"Not uninteresting" but still -- as said twice above -- not really an Arctic blue (IMO).

My bottle arrived from the UK earlier this week (largely due to this and other FPN reviews!). OK, maybe a bit to deep to be an 'Arctic' blue, but it's a truly spectacular ink!

Congratulations!! I couldn't agree more, it is spectacular. I shan't be splitting hairs about nomenclature. It's a fabulous ink that is so well behaved. How lucky are we to have such a vast array of colours and characteristics to enjoy.

Ive got a bottle coming in tomorrow and Im pretty excited about it! Interested to see how it fits in with Diamine tropical glow and lightning blue. Lightening blue is one of my all time favorites. Thanks for the review!

Someday the mountain might get em but the law never will.........

I received my bottle and did some testing. This one is very different than the other shimmering Diamine inks. It’s highly saturated. I don’t have a shimmering ink like that! If you let the pen set open for a bit the first stroke is a reflective red and then settles back to a metallic blue. I really love that! I have some other non shimmering Diamine inks like that, looking at you Sargasso Sea, but none that are shimmering. Very cool ink and worth getting!
