Customer Reviews
This went on lighter than it dried; and I couldn't see the shimmer as much when it was wet, but when I put it on Tomoe River paper, when it dried, the gold was very very brilliant. I have a modified Conklin with a Zebra G flex nib and specialized feed that I love dearly as it goes on beautifully, with super thin lines but big spread on the thicks, and the gold showed up on all the lines. The beauty was that where the ink is thicker it shows a darker green and it's spring green where it's thin. Beautifully bright. It does take a little while to dry, but that's a small price to pay for the beauty of the results.
I wasn't sure about this ink - it seemed like it might be too light or too bright to read easily. But it's a beautiful grass green, with a nice yellow-golden sheen that coordinates with the base colour in such a pretty way. It's a nice green on any paper, but flowing fast out of my Pilot Parallel on Tomoe River, it was cheerful and lovely, like a fresh Spring day, with plenty of shading and sheen!
Beautiful, vibrant color and just what I've come to expect from diamine. They never disappoint!
I love the shimmer in this and I loved the color it showed in the website but I felt that when I wrote with it it was much more of a yellow green then green
I used this on a demonstrator flex pen, and the glitter settles quite a bit on the section. You have to gently agitate the glitter (I do it by gently rolling the pen between my palms) every once in a while when writing so you have a continuous flow of ink + glitter. The glitter is clearly visible on both thin and thick strokes of my pen.When wet, It doesn't really seem as though there's any hint of gold in your writing, but once it dries, it's more visible. It's clearly seen under daylight (whether direct or indirect), but at night you have to angle it a bit in order to see it. Still, even when you can't clearly see the gold shimmer, you can see that there's something different about it.
