So today I'm going to be talking about what Chalkola is and why I think the product is pretty awesome!

Chalkola is a company that makes vibrate, bright and bold premium wet wipe markers. Their chalk markers are designed to be vibrate like a marker but erasable like a piece of a chalk. With that in mind, the chalk markers are designed to work on a variety of non-porous surfaces and wipes clean from those surfaces with a damp cloth.

If your not familiar with the term ''non-porous surfaces'', it means surfaces like glass, whiteboards, mirrors, plastics, chalkboards and ceramics.

Besides there actual function as a chalk marker, Chalkola's chalk markers also have several key attributions which make them a good quality chalk marker. For example, the chalk markers are: 

The above pack that I was sent, included 10 party colors which have a 5.5 mm bullet tip. However, you can also purchase a three pack of white Chalkola markers which have a 4.5 mm bullet tip.

Before using the Chalkola chalk markers, you first had to ''prime'' them. Meaning, that you had to shake the chalk marker and then press down on the tip, in order to get the color ink flowing. It was really the same type of process you would go through, if you were using a paint pen.

Specifically for the Chalkola chalk markers, you had to shake the chalk marker for 30 seconds, then press the tip down multiple times to get the ink flowing. I noticed when pressing the tip down, that it took about 1 to 3 minutes to really get the ink flowing. However once you got the ink flowing, you had instant vibrate color!

In the above photos, I tried to show you how the chalk marker tip looks before you shake it and then after you shake it. You can tell a big difference in this blue chalk marker because before the the tip is sort-of a pale tan color and then after you have a bright blue ink color. 

When testing the chalk markers out, I first used them on a mason jar. They worked liked a charm and wiped off very nicely. However, for this blog post, I wanted to use the markers in more detail. So I grabbed an old frame and began drawing on top of the glass. 

As you can tell in the above photos, I tried many different techniques in order to get a better a review of the chalk markers. For example, I tried making dots, layering different colors and colored big areas with just one color. Overall, the chalk markers were fabulous! They colored like a dream, there was practically no odor and the color itself was really bright!

When it came to coloring, the chalk markers produce bright color which seem to dry fairly quickly. In my example above, I tried to layer colors to see how the chalk markers would work. I noticed that layering colors was possible, you just had to wait until one layer was completely dry before you began a different color. For example, on my Scottie dog's bow tie, I first colored a layer of red then waited for it to dry. Then I went back over the red portion with my white chalk marker, to add some dimension. 

Now when I saying layering, I mean layering literally, like one color on top of another. I tried to blend colors together, where one color would go seamless with another, and didn't have that much luck. Again I was working on glass, so it could have been the glass itself. With that being said, I have seen some reviews on Chalkola were people have been able to blend on paper. So I think it all comes down to the surface your working on.
