Diamine Carnation - Flower Collection

[Bhavna]

 

Some surprising and delicious sheen:

Oooooo! I like this one! The sheen is very attractive! And the color fits the flower very well! Back in high school, they used to sell carnations for Valentine's Day, so I've always associated red with this flower.

This is a very odd color, but there's something about it that keeps making me look at it. The dry times are not too bad. And the sheen is a nice bonus.

Thanks for posting the review. [For some reason, the response I wrote earlier never uploaded.]

I like this a lot, and unlike you, I'm rather drawn to it; either this or Iris is my favourite in the collection, going by your reviews. (This from someone whose favourite inks include Rouille d'Ancre.)

It is interesting isn't it? I have been using it a LOT to try and make friends with the colour. I am really growing to like it a lot. It is a cross between a peach and the Pilot iroshizuku Kusomosu. The sheen is a super-bonus I would not have expected with such a light ink.

Hello, I am really valuing your comments, thank you. You know, I am going to eat my words about this review. I am really enjoying this ink now that the initial shock has worn off- for a start just look at that sheen! Yes I love Iris too, that shading is breath-taking on pretty much all of them. The whole set is so interactive with shading and sheen it has been a joy to review.
