The ink is very shimmery but when I write with it, it is very dry and the shimmer is very light. This may be because I have a extra fine nib on the TWSBI.

Unlike some other shimmer inks I've tried, the Shimmertastics have never clogged my pens. I had some Red Lustre in a stub-nib pen left from last Christmas, and it still writes well. Magical Forest is my other Christmas go-to ink and it performs the same. These are great inks with a lot of shimmer.

This was a random sample and I put in a Twsbi Eco. Wow! Looks so pretty in the pen and writes smoothly and shimmers too. I enjoy it and look forward to purchasing a bottle.

Not exciting for me.

This is the worst of both worlds with shimmering inks. Either there's no glitter or the shimmer is so dominant that you can't see the green underneath. It often writes VERY dry, uncomfortably so, even in a pen that I've never suffered flow problems before. I was constantly having to floss the tines, and that only worked for a few pages. But then sometimes it would dump down so much ink that it feathered and bled through on Rhodia. It was unpleasant to write with. And impossible to clean! I didn't end up going through the converter. I flushed the feed using a bulb syringe twice with Goulet pen flush and almost a dozen times with water and still some glitter is left! And I might have to just throw away the converter all together. I simply cannot get the glitter out of it. I hate to be so negative, but this is hands-down the worst ink I've ever used. I don't understand it.
