Today’s review is another for the definitely not peach files. In fact, I would have slotted this one in with the Living Coral of 2019 inks! Kobe #12 Okamoto Pink ($30 for 50mL) is a bright pinky coral ink with beautiful shading. There’s no sheen, but tons of lovely pinks and corals. It reminds me…

Sailor Jentle Peche (spoiler alert – it’s not peach!)
Recently Ana handed me a few more samples for the “peach files” that I’ve been putting together this year. But the spoiler is that today’s ink isn’t peach at all, it’s pink!

Ink Review: Sailor Manyo, Anniversary Set
There’s a new release from Sailor Manyo inks – a 5th Anniversary limited edition! I find it hard to believe that nearly five years has passed since I reviewed the first round of Sailor Manyo inks. Since that time, Sailor has added to the Manyo lineup with a second full round and four dual shading…

Ink Review: Troublemaker Nenita and Moon River

These can both be found at Vanness where the 60 mL bottles can be purchased for $16.50. I appreciate the minimal packaging…
