Day 15’s ink is Diamine Frostbite, a dark royal blue ink with light blue shimmer. It’s a nice ink and aptly named, but I feel like I’ve seen others like it in other Inkvent calendars – particularly in the first Inkvent calendar (the 2019 Blue Edition).

In fact I’m a bit surprised that Diamine haven’t had a “Frostbite” ink as part of their Inkvent calendar yet. This is a handsome and worthy ink to carry this name, even if there are other inks like in the Diamine lineup.

Diamine Frostbite is a saturated ink, which means that it has a purplish red sheen to it as well as a light blue shimmer effect. It’s not new or exciting but it works well as a holiday/winter themed ink.

Here’s a closer look at the sheen and shimmer of Diamine Frostbite:

Today’s bear is a tiny but perfect, handmade teddy bear that serves as the teddy bear for another, bigger teddy bear. Complicated, I know. Just enjoy looking at him instead:

Diamine Frostbite is the first “proper” blue of this year’s Inkvent, and it’s a good one. It’s funny that Diamine have waited so long to issue an Invent ink called Frostbite, but this ink has definitely earned the name and is pretty enough to be worth the wait.

What do you think? Is Frostbite interesting or too similar to other Inkvent inks from previous years?
