Initially launched as part of the 2019 Diamine InkVent calendar and now a part of the regular Diamine Blue Edition collection, this fuchsia-sheening Happy Holidays blue fountain pen ink features added blue shimmer. Works best with broader nibs on high quality paper to really see the shine. Comes in a 50ml glass bottle.

Due to the amount of particulate in this ink used to achieve the sparking look, you may experience restricted ink flow in some of your pens. We recommend shaking the ink thoroughly before filling and gently rolling the pen in your hands often to keep the shimmer effect consistent. This will also help prevent clogging. You will also want to be diligent about cleaning and maintaining your pen when using this ink.

Beautiful ink with amazing effects

I really love Diamine Happy Holidays! I have used it for a couple of different projects, one with a fountain pen with a broad nib, and one with a glass dip pen and paintbrush. It works so well in both types of pens. Flows freely, and the sheen and shimmer are lovely. There is less shimmer with the fountain pen, but that's to be expected. I also love the bottle, it looks so pretty sitting on my desk!

Flowed fine, the color was very festive feeling.

I will enjoy this ink for holiday cards to my friends for years to come.

Much darker than expected

Love everything Diamine but this color is much more blue and much darker than the website indicates.

Totally awesome

This is a great ink, my first sheening and ink. It handles great paired with the Goulet #5 nib. The bottle is great too, very stable and well made.

Seriously Beautiful

This ink is the most beautiful ink I have. The icy teal shimmer and the red sheen with the dark blurple color is a gorgeous combination! The sheen and shimmer even show up in my extra fine TWSBi Vac 700 r! In the photograph provided I tried to showcase the shimmer and sheen with a calligraphy nib - you can't even tell there's a blurple base haha. In a pen it really is lovely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which pens can accept this ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink. You can also refill an empty ink cartridge from bottled ink using an ink syringe.

Is shimmering ink safe to use in fountain pens? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes! Shimmering ink (a fountain pen ink that has small particles of glitter mixed in) is a great way to add some flare to your writing. We have found that a larger nib will showcase more shimmering particles while writing, but you can use any nib size with shimmering ink. While it is safe to use in fountain pens, it may require a little extra maintenance.

Due to the amount of particulate in this ink used to achieve the sparking look, you may experience restricted ink flow in some of your pens, especially with finer nibs.

We recommend shaking the ink thoroughly before filling, and gently rolling the pen in your hands often to keep the shimmer effect consistent. This will also help prevent clogging.

You will also want to be diligent about regularly cleaning and maintaining your pen when using this ink.
