Swatching our Top 5 Blue Inks!

[@cindihinnendael6197]

I’d like to see your best sellers shading inks. I will only use ink that shades. No sheen or sparkles…just shading. ❤️

[@heathergleiser]

The inks are pretty but May’s nails are the star of the show! Those look amazing.

[@blakezimmerman]

Great video! I would love to see a top 5 purple inks video in the future :)

[@maxvanbalgooy]

The best sellers for blue are a surprise-they’re not the typical ones I expected. Nice to be introduced to some different inks.

[@gabrielangeles185]

Love the same ink comparison concept - great for newbies and experienced alike 👍🏽

[@Jessieannnwade]

Love this video! I think it’d be cool to see the top sellers from different color tones as well, ie: top light blue inks, top dark pink/burgundy inks, top warm-green ink colors, etc. (I know this might sound nuts haha.)

[@imcatnappen]

i’d like to see the top pigment inks overall ! i have cats that love my journals so much that they will have bath time on them so i tend to favor water-resistant/proof inks🥴

[@NameLikeNobodyElse]

Such a cat thing. Why do they have to be like that? I rarely turned in a school art project that the cat didn't crunch by getting on it.

[@imcatnappen]

@@NameLikeNobodyElse someone told me that cats try to mimic their owners and routines as a way to try to bond with them🥺❤️

[@Yoseka]

omg I've never heard of someone using waterproof inks for this reason! I love it hahaha

[@ChantelleArts]

This is beyond satisfying ☺☺

[@LaRueNeilson]

I would love to see this for each color family - red, pink, green, purple, etc

[@the_stationery_writer]

Lennon Tool Bar Cloudy Day is like my favorite ink everrrr 🔥 🔥

[@senior_ranger]

Surprised at not a single traditional blue in there. Two suggestions. First, use multiple, different papers for each ink. Most inks perform differently (sometimes greatly) on different types of paper. Two, when swatching with a glass dip pen, use a plastic cup for rinsing. A glass cup increases the possibility of damaging the nib. Thanks.

[@Yoseka]

Thanks for the suggestions! Good point about swatching them on different papers :) We do use a plastic cup for rinsing - we learned from having a couple of these break on us!! haha

[@Sarahwritesletters]

I'd love to see this video but for pink inks !

[@RoyKarny]

Love the comparisons, funny that bestselling are hard to use in fountain pens. What about best reviewed fountain pens comparisons?

[@HeidiRaatz]

So interesting! I wonder if folks use these lighter colours more for art (ink washes, for example) than for writing. (p s. your nails are insane, May. I'd totally hurt myself if I tried wearing those. 😜😂)

[@2152133]

Can we get a video of everyone’s favorite fountain pen ink for writing?

[@ladyamalthea85]

Those nails are amazing. I really enjoyed this, seeing how different the blues are. Cloudy Day is my favourite.

[@SunshineFL]

Blue is my favorite color.

[@doesitpost280]

You can save money on dip pens with those nails!

[@SunshineFL]

What is the dip pen you are using called.

[@senior_ranger]

Looks to me like the standard R & K, but they will have to confirm.

[@Yoseka]

The one we used is the J Herbin straight glass dip pen! :)

[@blktauna]

That Lennon Tool Bar Cloudy Day is green/gray. Ink Institute Cat At Dusk is not blue either. Celadon is not blue... its a green. The last one... That is a glorious blue. I've never tried an Ink Institute before. Nekoyanagi is purple, not blue.

[@Yoseka]

Hahah our interpretation of blue is causing a stir! I guess these are more in the blue family :)

[@manuelespinosa724]

I wish there was a water resistant ink...

[@SunshineFL]

Cool❤

[@rgcainmd]

I can’t believe people actually write with the super-light inks. They aren’t even legible when used in a fountain pen!

[@Yoseka]

Maybe in a Broad nib? :)

[@inessebastiao3887]

Half of these aren't blue....

[@frederickbonnet2351]

Nails are creepy
