Beautiful ! Thank you for these images !
I am always wary of using shimmer inks in my beautiful pens, because I favour Finer nibs and I fear that the shimmer will clog them... But watching your video will encourage me to try new inks !
Would you care to tell us what pen you used for the second ink (Ferris Wheel Press)
I recognized the first pen but I am not sure about the second.
Thank you !

I only have one ink that really gives me trouble, and that's the De Atrementis Green Copper. Even then, once I get it flowing it's fine for multiple days before it will throw a tantrum again. I'd recommend the J.Herbin line if you're concerned, since their inks don't contain as much shimmer as other brands and so you should have fewer issues with clogging. My favorite is Stormy Grey, which I find looks good at all nib widths, even finer ones.
In the video, the pen I use with Blue Beryl Tonic is a Nahvalur Nautilus, which is a model of pen that I recommend. I'm putting together a review of the model, since I apparently like them. I didn't intend to start collecting them, but I now own 4 different ones and have had to stop myself on at least two occasions from buying more. They release quite a few limited or special editions, usually in limited quantities, so if you see one you really like, snatch it up. That particular one was called "Rosewood Ebonite" with a 14k nib that I purchased from nibs.com
