Dear Friends,



It is my pleasure and honour to share the latest Shimmer Inks from Diamine due to be released this month. There are 12 colours and I have been able to review them all thanks to Diamine. I welcome your thoughts and feedback, as always. This is a stunning colour with shimmer and a red sheen..!



EDITED TO ADD SCANS

Thanks for the review. This is another one for the "maybe..." list.

Thank you for reviewing these new shimmering inks. This one looks like a candidate for those who like blue-black inks.

I may have to have this! I use Magical Forest and Night Sky each year for signing and addressing my Christmas cards, but I'd love to have a shimmery blue for special notes during the rest of the year.

 

I'm also looking at Tropical Glow. What I'd really like is something like a shimmery Kon-peki. Which do you suggest?

 

Thanks!

Nice but I thought I would like this one more than I do. Thanks for the review!

I hate being a negative Nancy, but your scanned images look awful. I can't tell if the ink is feathering or if it's just a low resolution.

Thanks for the review. I tend to leave blues / blacks for office use so a shimmering b/b wouldn't get much use for me, but it does look nice!

Just bought a bottle of Diamine Enchanted Ocean. My results are nothing like you obtained, just a plain blue-black.

 

Other prospective buyers may want to take this into account.

How are you looking at the page, though?

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
