Hey Honeys! Day 12 of the Diamine Inkvent Calendar brings us Festive Cheer, a colour that left me with more questions than holiday spirit. It’s supposed to be a shimmer ink, but this bottle was suspiciously shimmer-free, even though it was fresh out of the pack. Did the sparkle get lost in…

G’day, Honeys! Day 6 of the Diamine Inkvent Calendar has brought us Nutcracker, a brown ink that, well… exists. I’ll be honest, it’s not the most exciting addition to the calendar. It’s a standard nutty brown, and while I know brown inks have their die-hard fans—and I can see why for some…
