Ink Review #364: Kala Nostalgia Gemstone Star Garnet

 

Hello everyone! This post marks the last, but not least, of the Kala Nostalgia Gemstone collection. I preferred the light gray inks, and have kept the Moonstone, Grey Agate, and Opal samples.

Kala Nostalgia Star Garnet is a rich purple ink. It hearkens to its namesake; these gemstones are often a deep, purple or reddish black.

Swabs: 


This ink had low shading and no sheen. The color similar to, but a few shades lighter than, Robert Oster Deep Purple.
