NEW INK DAY: Van Dieman's Night Series

Описание: In today's video, we're swatching samples of the newest series from Van Diemans, the Night series! This series includes a few reformulations from the previous Midnight series (Blackened Seas, Twilight Mist, and Bonfire Night), as well as 13 new inks! I'm a total Van Dieman's fan girl, so I'm excited for these swatches.

For some spoilers, I like the reformulations. I like the new shimmers Van Dieman's is using... I think the shimmer matching or corresponding with the ink color is a fun touch - makes it sparkle but maybe not as overpowering as the previous shimmer used. I think the colors are great. I'm not as fond of the swatches of the sheeners as I thought I would be, but I'm excited to try these in pens to make a better informed decision.
