#Inkvent Day 8: Dream Catcher
It’s extreme sheen blue time! Following on the heels of last years Cosmic Glow and Vibe, but very much the sheeniest of them all. I love them a normal amount.

From the state of my blotting tissues, it’s probably quite effective on bandages.

No you nailed it. I can’t unsee it.

#Inkvent Day 7: Blush
They may! Not sure what they were thinking here. A red-pink standard, that just looks like real blood (in the triggering, rather than fun or dramatic way). Was like drawing with raw steak. Retch inducing. It’s a solid no from me 👎🏼

They are the worst. I still bite it from the base of the bottle and peel up. It feels like you can get better purchase there. One day I will plan ahead and put some nail scissors on the table.

#Inkvent Day 6: Fir and Fog
A chameleon. I was so happy with the colour I completely missed it had shimmer too. Lovely shades. I like this one a lot.

I had to Google to check. Because the only type I’ve had is the bright pink ketchup and mayo cheapo version. The M&S Marie Rose looks quite brown, so Diamine must buy the fancy stuff!

Thanks 😁 found them about the same for me. The first time I used it on a test page it slid straight off the nib in a splat. Much preferred the 2024 scents though. I could still smell this one hours later and I wish I couldn’t. ☹️

#Inkvent Day 5: Marie-Rose
Well, this is a grower. Was expecting pink. It goes on a basic pale brown, but it dries to a glorious peachy-gold. I’ve been pissed the shimmer from last years Salted Caramel clogs my Hongdian M2 Ef nib. This will do very nicely as an alternative. I’m a little obsessed.

Day 4 Outtakes: As with last year the scented ink is like catnip for the AoC. Who I can thank for most of the smudges.

#Inkvent Day 4: Smoky Tobacco
A scented ink. Now, I love the smell of tobacco, but this is not that. Patchouli, sandal wood maybe. Like cheap cologne that lingers. I like a brown ink, but the colour is just okay. It is very wet. Lots of smudges. All in all disappointing.

If you are Uk based dingbats are great, lots of options and the paper is perfect for fountain pens.

#Inkvent Day 3: Carousel.
Well! Had to Google this one, an earthy red pigment ink. Loved seeing how differently it acted with water. Hard to capture the very subtle gold sheen. Stunning in the bottle. Like something you’d fake a gunshot with on a Nile Cruise. *twiddles teeny Belgian moustache*

I spent the first ten mins looking at Garfield going “is that Nick Offerman… it looks kind of like him.. I think it is…” then actual Nick Offerman came out and punched someone. No idea who actually played Garfield or anyone else. But the white haired guy was from West Wing, if it helps.
