Metallic Neon Coloured Pencils Review: The UK Artist's Most Dazzling Pencil Set

Jun 13, 2026

18 Pack Metallic Neon Colored Pencils

Standard coloured pencils are beautiful — but metallic and neon coloured pencils are spectacular. The 18 Pack Metallic Neon Colored Pencils combines the shimmer of metallic pigments with the electric intensity of neon colours in a single, comprehensive set. The result is a pencil collection that produces effects impossible to achieve with standard coloured pencils — glittering metallic lines that catch the light, and neon colours that seem to glow on the page. For artists, crafters, and anyone who wants their work to stand out, this set is a revelation.

18 Pack Metallic Neon Colored Pencils

Metallic Pencils: Shimmer on the Page

Metallic coloured pencils contain fine metallic particles in the pigment that create a shimmering, reflective effect on the page. The metallic sheen catches the light as the paper moves, creating a dynamic, eye-catching quality that standard coloured pencils can't replicate. Metallic pencils are particularly effective for:

  • Highlighting and accent work in illustrations
  • Creating stars, sparkles, and light effects
  • Adding shimmer to hair, fabric, and reflective surfaces in portraits
  • Decorative lettering and calligraphy
  • Card making and craft projects where visual impact matters

Neon Pencils: Electric Intensity

Neon coloured pencils use highly saturated fluorescent pigments that produce colours of extraordinary intensity. On white paper, neon pencils create colours that seem to glow — electric pinks, vivid yellows, intense oranges, and brilliant greens that demand attention. Neon pencils are ideal for:

  • Bold, graphic illustration styles
  • Highlighting and emphasis in mixed-media work
  • Creating vibrant backgrounds and colour fields
  • Pop art and graphic design-inspired artwork
  • Children's artwork where bright, exciting colours are the goal

18 Pencils: A Complete Special Effects Palette

The 18-pencil set provides a comprehensive range of both metallic and neon colours, giving you a complete special effects palette. Use metallic and neon pencils alongside standard coloured pencils to add highlights, accents, and dramatic effects to your artwork.

Best Surfaces for Metallic and Neon Pencils

Metallic pencils show their shimmer most effectively on smooth, dark paper — black or dark grey paper makes the metallic effect particularly dramatic. Neon pencils are most vibrant on bright white paper. Both types work on standard drawing paper, but specialist paper enhances their unique properties.
