These ink colors are all so beautiful together and on their own! I'm amazed by your discipline Karyna! I have so many pens inked up at all times! Loving the Opera Rose! Great video!
Hi Karyna, the beautiful gray blue coming out of that Pelikan black tortoiseshell is just a wonderful pairing!! I love stormy cloudy sky blues like that. They're so interesting! :) Someday I'll have my own M605 ❤
I have a pen inked with opera rose this month- by far my favourite ink of the month so far! I am definitely going to end up buying a bottle of this one!!
Great choices. I also inked up my pilot E95s, it is such a great writer. I am excited to see the review on the zodiac pen co pen. as well as the ones on the way.
Love all of these. Got my petrified forest estie on Thursday! I chose Diamine Ancient Copper and pretty pleased with how it looks. Excited to try new inks 💕
Beautiful selection of inks I have so many ink samples that I have not reviewed I will do at least 1 a day for the next month and a half then I will get another shipment from pen friends who will hopefully supply me for the next 3o inks 3o days :) this week is J herbin Gris Nuage, Blue myosotis, diamine crimson, Diamine Umber, Diamine Burnt sienna, Robert oster Motor Oil, Private reserve Purple Mojo, Sailor Black, platinum blue-black, Platinum carbon black, Private reserve Velvet black ... P.s. I have a video every week on Saturday with currently inked pens and bujo every Sunday :)
Lovely choices as always. Your Water Lily Koi from Zodiac Pens is stunning! What model did you choose? I recently purchased a PM1 in the Gemini model and just adore it. Bart is wonderful to work with!
I wish you would do a video on how to buy/sell pens online. Also if you ever sell the Leonardo Angel Skin, please give me a right of first refusal. I love that pen. Do you have a swatch of Colorverse Brunch Date and how does it compare to the Opera Rose. That pairing with the Estie is beautiful.
There are various places people sell or buy pens online. There is Reddit /penswap where I found my Rainforest Estie and Pastel PM. I sell my pens through my planner accounts here on TH-cam and Instagram, but have also used VirtualPenShow account on Instagram. It does help that I have more exposure but the two above - Reddit and VirtualPenShow on IG - are two great places to buy and sell. Reddit does have requirements before you can sell, though.
That pilot e95s is beautiful! 🥰 I journal everyday and I’ve only used bulletproof inks. I’m afraid of using the pretty colors and it not lasting 😕 It’s very tempting to branch out and test all the pretty inks! Lol
Unless you keep your journals open out in the sun, there shouldn't be any danger in the ink fading. I can understand wanting to save them should they ever got caught in a flood, but for everyday storage, regular non-bulletproof inks should be fine!
I was on such a mission to use up samples that I hadn’t inked from bottles in almost a year so I’m trying to do both now and just not acquire too much.
Yesterday I received 3 new Esterbrook pens. You may or may not have influenced me 😁.. and I may have gone a little over the board on a night appelboom store scroll 🙄.. not my first Esterbrooks, but I love the finishes of 2 of them: the oversize candy and the nebula which is a collab Esterbrook made with FWP. The third one is the seaglass one. I really like all of them. But the icing on the cake is the nibs on 2 of them: I got the journaler and the sribe nibs. Probably would have gone for the needlepoint as well but the nebula didn't come with specialty nibs. So it's a good old EF nib on that one As per usual my Kaweco brass sport with Herbin Éclat de Saphire is inked up. My 3 sterling Pilots have the namiki orange (which is a good orange on most papers, but on TR is really beautiful) pilot asa-gao and pilot yamabudo in them. And finally I have my Pilot VP LS inked up with pilot take-sumi. As I love my blues and turquoise inks, the new Esterbrooks will probably be inked up around those colours, and maybe a different orange as well... blues turquoises aquas with orange tones are usually my favourite combos. Although I get inspired to use different colours thanks to these videos, I almost always go back to my 'comfort colours'
Yay for your three new Esties!! I do want to eventually try a Needlepoint nib as well! And I love what you have inked up this month. Thanks for sharing!
I applaud you for squeezing this into 13 minutes of video. LOL. I loved watching every second. I just filmed mine and it's 36 minutes. Oh well - looking forward to hearing how these pens and inks worked out for you. You palette is very muted with the exception of the meadow and I'm curious if that makes a difference in how often you use this pen.
😂 Oh Simone! I love your videos! I do a voiceover which helps me really focus on what I am writing. I can multitask with some things but not always this! 😂 And I love your long videos!
Hi Karyna! I was wondering if you have FWP Spadina rose? Would you be able to compare it to teranishi opera rose? I have spadina rose, but I can’t tell how close they look to each other or not. This is really driving me crazy. Anything you can do would be amazing. Even just a comment would suffice. Thank you!
Hello! Spadina Rose is on my list so I haven’t tried it yet. But from what I can tell, Spadina Rose leans more to burgundy red and Opera Rose leans more coral orange. I do want to try that one soon!
Where did you find someone to switch nibs with you? I just got a pen and am realizing I would have preferred a different nib size. I like the idea of trading with someone who has the same pen.
These ink colors are all so beautiful together and on their own! I'm amazed by your discipline Karyna! I have so many pens inked up at all times! Loving the Opera Rose! Great video!
Thank you so much! I don't call it discipline so much as... if I have too many inked, I get overwhelmed and anxious!
Hi Karyna, the beautiful gray blue coming out of that Pelikan black tortoiseshell is just a wonderful pairing!! I love stormy cloudy sky blues like that. They're so interesting! :) Someday I'll have my own M605 ❤
Such a great combination! And the M605 is a beautiful pen. I'm saving up for an M800!
These are all lovely! That green really does go with the estie. Beautiful together. Thank you!! 😘❤️🙏
Thanks Laly! 🥰
Great line up of ink colors! Thank for sharing.
Thanks for watching! 🥰
I have a pen inked with opera rose this month- by far my favourite ink of the month so far! I am definitely going to end up buying a bottle of this one!!
Such a good ink! Definitely worth the bottle!

I actually prefer my E95S to the Custom 743 😱
I love your Zodiac Pen in Water Lily Koi. You can match with a variety of inks.
Yes - a really bright pink or yellow or green. So amazing!
Love all of these. Got my petrified forest estie on Thursday! I chose Diamine Ancient Copper and pretty pleased with how it looks. Excited to try new inks 💕
Yay for your Petrified Forest and what a great match!
how fun Karyna
Thanks for watching! 🥰
Oooh, that Don Quixote looks great in that pen! So many pretty selections. My fave is the diamine meadow in the rainforest estie!
Thanks Kara! I am excited to use them all!
I've had the E95s on my wish list for over a year now. One of these days I'm going to have to pull the trigger!
Such a good pen, Kim!!

Those are all awesome! And daily ink reviews are great - cannot wait to watch!

I chose the Virgo model! And yes Bart is so lovely!
The Don Quixote is such a great match for that Pilot! The Opera Rose is so interesting!
Ahhh thank you for the shoutout!
@@CreatingCuteArt thank you for the trade!

@@KarynaLovesToPlan perfect, thank you for clarifying! 😊

I was that way too! I have lots of bottles that I need to use more!
Stunning combinations. ✨ Thank you for sharing. ☺ I'm curious how the α CMA compares to FWP Storied Blue. 🤔
Hmm. I will compare the two when I do my progress report! Thanks for watching! 🥰

Adding that Herbin to my list. Curious if you've tried Waterman Tender Purple?
I haven’t tried any Waterman inks, actually!
OT question: what nail polish do you have on? It's a lovely color.
Thanks! I got it at the salon. It is with a chrome finish and unfortunately I don’t know what brand!

@@KarynaLovesToPlan thanks so much!! That helps a lot!
Karyna, where do you typically go to sell your pens?
I post here on TH-cam or on Instagram. People also use Reddit /penswap or VirtualPenShow on Instagram.
@@KarynaLovesToPlan, thank you!

I just mentioned it in my unboxing video and someone commented and messaged me on Instagram!
