Marker POSCA PC-3M Glitter by POSCA — fine bullet tip artist marker in warm glitter colors (orange, pink, red, yellow)

POSCA PC-3M Glitter by POSCA is a fine bullet-tip artist marker offered in warm glitter shades — orange, pink, red and yellow. It contains opaque, water-based pigment ink designed for controlled lines and detailed work on porous surfaces such as paper, cardboard and wood. The PC-3M tip is a small, round nib that produces consistent, fine strokes suitable for illustration, lettering, scrapbooking and mixed-media projects where subtle sparkle and clean coverage are required.

Advantages

The marker delivers highly opaque colour with a glitter effect while remaining water-based and low-odour. Its fine bullet tip provides precise, consistent lines for detail work and outlining. The pigment ink layers well over many porous surfaces and dries to a durable finish that resists smudging when dry. The range of warm glitter tones allows for coordinated colour accents and highlighted details without the need for additional embellishment.

Suitable for

• Illustration and sketching details
• Hand lettering and outlining
• Scrapbooking and card making
• Mixed-media art on paper, cardboard and untreated wood

When it may not be suitable

The POSCA PC-3M Glitter marker is formulated for porous surfaces; it may not perform reliably on non-porous materials such as glass, glazed ceramics, plastics or metal without prior surface treatment. The glitter pigment and opaque water-based ink can layer visibly, so very large-area coverage may require multiple passes and is less efficient than using a broader tip or different product intended for full-surface painting.

Key specifications

• Tip type: fine bullet (round) tip for detailed lines
• Ink type: water-based pigment ink with glitter effect
• Colour palette: warm glitter shades — orange, pink, red, yellow
• Suitable surfaces: paper, cardboard, untreated wood and other porous materials
• Finish: opaque, glittering finish when dry

How to use

Shake the marker well before use to mix the glitter pigment evenly with the ink. Press the tip gently on scrap paper until the pigment flows steadily, then work with controlled strokes for fine lines and detailing. Allow each layer to dry before applying additional passes to avoid smudging. For best adhesion on wood or heavier cardboard, test on a small area first. Store horizontally when not in use to maintain even ink distribution.

What to consider before purchase

• Designed primarily for porous surfaces; check compatibility with your material
• Fine bullet tip is intended for detail work, not full-surface coverage
• Warm glitter tones are decorative accents rather than solid flat colours

Usage recommendations

Use this marker for accents, outlines and small details in illustration, lettering and paper crafts. Combine with broader POSCA tips when larger areas or opaque coverage are needed, and allow adequate drying time between layers for a clean, glittering finish.
