Sailor (Bung Box) Lycoris Red

[lgsoltek]

A bright red with a lot of pink tone.

Sample

The pink is quite noticeable. Somehow it's not as wet as I'd like.

Comparison

I like Nipponia Nippon more because it's a more proper red. Lycoris Red is too pink for my taste.

Thanks for posting this. I just ordered a bottle from Vanness. It won't be displacing Montblanc Corn Poppy as my current favorite red ink.

Oh lord... I've been wanting this ink for some time (Is always sold out when I am placing an order)... I do like Red with pink undertones, so this ink is right up my alley.

 

Gorgeous review as always... THANKS !!!

Ermahgerd, this is SO CUTE!

Too much pink for my taste.

The pink is not as much to my liking, but the intensity of the color is really impressive!

Eew! Ick!

Well the sheen is surely commendable. (Said in a similar way that Lisa Anderson complimented the Esterbrook box!)

The colour is indeed evocative of the flowers, which have a cultural connotation in east Asian, especially Japanese cultures.

Truthfully, I do kinda like this color. But it also (at least on my screen) looks a lot like Diamine Passion Red (which I have -- although I don't think it sheens), so I can probably skip this one.

Thanks for the review -- inks I don't want are a lot better for my bottom line than the "OOOH! WAAANT -- MUST HAAAAVE!" ones....

I am not a pink person but on this COLD day it is looking very nice.

Not a user of pink inks, but this reminds me of spring, which is a nice thought in the middle of February!

Okay, I love it. It is retina searing.

I have a bottle coming my way. Thank goodness for Vanness.

Yes, indeed! And try this ink on a variety of different papers! Here's the crazy gold sheen on Canson tracing paper:
