Day 5 is Triple Chocolate, a standard ink. Of the inks I swabbed, Macassar is the best color dupe, but it’s not an exact match. If you know of an exact match, please let me know so I can update this.

Day 4 is Polar Glow, a sheening ink. Nitrogen is the best match for the sheen, but Blue Water Ice is a slightly better match for the color.
The photo below is provided to showcase the sheen.

Day 3 is Snow Storm, a shimmer ink. Of the inks I have access to, I could only find one similar ink. Thankfully, it’s an almost perfect match.

Don’t worry, I won’t be sharing spoilers today (or any day, technically).
When the Diamine Inkvent Calendar was first announced, I thought it was a cute idea, but didn’t plan to get it. As more and more photos and mentions of it appeared, I found myself experiencing FOMO to the highest degree. Eventually, coming across it in person at Bertram’s Inkwell, I decided to get one to satisfy my interest and curiosity.
I went home, and, initially, I planned to be good and open it in December like a proper advent calendar. But then I remembered that I won’t be available to open the inks during Christmas week. I considered opening it day-by-day in November instead, but ultimately decided to just open it up and swab them all one Saturday.
