Can we see a smudge or swab to get some idea of the base colour please?

Diamine A Leap of Faith
Diamine Regency Blue
Troublemaker Blueberry
Akkerman Shocking Blue

A Leap of Faith was on my wishlist until I concluded that it was highly unlikely to become available again…
I’d say that that one and Shocking Blue are moving in the right direction.

[thi]

There we go with the guesses!
Still none of those.
Yes, it’s very sheeny. I’ll try and get some more pictures up later.
I realize now that Cosmo Air Light was probably not a helpful choice of paper for this one.

Diamine Saragossa sea? Bilberry?

[thi]

Nope, sorry Yazeh and sorry everyone!
This pen has been inked for a while, and it does seem to have concentrated somewhat, though not terribly so.
I got this I ink as a freebie sample included with an order because I spend too much at this retailer…
It does mean I can’t freshen up the ink in the pen, but I can go back to the initial swatch.

I hope that helps!

Diamine Polar Glow
Diamine Jack Frost
Diamine Majestic Blue

[thi]

Very good guesses!
I think I like Polar Glow more than this ink actually…
No shimmer in this ink, and not Diamine.

(That is months old sheen that doesn’t wipe off!)

And with that I am going to dinner.

[thi]

I just realized I don’t have any FPR inks, and I think I’m going to remedy that…

There are some really gorgeous inks listed above, but it’s none of them.

If you know the story of this ink, you might see how the quote applies.
Think about it as being from the ink’s point of view…
It’s a relatively recent ink!

Pilot blue black
Pilot blue?

[DrPenfection]

Namiki Blue (is that different than Pilot Blue? - my bottle doesn't even say Pilot on it).

[thi]

More inks that I've bought, sampled, are on their way, or are on my wishlist.
Not there yet...

Now here's a clue that may seem in conflict with the last one!
This ink is no longer available!

[thi]

Namiki Blue (is that different than Pilot Blue? - my bottle doesn't even say Pilot on it).

I've been told that these two inks are the same, though the bottles are different.
I seem to recall the Namiki bottles being the more economical buy (in the 60mL-70mL range), unless you're talking about getting the really big bottles.

Blackstone Sydney Harbor Blue
Blackstone Barrister Blue
Troublemaker Simoun
Troublemaker Blue Guitar

[thi]

Now I realize that I'm going to get a list of lovely inks that I will want, but can't have...
None of those. Sorry DrPenfection!

I'll go ahead and add that the brand has been named...
