Diamine Pink Glitz - 50ml Bottled Ink
Part of Diamine’s Shimmertastic collection, this Pink Glitz fountain pen ink features added gold shimmer. Works best with broader nibs on high quality paper to really see the shine. Comes in a 50ml glass bottle.
Due to the amount of particulate in this ink used to achieve the sparking look, you may experience restricted ink flow in some of your pens. We recommend shaking the ink thoroughly before filling and gently rolling the pen in your hands often to keep the shimmer effect consistent. This will also help prevent clogging. You will also want to be diligent about cleaning and maintaining your pen when using this ink.

Customer Reviews
Paired with my Benu Euphoria Confetti Milkshake, writing with this ink was like writing with the oozey center of a gloriously appetizing, ruby red grapefruit hard candy. The picture doesn't do proper justice. It's absolutely glorious, in person.
I use this ink in my pink Pineider Avatar UR pen (fine nib), and the color is perfect! The sparkle that it leaves on the page makes my heart just a little happier every time I use it.
Love this ink. The shimmer is amazing
I decidedly have two kinds of preferences when it comes to fountain pen inks; for basic inks, they need to have the usability of disposable pens, but when it comes to special inks, the flair can't be high maintenance. Diamante suits that bill. I tried a few brands (the De Atramentis, in particular was gorgeous) but stopped when I got the sampler of Diamante's. I don't think it's less glitzy, but it doesn't clog as much whilst in use. I had the De Atramentis in a demonstrator, and I could see as well as sense that the glitter would settle whilst I was writing. I am loving Diamante's Pink Glitz most of all. In particular, the pink is not too light/neon/magenta for my taste - another said it was nearly red. I would concur, that it is a warm dark magenta, bordering on red - but you get gorgeous lighter tones at times when the ink shades. I also noticed that the ink doesn't seep as much through certain papers, but when you get glitter, those areas take longer to avoid smearing. My tip is not to store the pen with the nip down - I have had major clogs in the nib because of the glitter!
I use this in my Kaweco Sport (it's a good match for the 'Pink' color), though I wish I'd picked a pen with and easier-to-clean converter! This ink is so beautiful on Rhodia and Leuchtturm paper.
FAQs about Bottled Ink
Which pens can accept this ink?
Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink.
What is shading, sheening, or shimmering ink?
Shading - A common (and often desired) result of a fountain pen ink pooling in certain parts of a letter when writing, so that the color and saturation of the ink appears different within a single letter or word. This characteristic cannot be achieved with ballpoint or rollerball pens and is a very appealing aspect of fountain pen use for those particularly drawn to all the pretty ink colors.
Sheen - Characteristic of a fountain pen ink where when ink pools another color can be seen on top of the ink, especially when looked at in different light angles using certain paper types. There is no way to guarantee an ink will sheen, but using a larger nib on a pen will help obtain sheening results in your writing.
Shimmering - Fountain pen ink that has small particles of glitter mixed in.
Is shimmering ink safe to use in fountain pens?
Yes! Shimmering ink is a great way to add some flare to your writing. We have found that a larger nib will showcase more shimmering particles while writing, but you can use any nib size and shimmering ink. All the ink we sell is safe for use in fountain pens.

My ink smells funny, is it safe to use?
Generally yes! Ink does not smell good- it usually has a chemical smell, along with other scents such as sulfur, rubber, chemicals or even paint. However, as long as you’re not seeing anything floating in the ink, it should be safe to use.
It’s cold and my ink froze; is it safe to use?
Yes, frozen ink will not hurt your pen (after it’s thawed of course!) The issue with ink freezing is primarily a concern because certain glass bottles could break as the water-based ink expands, and then you’d have a mess!
