The final day! The day we’ve all been waiting for! The day with a full bottle of ink in the colour of this year’s calendar (i.e. teal)! And they let the resident dad on the team name it…
Day 25’s ink is Diamine Myrrh the Merrier. I told you it was named by a dad – and a dad that’s very pleased with himself right now 🙂
It’s a shimmer and sheen teal ink, with blue shimmer and red-purple sheen.

This ink is pretty, it’s got character and shimmer and sheen – but thankfully it’s still a teal ink. You can see the lovely base colour beyond all the pizzazz.

I have been using Myrrh the Merrier for my journaling and general writing for the past three days, and it flows well for a shimmer and sheen ink. Yes, if you leave it uncapped for a while you’ll have a hard start, but for a sheen and shimmer ink it’s been impressively well behaved.

You can see the sheen, but you can also see the ink colour.

This year’s final bear is Candy by June Kendall, a one of a kind British artist bear.

As opposed to last year’s day 25 ink which was disappointing and an ink that I don’t ever see myself using, this year’s Myrrh the Merrier ink is delightful and actually fun to use.
That’s all for the individual ink reviews for this year’s inkvent. In a day or two I’ll post my summary post, discussing the calendar as a whole and highlighting some of my favourites.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!

What a wonderful finale to this year’s Inkvent! I think Myrrh the Merrier is a beautiful color to finish with. And, as for me, I think this was one of the best Inkvents of the ones I’ve done (it’s my 4th). At least 12 of the inks have a heart next to them on my master calendar of swatches.
Once again, thank you for your reviews and bears that make this such an enjoyable part of my Christmas tradition.
Merry Christmas, happy holidays, happy new year to you and everyone else who follows this series.
