DELI Nusign Pastel Dual-Tip Highlighters Review: The Softer Way to Study in the UK

Not all highlighters are created equal. While fluorescent highlighters have their place, there's a growing movement in the UK study and journalling community towards softer, pastel-toned alternatives that are easier on the eyes and more aesthetically pleasing on the page. The DELI Nusign NS720 Dual-Tip Highlighters in Pastel Colours — 6 Pack is a standout choice in this category, offering six beautiful muted shades with a dual-tip design that makes them as versatile as they are lovely to use.

Why Pastel Highlighters?

Traditional fluorescent highlighters — the bright yellows, pinks, and greens that have dominated classrooms for decades — are highly visible but can feel harsh and overwhelming, particularly during long study sessions. Pastel highlighters offer a gentler alternative:

• Easier on the eyes — softer colours reduce eye strain during extended reading and revision
• More aesthetically pleasing — pastel tones look beautiful in journals, planners, and study notes
• Better for photography — pastel-highlighted notes photograph beautifully for study sharing on social media
• Sophisticated appearance — pastel colours feel more grown-up and professional than fluorescent alternatives
• Harmonious colour coding — pastel shades work together without clashing, making colour-coded notes visually cohesive

The Dual-Tip Design

Each pen in the NS720 6-pack features two tips:

• Chisel tip (broad end) — the classic highlighter tip for marking text, creating wide colour bands, and filling large areas quickly
• Fine bullet tip (narrow end) — for underlining, drawing fine lines, creating borders, and writing in colour

This dual-tip design effectively gives you two tools in one pen, making the NS720 exceptional value and reducing the number of pens you need to carry.

The 6-Colour Pastel Palette

The six pastel shades in the NS720 set are carefully chosen to provide a complete colour-coding system while maintaining visual harmony. Typical pastel sets include soft versions of yellow, pink, blue, green, purple, and orange — each muted enough to be gentle on the eyes while still providing clear visual differentiation between categories.

How to Use Your Pastel Highlighters

Subject Colour Coding

Assign a different pastel colour to each subject or topic. Use the chisel tip to highlight key passages and the fine tip to underline important terms. The six colours in the pack give you enough variety for most study schedules.

Priority Levels

Use colours to indicate priority or importance: one colour for must-know information, another for useful context, a third for interesting but non-essential details. This creates an instant visual hierarchy in your notes.

Bullet Journal Decoration

Use the chisel tip to create soft, coloured header backgrounds in your bullet journal. The pastel tones are particularly beautiful for this application, creating a gentle, sophisticated aesthetic that's hugely popular in the UK journalling community.

Planner Colour Coding

Use different pastel colours to categorise entries in your planner — work, personal, health, social, and so on. The fine tip is perfect for writing directly in the planner in colour.

Paper Compatibility

The NS720 highlighters perform well on most standard notebook and printer paper. For best results, use paper of at least 80gsm to minimise bleed-through. Always test on a spare page before using in a precious journal or planner.

A Perfect Study Gift

A set of pastel dual-tip highlighters makes a wonderful gift for students at any level — from secondary school through to university. Pair with a quality notebook and some fine-tip pens from our range at TTPEN UK for a complete, thoughtful study gift set.
