When Ana returned from the Chicago Planner Conference last week she told me she brought me a little something. It turns out that while shopping at Atlas Stationers, she brought me a peach ink: Endless Alchemy Stardust Magic Peach Fuzz (45mL for $20).
Now maybe I’m biased, but this might be my favorite peach ink that I’ve reviewed. This one manages to be both soft, and orangey, just like the flesh of a ripe peach. It shades beautifully.
The Stardust inks are supposed to have a shimmer to them. Magic Peach Fuzz has a white shimmer to it. While the bottle already contains some shimmer, an additional vial of extra shimmer is added in the packaging so you can up the shimmer factor if you so desire. The instructions caution to try the ink first. I’ll be honest – I shook the bottle up and dug to the deep recesses of the bottom and, while I could see the shimmer within the ink, I don’t see it on any of my swatches. I even added a bit extra, and still didn’t see it.
That said, I kind of dig this ink. It wrote beautifully and dried relatively quickly. You know I’ve been on a quest this year to find peach inks. While I initially started out with the goal of finding one that matched the Pantone color of the year, I’ve sort of been looking for the right ink.
You can see here that Magic Peach Fuzz is between Ferris Wheel Press Definitely Peachy and Diamine’s Peach Haze. If I were doing a gradient, I think these three would fit together well. Magic Peach Fuzz is more orange and less ethereal than Definitely Peachy, but no where near as intense neon as Peach Haze. It’s sort of the perfect shade in between. A balance of delicate and very readable.
So no magic shimmer, but a lovely shade I’m inclined to keep using. The choice is yours!
