Do you have any inks that you wanted to buy after reading great reviews that turned out less exciting than expected?

My biggest disappointment is Diamine Skull & Roses. After seeing swatches online I expected a blue ink with a visible red sheen. Unfortunately the sheen is just not there at all, it looks like an average dark blue ink, not even blurple. I’m glad I’ve only bought the 30 ml bottle.

    Diamine Syrah. People were raving about it and Diamine makes one of the few inks in my permanent rotation, so I was really disappointed to find that Syrah was poorly behaved and ultimately a shade that didn’t do much for me either.

      I like Diamine inks a lot, perfect price to effect ratio :-) and made in Europe. It is just this one that’s lacking in the sheen department.
