my pens came so guess it's time for the start of #OpalsInkSwatches
diamine regency blue is from their 150th anniversary collection. i'm fussy about blues and love the swatch but it writes darker, especially on off white paper
diamine sailor's warning is the first shimmering ink i bought. with finer nibs you don't get much of the shimmer but when you do the sparkle looks both blue and pink
you can see the shimmer of sailor's warning a bit better in the video here, pls trust that it's lovely irl
the swatches are made with a non branded brush pen and 250gsm round corner business cards. the writing is with a 0.5mm nib jinhao fountain pen, nothing fancy or expensive but i'm quite pleased with my new system
because i've never been normal about any of my hobbies in my life i bought the wearinguel swatch cards so my little inks look prettier, look how cute they are

@threeofswords oh nice Sailor’s Warning. What do you think of it? Of the two Reddit inks this year I think I’m more interested in this one over Celadon Cat.
@paradoxmo i quite like it, i have it in a 1.1mm nib atm and the red is definitely less saturated when writing with that than this swatch shows but the shimmer's nice. i don't have celadon cat but i'm much more interested in reds than blues anyway!!
