Awesome Pens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never used any gel pens before and I was more than pleasantly surprised. These pens are so much better than regular pens. The ink dries very quickly with no smudging, even from my left handed son whose writing always smears. The pens are comfortable to use - much more ergonomic than regular pens, a plus for my arthritic hands. I would (and have) strongly recommend these.

Best gel pens ever!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely loved these pens. I loved the colors. I loved how smooth they wrote. I loved how fast they dried and how they didn't smear. I don't have a single negative thing to critique on these pens because I had such a positive experience with them.

Great Pens!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these Bic Gel-ocity Quick Dry pens for free from smiley 360. I took a video of my daughter coloring a nice picture with these pens. Some of the words she used on the video were glide, bright, glossy, etc... She loved to color with these. I also used these pens to write in my calendar book for this new school year. I love the colors! And my daughter was right, the pen glides on the paper, the color is bright and glossy. Perfect!

A new top competitor to Pilot G-2!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received a free sample of BIC Gel-ocity Quick Dry pens from Smiley360. I was so excited to try them but was also skeptical, as I am very picky with my pens and exclusively favored the Pilot G-2. As soon as the pens arrived I was instantly pleased with the attractive colors they came in- turquoise, hot pink, and dark purple. When I began to write with the pen I was actually impressed with how easily the pen glided across the paper. I did not need to press much at all yet the pen wrote smoothly with a nice rich ink tone, and with good precision, even though it is a medium point. The pen also felt comfortable to hold in my hand, with a rubbery grip that was smooth and not sticky, and the retractor was easy to manipulate. I was able to quickly attach the pen to my notebook by its clip in one simple movement for convenient storage and quick access. I did not care for the overall design of the pen, with its thicker barrel and it's whimsical art design, but that is just my own personal preference for a more streamlined, professional-looking pen, but it's not a deal breaker. And just as the pen advertises, the ink dries quickly, but don't mistake it for a permanent marker. This pen will smear on certain glossy paper surfaces, as I discovered when writing on the enclosed paper that Bic sent with the sample kit, but that is understandable. The Pilot G-2 also smeared on that type of surface. These pens are perfect for my summertime guilty pleasure, which is lounging outside on the patio or at the beach doing crossword puzzles. The ink writes smoothly and the color stands out against the black and white newspaper print, making for an even more enjoyable leisure experience. When looking online I saw that the BIC Gel-ocity Quick Dry pens come in multicolor packs, just like the Pilot Pens do, but I actually find that the BIC Gel-ocity colors are more appealing- but I do wish the multicolor packs also included one or two black gel pens as well. I think adding the black pens would make the multicolor packs more functional for people of all ages and for a wider variety of purposes. I also noticed that the BIC Gel-ocity pens were slightly more expensive than the Pilot G-2s so I was disappointed in that, but it's probably just because they are new with the improved quick-dry feature, and BIC did supply me with coupons so that makes purchasing their brand a better value for now. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the BIC Gel-ocity Quick Dry gel pens fared with my favorite pen, the Pilot G-2. Even though I do not care for the BIC pen's appearance, it's functionality and precision are comparable, yet the way the ink flows and leaves a rich bold color with the slightest stroke beats out the competition in my opinion.

No smears means no tears

Verified Purchase:No
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My child likes to draw with a pen when we are out because I usually have a pen in my purse and drawing keeps him occupied. However a lot of the time he will draw and then find his drawing got all smeared and then he would be upset, even cry sometimes. With these pens that is not a problem, he can draw and the ink dries so quickly that it doesn't smear on the paper or get all over the side of his hand. They work good no matter how he holds the pen which is important because he often doesn't hold it in the normal way an adult would hold and write with a pen. The other thing I like is that these pens don't leak like some gel pens so I feel safe carrying them in my purse because I know they aren't going to leak and ruin it.

Will minus the red ones I will get them for the teachers.
