This ink had a wet flow. I don’t mind wet inks but I’ve found that sheening inks tend to have a “sticky” or “gummy” consistency when writing.

Overall: I have to be honest, I was not a fan of this ink. The sheen does not make up for the consistency or low shading. I will have to pass on this color!
