Colorverse have some nice sheening inks.. Like pillars of creation and I'm sure there are others on their range. I have also used Diamine Little Pip and Little Herbie... Good sheen.
Very nice Dave, thanks for sharing. Diamine China Blue is definitely an ink I love, but I wouldn't necessarily put it in the sheen monster category. Not sur about the others as I don't have them in my collection.
Hi Dave! I only own Amazing amethyst and Aurora Borealis out of those five. I have great sheen with Aurora Borealis, even on writing. But, like you said, I can't get even a hint of sheen with Amazing amethyst. Quite disappointing. There are most likely way better sheening inks, but here are some inks that I could advise you to check out. - Diamine : Monboddo's Hat - Diamine : Holly - Diamine : Alexandrite
Yes it is a shame, and they didn't even announce a closing down of the business, so really wonder what happened. They didn't have a large range of ink so I suspect with Robert Oster in Australia gaining more momentum and a lot of other boutique ink manufacturers popping up around the world it just sadly didn't become viable for them to continue.
Still an ink I haven't tried in person, only tried it at the KWZ table at a pen show, it looked pretty awesome and didn't seem to smear as much as say Organic Studio Nitrogen.
And sheen machine 2. Great sheen monsters. I wouldn’t call any of this selection sheen monsters - apart from Desert Rose. Sailor Manyo Akebi and sailor Shikiori Okayama are pretty heavy sheeners too.

2nd on Diamine Holly! Awesome ink! Also check out Organics Studio Emmerson - great sheen and not too bad dry time.
Diamine Skull & Roses would be a fair competitor for Desert Rose.
One of my favorite inks is Blackstone Barrier Reef. It's too bad they are no longer in business. Thanks for a good sheening ink comparison.

Dave let me know if you want me to send you some Organic Studios Nitrogen and/or Dromgoole’s Discover Green for your next sheen inks comparison.
Nitrogen I do have, and that should be in the next video.
Just stuff the paper inside the bottle next time and leave it in there for a couple of days.
KWZ sheen machine ,
