Vinta Piloncitos

[lgsoltek]

Many thanks to inkantadora for the sample.

 

Vinta Piloncitos is a light greenish brown colour with golden shimmering particles. There's a pinkish tone where the ink pools. The flow is somewhat dry with little lubrication which makes you feel like writing with a blade on sandpaper. The particles seem rather large in size and unevenly distributed. Personally I'm indifferent to shimmering inks, and while this is quite a curious colour, the lack of lubrication puts me off.

Thanks for another great review. Interesting color!

Beautiful colors and the shimmer. Reminds me a lot of Troublemaker Kelp Tea for the range of hues. Probably not for me due to the translucency and shimmer, but I can see it being a great art ink.

 

Your splash looks like a face looking to the right, with a kind of green hair clumps on the top and top left. Or else a stylized head on fire

Interesting color. Not sure it's for me, but it's interesting. Thanks for the review.

I haven't heard of this brand before. Where's it out of?

Oh that is gorgeous!

Vinta inks are from the Philippines; Vanness has them for sale, among others, with swabs to show the colors available.

Thanks. I'll check out their website tomorrow (er, today, since it's after midnight). Vanness often has inks before any other US retailer gets them (for the longest time they were the ONLY place to get Akkerman inks outside of the Akkerman store in the Hague).

Great review! I really like the colour, but the glimmer is a showstopper for me (I really don’t like glimmer-inks). But that colour... it’s so beautiful...

[Tas]

Lovely review, as ever.

 

Thank you.

Hey! Im glad I gave you this one even if you dislike it 🙃 Seeing your splashes makes me happy. I actually prefer this one for art or in writing sessions with uber wet nibs. Its a weird color, which makes it totally my cup of tea, though I know its not for all.

Very Nice reviuw

 

 

Love that green colour but not sure whether I am a fan of Shimmering inks.... But they seem to be ruling nowadays

Beautiful. How do you feel about this color vs J Herbin Vert Empire?

What is this, oh my goodness. A drab muted olive green with sparkles? It's like an introvert person trying to act like an extrovert, totally unexpected and bizarre.

I have no idea. I've never tried Vert Empire (can you imagine that!).

I kinda like the colour (sans the particles).
