I initially thought these inks resembled each other more!

Behind door no. 17, we find another shimmer ink – Lavender Frost. The color is a dark and quite muted gray purple with silver shimmer. It has some subtle shading and appears moderately wet in the pen.

Memory Lane from last year’s Inkvent, is also a dusky purple ink with silver shimmer. However, by comparison, it is much lighter and brighter than Lavender Frost. Frosted Orchid is also a purple Diamine ink with silver shimmer, but it is more saturated and reddish purple compared to Lavender Frost.
