Golden Sands - Diamine

[visvamitra]

Some time ago Diamine felt the urge to follow example of J. Herbin - they've decided to hit the market of glittering inks. The line of Shimmertastic inks premiered in 2015. Personally I dislike shimmering inks / inks with particles. I didn't expect to like this line. A friend of mine bought full line and sent me the whole bottles to review. I've tried them all. I don't like them but I'll review them. Maybe you'll like them more than me?

 

After strong punch from Diamine that offered ten colors I wonder with what 1670 ink J. Herbin will come this year?

 

Anyway there's ten inks in the line:

 

1. Blue Lightning
2. Blue Pearl
3. Brandy Dazzle
4. Golden Sands
5. Magical Forest
6. Night Sky
7. Purple Pazzazz
8. Red Luster
9. Shimmering Seas
10. Sparkling Shadows

Six with golden particles

And four with silver particles

GOLDEN SANDS

 

Golden Sands is light but legible yellow ink with nice shading.

I hate this one. The colour is gorgeous, but it just can't work with my flex pens. It's so watery and keeps railroading.

I'm qurious, would you put this type of ink into, say a M nib instead of a calligraphy pen?
