Do you have any inks that you wanted to buy after reading great reviews that turned out less exciting than expected?
My biggest disappointment is Diamine Skull & Roses. After seeing swatches online I expected a blue ink with a visible red sheen. Unfortunately the sheen is just not there at all, it looks like an average dark blue ink, not even blurple. I’m glad I’ve only bought the 30 ml bottle.
I do not know the particular ink, but what paper have you tried it on? I see very big difference depending on paper :)
It’s fun with inks - sometimes I’m really sure I’m gonna enjoy it - but I don’t. But just as often it’s the other way around.
On good paper, Midori. The sheen is just hardly noticeable. There are several other sheen inks in that series and Hell’s Bells is the one with the most noticeable sheen.
