Ink Review #272: Robert Oster Shake & Shimmer Red Gold

Today I’ll be reviewing a shimmering ink from Robert Oster. Not surprisingly, Red Gold is exactly that—a bright standard red with gold shimmer.

This ink is a standard red without any other undertones. It has no shading and high shimmer that does not smear. It reminds me of Taccia Aka Red.

This ink had an average and consistent flow. The red pops out on the paper and the gold gives a warm, pleasant tone.

Overall: This is a pretty ink for Chinese New Year!
