Diamine Shimmertastic Ink Bottle - Starlit Sea captures the drama of night water in motion: a rich blue base illuminated by a lively pink sparkle. On the page, the contrast between cool tone and warm shimmer creates a dimensional, almost celestial effect that stands out in journaling, cards, and creative lettering.
Color & Shimmer
This shimmering fountain pen ink pairs a deep, oceanic blue with suspended pink particles that catch the light as strokes dry. Gently agitate the bottle or converter before filling and occasionally during long writing sessions to keep the shimmer evenly dispersed.
Writing Experience
The shimmer shows best in medium to broad nibs and on fountain-pen-friendly papers, where the particles have room to settle and sparkle. As with all shimmer inks, regular cleaning helps maintain reliable flow. Paper choice can influence appearance; smoother, coated sheets typically reveal more brilliance and reduce feathering.
