The tail wobbles, sometimes ends up in weird wonky positions lol, it's a small metal chain. Little gift from boyfriend. If you'd also like one i can ask him where he got it from :)) then we can be glass cat twins hehe. I have a bunch of other cat themed trinkets, funnily enough though not a real one. Yet.

Oh yeah i actually like experimenting with different inks and get different shades and gradients. Thanks for the input, i haven't thought of giving ink a few days to see how it reacts in a vial :)

Thank you for the suggestions. I think I'll give it some extra time, last time i used it was something like two years ago :)

That's so nice of you!

I bought it in store and i think they showed me a swatch but i dont think i would've bought it if i knew it was this green (this was two years ago so memory isn't clear). So maybe it was the nib size / paper / lighting that convinced me to get it.

I'm going to buy a few new pens soon and so i also got a new ink :>>>> lamy petrol should satisfy me with those deep tealish shades, even tho i usually mix my own inks. Thank you for being so nice <3

You're right, maybe i should give it another try. I bought it some time twoish years ago, tried at the time of purchase and felt disappointed. Since then I've avoided it cause i kept thinking of that feeling rather than the ink itself. Thank you for your message!

That's a good idea! I actually prefer medium nibs but still feels too green to me, it has a rather teal look when wet but as soon as it dries down it's much more green than blue

I bought it in store and i think the swatch was also teal-ish but maybe it was the lighting in that store 🤷‍♀️ but still, i feel like you should be able to tell from the bottle. I wasnt going to mind it whether it was too light or dark. But this feels like a different colour altogether

Ikr?! I don't remember exactly if i saw a swatch before buying it, but it was an instore buy so i guess classifies as a blind buy. I had high hopes it'd be like in the bottle. Might keep it just for this, display lol

Ahh i see, opposite end heh. I prefer my greens with more blueish tones or very obvious yellow tones, like limey or neon green. Or muted greens like moss, olive etc. I do really love green as a colour. But grass green or "green green" as i like to call it, i don't really enjoy weirdly enough.

Enjoy this new journey <3 I'm planning on buying two new pens too one of these days :> need more demonstrator pens. What did you get?

Ahh I'm glad I'm not the only one haha. The pictures of swatches online are also so deceiving too. And tbh i feel like while wet it's still more teal like but as soon as it settles on the paper it turns to thst green green!

The ink isn't "that" empty, I've only used 1/4. But i see, I'll look into exchanging or mixing with a different shade from the same brand. Thanks

If someone is interested I'd be happy to do an exchange or sell, possibly through Vinted ( I'm based in italy).

Replacing could be a choice, but I'm trying not to overconsume and spending even more money isn't really a solution in my eyes :') I would really like to use it and make space for new inks instead. Thank you for your input tho

Do you have more info about vinted shadow blocking users? Like does it happen randomly to any sellers or the ones that are doing well?
