Great gold ink!
I feel like it's hard to get a true 'gold' ink without going a more opaque acrylic ink that isn't compatible with fountain pens.However, this one does a fine job. I love the way it dries on various papers. Just make sure you roll your fountain pen in your hand a bit before writing to re-mix the shimmer particles. Do NOT leave this ink in your pens for a long time, and never store your fountain pens nib-down when loaded with this ink or you WILL experience clogging.Be careful after this ink has dried - this one will shed some of its shimmer when touched.

Shiny
I like the sparkly ink. Have a fine tip or larger to get the effects of it.

Pretty ink that's best is wet writing pens.
I really do enjoy this ink, as it really is quite beautiful after it dries. You have to use a non absorbent paper such as tomoe river, or clairefontaine otherwise the sparkle soaks into the page and disappears. Few things I have noticed are as follows. 1 if you don't use a wet writing pen the color is more yellow than golden. It is best for medium or broad nib sizes. 2 it dries kind of slowly, that's probably due to the lesser absorbent paper. This could be a problem if you're trying to write something down quickly and then close your notebook or turn the page, however if you want to see that sparkle it's worth the wait. 3 it is not water resistant at all, but this doesn't bother me because I don't really need to worry about water getting on my page. 4 I didn't leave it in my fountain pen for very long (2weeks or so) so I didn't have this problem but I've heard shimmering inks can clog pens on occasion, especially finer sized nibs. It was a bit difficult getting all the shimmer out of the feed in my twsbi vac700r demonstrator, but boy did it look BEAUTIFUL sloshing around inside. Like liquid gold! All in all a really pretty ink, I only remove one star for it looking more yellow in pens that dont write wet.

Great emerald green with some shimmer
Fantastic emerald green with silver shimmer that doesn’t clog my pen. The ink dries well, and doesn’t smear overly easy. You will need to shake your pen often if you want the shimmer effect to be consistent, but it writes well regardless.

Beautiful shimmery ink
This ink is gorgeous. Because my fountain pen's nib is broken, I'm using this with a dip pen, so your mileage may vary. I find that it is very necessary to shake the bottle well to mix the shimmery bits through the ink. Because I'm dipping, at first the ink is dark, almost black, but lightens to gray fairly quickly. I love the way the ink lays down on the paper—use quality paper, please. Even when I used it with my fountain pen before I dropped the nib on a hardwood floor, the shimmer inclusions did not gum up with works of the pen or clog the feed. I'm very pleased, and when I get my replacement pen, I will definitely buy more of this in other colors!

Beautiful Ink
This ink is more on the wet side but I still think the color and silvery sheen is pretty and much worth the purchase, especially on cream color paper. I have used it in 2 fountain pens but it needs shaking quite often to keep the silver suspended so I use it with a glass pen and that solves all the shaking of the bottle. I use an eye dropper and place a few drops in a the smaller bottom groove of an acrylic nail glass dappen dish which makes stirring it up very quick and an easy load on the glass nib.
