Abstract: A glitter marking instrument such as a marker, highlighter and the like, is provided which includes a barrel having a front portion. A liquid mixture of ink and glitter is stored within the barrel. The glitter marking instrument further comprises a nib for receiving the ink/glitter mixture to effectuate a writing on a chosen surface. The nib is housed partially within the front portion of the barrel and a portion of the nib protrudes outwardly from within the front portion of the barrel. Further, the nib has an outer surface and the nib is axially movable within the front end of the barrel. Moreover, when the nib of the marking instrument has sufficient pressure exerted upon it to move said nib axially inward further within the front portion of the barrel then the ink/glitter mixture stored within the barrel is caused to flow to the nib.
