Hi, I'm looking for a pink ink with dramatic shading or sheening. So far, I've tried:

 

1. Iroshizuku Kosumosu - a little too boring for my tastes, no shading/sheening in my TWSBI Eco B

2. Private Reserve Shell Pink - same as Kosumosu

3. J Herbin Rouille D'ancre - waaaaaay too unsaturated

4. De Atramentis Apple Blossom - too dark

 

I've heard that Iroshizuku Yama-budo has amazing sheen, but again, it's too dark; I'm looking for something either brighter or softer (as in pastel-ish).

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much. :)

Check out the pink thread in my signature line. Have you tried Tsutsuji?

In the right nib, Yama-Budo has a glorious gold sheen. My default pen for Y-B is a Safari, medium nib. Sheen is especially visible as the need to refill approaches; but it appears at other times, depending on paper.

My vote is for Iroshizuku Tsutsuji, this is a stunning shade of pink. I have had many comments from coworkers who say how much they like it. I just ordered another bottle and I'm only half way through my first.

Give Iroshizuku Tsutsuji a try. It's much brighter than Yama Budo and has quite a bit of sheen with the right paper (Tomoe River paper is great and shows sheen on many inks that aren't known for it, though you pay for it with very long dry times).
