Diamine - Jack Frost
Part of Diamine’s 2019 Inkvent calendar, Jack Frost is a shimmering, sheen-packed, winter dream! This ink seems to get a lot of attention, and for good reason! These days, Jack Frost is available in the Blue Edition series in a beautiful, legged, presentation bottle.
This is a beautiful, rich, bright mid-blue. It’s a blue that really pops! Like a field of frost on a winter night, there’s a shimmer that coats the blue with a pillowy, platinum blanket of sparkles. In wetter areas, edges, and areas of pooling, a pink-red siren of sheen swirls and generously completes Jack Frost’s parade of visuals.
Don’t think this ink is all show, though. As a writing ink, it performs very well. I haven’t seen even a trace of feathering, strokes are clean and crisp, and it dries quite quickly. Both the shimmer and edge sheen are as strong here, as they are on the swatch.
In Jack Frost, Diamine has created a beautiful ink that is full of charm and character. It’s pure, absolute fun!
