Today I will be reviewing what might turn out to be another favorite shimmer ink! Enchanted Ocean is a steel blue with glitter and sheen.

I found this ink to have an average, consistent flow. The glitter does not smear off and makes the ink cool-toned. It’s difficult to describe this color but It looks like a combination of grey, blue, and teal.

Overall: I liked this color a lot. The hue is quite different than most blues I’ve reviewed. Hopefully Diamine will release a non-glittery version!
