Uni NanoDia Color Mechanical Pencil Leads 0.5mm 7 Color Set, 7 Pack/total 140 Leads

The media could not be loaded. I love this specific brand because they will never break. I have so many issues with colored lead—texture, thickness, thinness, easy to break, and smoothness and opacity—not with these. I can control everything and not worry about the lead breaking—just by going over it. The opacity and density of the color is perfect, right around HB which is what a standard pencil will start at. It’s perfect for colored sketches, if you want to blend your pencil and your color together, or whatever your imagination can think of. I cannot recommend these enough. I’ve purchased them thrice now and always been very happy with the quality.Note: it is a little bit harder to erase these, but with a high polymer pencil and a little patience, it’s feasible.

Great color, fits my mechanical pencils well, nice to use. The pencils do erase depending on how dark the color it is, as well as how hard you press, and how hard you keep layering while drawing. Well worth the price I have not had issues with break-ability, but I am more used to a 0.3 mechanical pencil than 0.5.

writes pretty good and doesn’t smudge as much but a little difficult to erase completely. the lead is pretty durable and doesn’t snap with pressure. also it blends well with the other colors so you can make more colors.

Absolutely love these and there so nice. They don't break easily and have some very vivid colora

They work, the colors are nice. As you might expect they don't show up super great on non-white paper but they still do to a legible degree. They fit nicely in my pencils, no wiggling, though they are a bit more fragile than normal graphite pencil lead, so take care not to press too hard. The color quality is very freeing for sketching and markups, it gives the drawings a really nice vibe.

I bought this pack to try out the different colors and see which ones would suit me the most in my sketches.From my observations:- the orange and yellow are barely visible and not pleasing to me. I doubt I will use these again really.- the red, green, and pink were good enough to give a "pop" and dissociate my construction lines when drawings were getting a bit messy. They are good to have as back up.- the dark blue and purple were efficient and visible. These I will use again, although they can be hard to erase if you are heavy handed.- the mint/light blue lead is hands down my favorite. Visible, easy to erase, no show after inking. I intend to order more of this specific lead color as I know I will finish the packet sooner than any of the other ones combined.Overall, I recommend these to any artists who are looking to use mechanical pencils rather than regular pencils for their sketches, and who aren't sure which colors would suit them best.

Ran out of a few colors, so ordered them again. They are great for tight spaces and highlights. For first time buyers, learn the pressure threshold. Not hard to learn, but they are a bit more brittle than regular HB leads.Also really good for blending. Just wish they had a yellow.

I recently fell in love with erasable color pencils for writing in my planners and calendars. This set is to light for writing but may be perfect for coloring. The price is great for what you will receive but I will not purchase again for my collection.
