I got the Leonardo MZG2.0 too in the Universe colour with a broad steel nib 💙 it's sooooo stunning 😍 I've recently fallen down the Leonardo rabbit hole and now I want them all 😅
@@inksplat yeah I get that! I took a bit of time to decide whether i really wanted to buy it, and I kept checking to see if it was still in stock as it is such a limited pen! I lucked out and still had the choice of most of the nib sizes so I thought I'd go for broad as I love broads and I could always consider getting it ground to a fun custom nib.
Check around for the Leonardo nib units. Several retailers that sell the pens also sell the steel nibs separately for around $40. I've bought pens I wanted that had limited stock available (didn't have the nib size I wanted) and then later switched out the nibs. But I also have enough Leonardo pens now that I can do a lot of nib swapping. 😏
Thanks for sharing! That Waterman Carene pen colour looks lovely! ☺️ Nice pairings! New subscriber here & look forward to watching more of your videos!
My pleasure! That is a hard question... but to choose from the pen/inks you had in this video, I would say the Benu x Atlas Gold Coast + Colorverse Dokdo! Gold Coast is beautiful and that pen & just stunning! I'm also a sucker for blue/greens haha enjoy your bottle when it arrives! @@inksplat 😺
what a fun collection, thanks for sharing Manda B. Do you have a dedicated video to the Combustion fountain pen? If not, I hope you will.. it's so beautiful
I only have 6 pens inked (if I don't count the pen I re-ink with black every month). 1.) Leonardo MZG 2.0 in Nana Rosa inked with Teranishi Opera Rose 2.) Lamy 2000 inked with Birmingham Pen Co. Petrified Wood 3.) Pilot Elite inked with Inkebara #141 brown gray 4.) Esterbrook Estie in Lilac Inked with a 1:1 mix of Troublemaker Milky Ocean & Robert Oster Viola 5.) Platinum 3776 in burguny inked with FWP Spadina Rose 6.) Jinhao 82 in transparent white - inked with Pennonia Danuvius (this is the pen I carry to work)
@@inksplat The Nana Rosa and the Esterbrook. Both are really comfortable size wise and I love the inks. The blend of the milky ocean and viola has made one of my favorite purples.
ooo! that Colorverse ink in the BENU, I approve 😂so juicy! So torn about the new Kaweco - I am saving up for another pen so I prob wont get it and then I will regret it 😂.
Great video! Ink recommendation if you haven't come across it yet - Wearingeul Frankenstein. it seems like a Manda colour to me because ... wait for it ... PURPLE SHIMMER. It is a dark grey base with purple shimmer currently inked in a TWSBI Eco, loving it so much.
I had Dokdo inked up last month and loved it! I also am one of the ones that likes Deer Brown, though honestly, not sure what breed of Deer are green.😂 Beautiful line-up this month!
Lovely group of colours you have there 😊 I added the new Kaweco to my must have list as soon as I watched your earlier video. Very annoyed & disappointed that they want to charge me $100 freaking Australian dollars for postage for one little pen! Needless to say I won't be adding it 😢 Sorry, seeing the beautiful purple again reminded me ❤
I've had the Sailor Smoothie PG in Cantaloupe in so many online carts this past week. 🙈 And yes they remind me of the frosted Kawecos too! Which makes sense, because I have the soft mandarin from that series. 😂
I am intrigued by the Cantaloupe! Mostly because I love cantaloupe but also because I don’t have anything that looks like it. The Kaweco would be cheaper 😂 well, if you decide to buy, I hope you love it! And if you remain purchase free, I hope you at least have fun with the window shopping!
I’ve been intrigued by the Waterman, but I’m considering getting rid of my E95s because I choke up on the grip/nib. I end up with ink on my fingers every time! Do you see that being a similar problem with the Waterman? It looks like we grip our pens the same way.
How dare you imply that I have ink on my fingers. 😅 I have to admit I've been feeling lucky that I don't like gold and orange on pens because it has kept me from buying some of the pens you've got this month. 😅
Great pen & ink combinations!! And your "heehee' laugh about the Honeycomb just tickled me. 😅
Hehee
I really like Brandy Snap! And you Penabled me to get the Esterbrook in Honeycomb 😊
I hope you’re loving your Honeycomb! What nib size did you go with?
Oooh, that smoothie is cute!
It is!!
I got the Leonardo MZG2.0 too in the Universe colour with a broad steel nib 💙 it's sooooo stunning 😍 I've recently fallen down the Leonardo rabbit hole and now I want them all 😅
I ALMOST got the broad nib but they didn’t have it in stock, and I didn’t want to wait. 😂

I hit this so fast when the notification came through! So much fun!
Smoothie Wild Berry is the perfect pen for spring 😍didn't realize it was sparkly too
Agreed! I didn’t realize it was sparkly either until I got it. It’s a nice touch!
Real fountain pen lovers have inky fingers!
😂 true!

You’re lineup is so fantastic! So many gorgeous pens and ink. But that Deer Brown! I love it so much. ✒️💜🧡🖋
Thank you!!! 💜 I hate that Deer Brown has grown on me, but I love it in that pen. 😂😂😂
I'm so mad that you have the Gallattica AND the Estie honeycomb!! I'm sitting here adding them to my cart everywhere.
I’m sorry!! 😂😂
@@inksplat #sorrynotsorry ha ha!
Oops. LOL!
what a fun collection, thanks for sharing Manda B. Do you have a dedicated video to the Combustion fountain pen? If not, I hope you will.. it's so beautiful

Currently Pets!!! :D This video brightens my day ✨
Haven't had an inky fingers yet today, I will ink a pen later today though so we will see XD
Yay, hi Purl 😂💜

Currently Pets 😂 There is a Goldspot Kawecki with BB sitting in a cart and I stopped myself. Great to see it here to fuel the fire
Also lmao about Deer Brown. 🤣
LOL, I knew someone would laugh about it... 🤣
💜💜💜
First comment for this video: How do you feel about the grip section on the Carene? Do you feel like your fingers slide down?
A Simone made me do it. Sorry your nib was misaligned. That sucks big time and it shouldn't happen. Just no.
How dare you imply that I have ink on my fingers. 😅
I have to admit I've been feeling lucky that I don't like gold and orange on pens because it has kept me from buying some of the pens you've got this month. 😅
Also also, yes, Charleston. 😂
Deer Brown? uhh...ummm....
😂😂😂
