Tono & Lims - May I Help You - Ink Splatter

May I Help You as another lovely ink from Tono & Lims. I'm not sure where they got the name, but if I need help, this ink might just do the trick!

May I Help You is a beautiful, bold, brick red ink with a brilliant gold shimmer. Tono & Lims create some beautiful shimmer inks, and their shimmers are a very fine, comfortable particle that never seems to cause problems. The shimmer here dances across the lettering in normal writing, but as the splatter shows, it can become dominate when pooled or paired with wet, broad nibs.

If you can work with the shimmer, this is a very nice writing ink. Strokes are clean and well-defined. There are no issues with feathering and show-through is low. The ink itself has a nice flow as is comfortable on the page. Drying was faster than average, too. I recommend only moderately disturbing the shimmer in the bottle when filling to get a really nice writing experience and restrained shimmer levels in use. If you want the full shimmer effect, shake the bottle before filling and it will fill the page as you write.
