Diamine 2017 Shimmer Frosted Orchid

[Bhavna]

What a beautiful, sweet ink. I don't know how to describe the colour and it has been really hard to photograph it. Think damson, a deep berry colour with a hint of brown, dark grapes that have that silver frosting effect, its that colour. The shading is lovely as is the silver frosting. I have really enjoyed this ink. I am not an artist by any stretch of the imagination, but I LOVE orchids, so I thought I'd attempt to draw one. I am sure your cat could do better, if you had one that can draw, but I am happy with my effort and assured that I must never give up my day job!

Think I can pass on this one. I'm not fond of most burgundies or brownish reds (they tend to look like dried blood). And the silver dust is nice, but not enough to hide the underlying color.

Thanks for the review, though.

You're welcome. I agree, not fond of the dried blood look either.
