  • What is the best white gel pen? Let’s find out! Watch me do a head-to-head white gel pen comparison to figure out once and for all who makes the best white gel pen. I compare 4 popular gel pen brands, including Sakura Gelly Roll, Uni-Ball Signo, Pentel Milky Pop and Arteza, based on their opacity, flow, pricing and availability. I also tested them using white gel pen on black paper to be able to better see the results.

    Guess it depends on where you shop. I bought my milky pop as a single for about 1.30ish. My gelly roll came in a pack of 3 for about 4. They are about the same price from what I've seen. Granted I bought them at different places. Both are good pens and so nice to use though. I have barely seen a difference unless old.

    As you described the Pentel correction pen and its smell. I immediately was reminded of how much that appears to be what we used to use to correct typing errors. The product was called Liquid Paper. It was a white fluid that you brushed over the error. It had a horrible smell to it.

Did you ever paint your nails with it? I did!!

    Hey Jennifer i just wanted to being something to your attention real quick. The milky pop was 1 of the original pastel gel pens sets you could buy LATE 1990s & EARLY 2000s. I still have many of my original Milky gel pens from when i was in high school (1998-2003) Thank u very much for this. Back then milky had a big scratchy miss in them. They worked tho. Once Gelly Roll came out, many people didn't use Milky. I also have Gelly Rolls that still work from way back then. At least 20 years ago.

    I'd love to here whether Gelly Roll has in fact changed their formula. I purchased a set of fine, med, and bold a year or two ago and was really disappointed by the railroading (what you call tracking) in all sizes. I really like the Unibal Signo 153 Gold, so I'm going to try their white, which I think is the same as the Gel Impact.

    UNIBALL Signo white impo. Been using these for SOOO long! (before they even became a thing?! More than 10 years) I journal a lot, and the REMINENCE gel pens are Fantastic!! I found them at my local craft store in Canada (DeSerres) they come in wht, blk, gold, silver, bronze, and copper only, but are hands down the bee's knees! a bit pricey, but worth it! As I said I use them for journaling. It is the smooth laydown, no skipping and the flow is unbelievable... when they are at the near end, is when they skip, telling me, time to get a new one. (I don't like the scratchy feeling when I am journalling) I don't know why gelly rolls have never been even a contender for me since day one? (BUT, I did enter... I have hope, I guess because so many people advocate them! Could be because I tested them with the old formula?) Thank You for this vid, always fun to watch. And I love your puppy Jennifer!!!

    Funny thing.... IF the same as it used to be, way back when (won't say how long ago, but let's say... a long time, lol) that 'white' really good performing Pentel blue container 'paint type pen'..... is 'liquid paper'. Not ink, but... 'white out'. Maybe you knew that already OR.... it changed since ages ago. Either way, imho..... 'whatever works' . ;) P.S. Way back then, Sakura Gelly Roll sets, I had found this (at the time) rare, bold almost neon looking gel pen set (a super bold, pretty royal blue, teal green, their black was awesome too..... A grey, I believe, hot pink, bright orange.... neon green... AND.... those super sparkly ones were the BEST! OMG, I used to use those for notes, Christmas Cards, B-day card envelopes... everything! I loved/love gel pens & those were prob the only ones you could count on, I'd use each... until they literally, ran DRY! Was SO sad as each color...... was gone. Tap, tap... phew.... tap, tap... OH NOOOO... lol EVERYONE used to ask where I got 'em. Seems Sakura is still as great as they used to be tho.... & then some! Even more options. Just way more budget-friendly & a LOT easier to find & get your hands on these days.

I find I have the most trouble going over prismacolor pencils for some reason I have the best luck with the milky pop even though it is my least favorite over all. I think my favorite is the boldest gelly roll. Also thanks for the inspiration. I am going to now make a black swatch sheet with all my different white supplies. Maybe it will inspire me to use some of the items,like ink, I forget about.

    I was really hoping to learn that there was something else out there on the market that I could try.
    I currently have 3 Bold, 7 Medium and 2 Fine White Gelly Roll pens, and NONE of them have worked from day one. Such a total waste of money :(

    Now I'm confused. It seems like I have the newer version of the uniball signo pen with the international label but my pen works the same shitty way the Japanese version does. I was always wondering why everyone was so happy about that one..

    I haven’t had a problem with my white pens drying up. I have a uniball white pen I’ve been using for 4 years and a belly roll white I’ve had for at least 10 years it still works fine but I do think the newer gellyroll pens have better ink. Maybe it’s the climate you live in that makes them dry out faster. Love the testing of the pens though

    • @ColoringBliss
      @ColoringBliss  3 роки тому +1

      Oh wow....climate could totally be playing a huge factor in my problem. Utah is a very dry desert. It still doesn’t totally explain why the white pens misbehave more than all the other gel pens...but it might partially explain.

      It’s definitely an imperfect tool in general. Maybe someday, someone much smarter than me will invent the perfect solution.

    Great video, thank you!
    Since you've opened the door to non-gel options, here are a couple I've found recently you might enjoy trying. I've included the product names and their descriptions "according to Blick." Hope this helps!
    Zig Fudebiyori Pigment Brush Pen
    Featuring highly-opaque milky white pigment ink, the ZIG Fudebiyori Pigment Brush Pen is ideal for brush lettering and illustrating on dark paper or blending and softening by layering over other colors. (Just purchased, haven't tried)
    Edding Soft White Pastel Pen
    The Edding Soft White Pastel Pen is the ultimate answer to painting and writing in white, as well as creating infinite tones. The pen contains waterbased, pigmented ink that produces light, semi-transparent white effects, creates white dots, and looks great on dark papers. Artists have complete control over the intensity of the color - color once to create a light-semi-transparent tone, allow to dry, then color again to intensify the tone and increase the opacity (Only used a bit so far, but with good results. It reminds me of a more robust, better-functioning version of the old Picket Fence Distress Marker, if you remember those).
    P.S. Since you say you're new to Gelly Roll white 05 and 10 ... in my experience, 10 will never betray you. Seems like that giant ball just doesn't much allow for clogs. The 05, though? Beware! Old or new, they seem to live to desiccate & die. But your good results with 08 were nice to see! Also, the gold logo added to cap is because I think they've technically reclassed them as Moonlite.
    Also, on the Uni-ball language/labeling question ... I *think* that the English language labels are for the US/world market, and the Japanese labels (obviously) for the home crowd in Japan. The thing is, I've always had "dry up" problems with the ones purchased domestically- but it stopped cold once I started taking care to buy the Japanese pens from Japanese suppliers. I don't know the reason & YMMV - maybe something happens in shipping containers? Or maybe they're really a little different somehow..Either way, I'm sold. Hope this helps

    Uniball signo and gelly roll are the best as far as brightness. If you get the pack of 3 Signo pens with gold and silver, price isn't bad. If you get pack of 3 white belly rolls price isn't bad either.

    Like you said, nothing is perfect all the time, but I have found Gelly Rolls don't dry up as fast as Uni, their nib variety work better than the Uni variety ( considering Uni other colors here), and the price is better. Darn thing is waiting for any gel to dry, did you notice all the white on your hand? The fine white gelly roll is good for journalers that are filling in appointments or thoughts and don't want to take away from the more bold artsy decorations on their page.

      Like always, tests like this can be very subjective. Also, be careful to make sure the reviewer is being as objective as possible...some are sent products for free from companies (and then they provide affiliate links) and this can skew the results in a positive way so that they will get more products in the future from that company and more affiliate sales. It’s the reality of this business and why we usually don’t accept free products from companies.
