As much as it pains me [ ], I hate to say that some of the Diamine Shimmertastic inks are somewhat less than original. Last year, following the suggestions of TheRealScubaSteve, I bought some Pfeil & Holing Luster Dust, and added it to some inks that were decent, but not exceptional. These are my two favorites:

 

 

 

 

AND...

 

 

I have to say that the Kon-Peki on Tomoe River has amazing RED sheen!

 

Just sayin' ...

HalloweenHJB-

The first was Pfeil & Holing Luster Dust COPPER, and the second was Pfeil & Holing Luster Dust PEARL. Got it, as you might imagine, on Amazon.

 

Best to you this holiday season!

I went to see if these were still available since I bought them last March, and it looks like no. At least, not in the economy size...

HalloweenHJB-

What pen were you using and could you recommend a good medium nib pen for a beginner for everyday use?

 

Thanks

To display the inks in the original post, I use an italic dip nib because it's easy to clean and gives a bold line to see the properties of the ink.

 

For daily use with a medium nib, that depends on your budget. My recommendation for almost anyone starting out is PELIKAN because their pens are so easy to use, easy to clean and are well made. Look for a Pelikan 200 or 205 demonstrator (translucent color) with a medium nib, and I think you'll be pleased.

 

If you prefer a converter (interior cartridge that you can use to fill ink from a bottle) to a piston (a knob at the end of the pen that fills the body with ink from a bottle), then there are inexpensive Waterman pens (their "Expert", for example) that are very nice and less expensive than Pelikans.

 

Best of luck!
