Shimmer pen set for a long time because they're so stinking expensive! However, when they went on sale I splurged, and are they ever glittery! I'm afraid I'm hooked!!!! Talk about intense glittery shimmer!!! Wow! And yes after it's dry if you touch it some will come off on your finger, but it's no big deal.
This glitter glow is fantastic to add shimmer and shine to all your projects!
Love this product! Glittery goodness without the mess. Think Wink of Stella amped up a few notches. If you like that sparkle you will love this!
I bought these pens when they first came out because I LOVE glimmer pens! I have the Wink of Stella pens, which were the first on the market, then I bought the Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle brush markers, before purchasing the Tonic Aqua Shimmer pens.
I did a side by side test using each of the markers on a matching solid stamped image. The results were as follows: Wink of Stella had the least sparkle showing, Spectrum Noir had considerabley more sparkle. The winner, without a doubt, was the Tonic Nuvo Aqua Shimmer marker. The sample of it showed that it was evenly covered with tiny sparkly bits, that caught the light much more effectively than either of the other 2 pens.
Note: You MUST be sure to gently shake/roll the barrels of the pen before you start to stroke on the color. That is the only way you will get the sparkles to mix with the carrying agent before it is used. (This holds true for all of the pens with glitter in them!). It is also a good idea to store the pens (any of these mentioned), with the pen tips UP. The Wink of Stella package recommended this, and it worked well - it also works well for the other 2 brands.
I definitely recommend these Nuvo Aqua Shimmer pens. They are less expensive than the other brands and produce a more impressive shimmery result!
I bought these bwcause Jennifer MacGuire uses them and recommended them. They are nice but I tested them side by side with wink of stella and I dont see a difference. Both pens are awesome. Same as the spectrum noir glitter pens. Love that one too.
These glitter gloss pens put just the right amount of sheen on your project and really make it pop. I definitely do not want to run out of these. I tried another brand and it works OK, but it's a brush and you cannot trace over words like you can with the pen. Highly recommend these.
It is a Tim Holtz product so you know it will be fun, it is shimmery and glossy and that is always fun!
I have watched a number of wonderful videos where other card makers are using this and what a difference. It add just that little extra sparkle to your project.
I have many years of (fairly competent) crafting experience, I have seen this product used in multiple cardmaking videos, and the Aqua Shimmer pen was still a little tricky for me when I first used it. First time users should read the package; there is a yellow ring that needs to be removed before using it the first time. Hold the pen nib-side-up when removing the ring or the cap. The cap removes by pulling straight off, not turning---if you try unscrewing it you will be separating the reservoir from the nib and the shimmer liquid will try to escape. It is called AQUA Shimmer--it is a thin liquid, and has the potential to come out faster than you think it would. That being said, it's a very nice product and adds a beautiful bit of subtle glittery shine.
This shimmer pen is fun to use. One coat gives me a subtle dusting, two or three coats makes for a lot of glitter and shine. I’ve used it on cardstock, copy paper and wood. I got consistent results with all of them. It’s more on the clear/silvery side than gold, but it didn’t change the color of my project. The only drawback is that it’s a tad watery, but the plus side is that it dries really fast.

How do you store the nuvo pens? With the brush pointing up or down? Mary Lou

I store mine brush up. I always shake it very well and only squeeze when it doesnt seem as "wet". I have been using mine for months now and no issues storing it this way. Im not sure if this is the manufacturer way but I store all my glitter pens this way. I hope this helped you. 😉
