Sheen Fountain Pen Ink, Polar Glow, 50ml, Inkvent

It's a lovely ink. Flows well, behaves well (as you might expect from a Diamine ink). The color is lovely. A deep blue with hints of turquoise, paired with a stunning vivid red sheen. Quite the contrast, but I think it looks exceptional. The bottle is quite a strange and unique shape, as well.

FACTS: - Fountain Pen: LAMY Vista: Fine Tip Nib - 52GM2 Sakae Technical Paper: TomoeRiver A5 Notebook I absolutely dig this ink: Diamine Polar Glow Sheen 50ml. I purchased two bottles; because, one of my buddies uses this exact ink for his journal entries. The sheen is noticeable in every word I write. You can see the sheen in my picture; it looks much more vibrant and shiny in real life. It’s a beautiful red/maroon/copper sheen; and, it’s such a nice contrast blend with the blue ink. It makes the words pop on the paper in my journal, and the sheen adds personality to my journal entries. When my GF was reading my journal, she mentioned the ink added a visual appeal that made her want to look at every word like looking at a painting. Really nice. At times, I, myself, open my journal just to look at the words, which all of them, have the sheen. I will continue to buy this product for my fountain pens — I’m very pleased and happy with this fountain pen ink. Check 6! /s/ Alfonso Faustino

I want to tell you it’s awful and not to buy it so that there will be more left for me but alas, This Ink Is THE GOAT it’s beautiful. It dries quickly enough for me to not smear but slowly enough for perfect calligraphy. So easy to use and glides perfectly across fountain ink papers. It does soak through Moleskine but that is expected. I love it and you probably will too.

This sheens just like Sargasso Sea, but with a lighter blue and a way bigger range of shading. Nicely large and pretty bottle, flows well in all my pens, dries slower than non-sheening inks but not painfully slowly. Watch out if you're left-handed of course.

First of all, this is the most attractive navy blue ink I've ever seen. I have about 30 different bottles of fountain pen inks, but this is one of my favorites. It's smooth, works great in all of my fountain pens regardless of brands, and doesn't really feather on any of my paper, except for the cheapest brands. I would have definitely given this gorgeous ink five stars, but it doesn't have any of the advertised qualities that drew me to the ink in the first place. There is no blue to red gradient. At all. None on Clairefontaine Rhodia paper, none on stationery, none on Mintgreen, or Five Star, or journal paper, or even the dollar tree crap that I use for scratch paper. This assessment includes ef nibs, medium nibs, flat, bladed nibs, or even cotton swabs, whether you shake the bottle first or not. No sheen, either. On occasion, I see a faint tinge of dark purple around the edge of a navy line, and that's about it. Despite the fact that it doesn't do any of that, the gorgeous shade of blue can't be ignored. It has the beautiful quality you'd expect from a diamine ink, and a very lovely, no-clot flow regardless of what type or brand of pen I have put it in. I have zero complaints. It will likely remain in my top three go-to inks. If it had been as advertised, I'd have given it five stars. Highly recommend as long as you manage your expectations.

This is one of my favorite inks. It has a very nice color change. I wouldn't call it a sheener though. It looks a lot like Nitro but without the sheen. Also, it is quite well tempered. I just leave it in my pen full time.

This is our first sheening ink so we don't have any other references but we love this ink!

I love to use these sparkle and sheen inks on a normal day and regular paper doesn’t allow you to see the sheen, it absorbs the ink. If you have high quality paper and a pen that allow the in to be a bit wet on the paper once it dries you can see the pink sheen.

Preciosa tinta! Incluso con plumines finos se aprecia (con buena luz) los matices azules/rojizos

Tinta muito bonita com um shade de bordô, de fácil manutenção, não entope as canetas. Fiquei fã

Diamine INKvent polar glow is bright blue with high shade and high pink sheen. Lovely colour with decent shade ... Looks extremely good when written with lamy 2000 medium nib

Diamine è una marca di inchiostri con un elevato rapporto qualità/prezzo. Quello in oggetto, proviene da una collezione realizzata per il calendario d'avvento 2019 (Inkvent blue '19), entrato poi in linea di produzione regolare. Flusso e lubrificazione molto buoni, colore saturo e pieno di variazioni (shading) dal turchese al blu elettrico. Su carta adeguata (Non quella da fotocopie, reciclata, ecc.), liscia e adatta a stilografiche mostra dei frequenti riflessi vinaccia/marrone. Molto bello. Anche per uso quotidiano, visto il prezzo, più che adeguato

Encre superbe, bonne fluidité, bleu profond avec des reflets rouges.
