Colorverse Witch by Moonlight - 30ml Bottled Ink
A special edition Goulet exclusive ink that is a follow up to our best selling Witch by Starlight! This 30ml glass bottle of Colorverse blue/purple ink with added rose gold shimmer was made just for Goulet Pens. When it's wet it is blue, but it dries to a lavender purple ink.
This color was inspired by and named after the Witch Head Nebula, and designed with a color separation effect like the Nebula cosmic fog.
Colorverse inks are made in South Korea.
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
This is my favorite ink!!! I use it daily with an ultra flex nib. Gorgeous shading and plenty dark. No flow problems with the right nib. I need to stock up on this ink. I wish it came in larger bottles.
frankly, it's just too pale to write with. might be nice to use for adding accents, but not very functional.
First of all, I use a small paint brush and also a toothpick to sample inks on HP 32# Premium copy paper and also cards meant for ink samples. And I only write with fine and extra-fine, sometimes medium point nibs, never broad and wider.
The color on the sample above looks light purplish. This is not what I get on the cards and paper. It is more of a gray-bl;ue with teal or aqua-marine splotches. The lines from the toothpick show mostly that teal like color.
For the ink that looks like the swatch above, I have decided to stick with Diamine Nightshade which I think is beautiful, but a little light. The Moonlight ink does have a little glitter to it which I wish the Nightshade did. I will not be putting this ink in a pen.
Light but beautiful. It is the perfect match for my new Franklin Cristoph pen
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.
You can learn more in our blog: How to Write with Shimmering Ink.
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!
