Ink Review #428: PenBBS #182: April Diamond

 Today I will be taking a look at another PenBBS ink. #182: April Diamond is a dreamy blue with dual-shading properties.

Swabs:

This ink had high shading and no sheen. It’s a warm blue that shades to purple. The color is similar to Troublemaker Milky Ocean, Sailor Studio 123, and Sailor Manyo Nekoyanagi.

Overall: PenBBS #182: April Diamond is a dual-shading purple-blue ink. It would be a great alternative to Troublemaker Milky Ocean.
