Nice green! This was a good Inkvent day. I'm sure it has been a challenge to get all this excellent content out, but I'm already hoping you'll do it again next year - it's been such a fun part of advent 😊🌲
You know me and greens haha. It is a great green but I think it would've been so cool to see a sheen or even a colorful shimmer with this one to make it "wow." So far the black is the only one that had me going "whoa!" haha
I'm so glad you do the comparison swatches. I loved this ink but it definitely looked a lot like Private Reserve Avocado which I have a full bottle of. No need to get a bottle of this, but it does make me want to ink up Avocado for next month.
A good day doesn't take back that three blue sheening red is bad product design. The things that stink about how they did this don't unstink just because they unstunk some but marketing departments absolutely depend on this "overall" good-washing through happy wrap up to maximize their profit from repeat customers. This calendar wasn't a good enough price to excuse that blueness and how dupeable the other colors have been. Like... if had been green or red heavy that could have fit the season, but this is COLORverse, which is very arty creative brand. And they could have just told us it was an office vibe. I'll be interested in seeing which colors they believe are the ones great enough to be permanent because so far only that black rates for me. (Sorry, I used to be in marketing before being disabled. I hope they continue these, I just also know they'll survive longer as a niche product creator in hard financial times if they don't use these mass market level customer manipulation techniques that burn out quality customers.)
You know what, you have a good point from a fellow marketing degree ink lover. They really did that BUT the second half of the box is the best half by far. It's going to be a hard choice to repurchase next year especially at that price point.
I love your breakdown of this. I'm not super informed on mass marketing but I can agree that the "happy" ending to wash out the rough start is a manipulative tactic. I am excited to finish the calendar but I don't think I would repurchase next year unless they drop the price by at least $50.
Green is my fav colour, so this is a win!! I would write with this every day!!
🎉 Day 17 was a good ink day!
Yes!! 💖💖💖

Oh, we are still tracking our responses to this calendar in parallel! I agree, it was great to have a green here.
This color looks beautiful. I like it. 💚
Yes me too!!
It's beautiful, I'm happy with it, but again, I'm looking for the wow, that proprietary ink like yesterday. So glad you were pleased with it though!!

@mydandeliondiaries red shimmer! 🤣
Pretty 🤩 💚 so appropriate for this one to be on a Leo card! They love to shine. ☺️
Hahaha 💖💖 love this!
Yay... a good ink 😄 and it's GREEN!! woo hoo
Yes!! I'm so happy to have at least one green in here. And it is a nice legible one too.

I am so glad you like the comparison swatches! Avocacdo is almost an exact dupe haha, and it is a great ink for a much better price in my opinion!
Glad you are feeling better about the advent. This color looks so lush! I am now wondering which ones will be voted to be on sale as bottles 🤔
Agreed! I feel a bit more hope again for the rest of the days. Todays inks for Diamine and Colorverse are very on theme for the holidays haha
I wonder if i actually love this color or if I'm just so relieved!!!😅
Hahahaha the mixed emotions are so real! I think todays inks (Diamine/Colorverse) are great Christmas colors!

This looks very average and boring to me... I feel like there are many similar shades of green out there already... Very meh...
