Colorverse Hayabusa Glistening - 30ml Bottled Ink
This 30ml glass bottle of Colorverse Hayabusa shimmering purple ink is part of the Colorverse Glistening collection.
Colorverse inks are made in South Korea.
Due to the amount of particulate in this ink used to achieve the sparking look, you may experience restricted ink flow in some of your pens. We recommend shaking the ink thoroughly before filling and gently rolling the pen in your hands often to keep the shimmer effect consistent. This will also help prevent clogging. You will also want to be diligent about cleaning and maintaining your pen when using this ink.

Customer Reviews
Lovely thank you so much for your excellent sample selections. It was in them I've found several favorites along with hayabusa glistening I'm a huge fan of Gluon glistening as well as noodlers ink Blue nosed bear and sailor Manyo koke. Is Jack Frost a Diamine color? Anyway I've got a bunch of pens inked up and my daughter just loved the hayabusa so I bought her the purple glow TWSBI with a broad nib for Christmas so her college notes will be bold and sparkling. Me I'm going to have to buy the Colorverse Gluon glistening because it looks so good in and coming out of my green glow TWSBI eco. Blue nosed bear kills it with a Lamy 1.9 on the Mnemosyne pad I got from you folks in a bundle with an olive sailor compass and some more amazing samples. I'm only about a year down the fountain hole so perhaps it's normal to be this rabid early on. My collection grows constantly and though I do shop elsewhere you guys got me started and remain my favorite virtual place ever. Wish you had a brick and mortar near me. Though best you don't as idhve tiger a job there and trade hours for inks. Thanks for everything. I'll be back soon!
This ink has a pretty wet flow using a Diplomat medium Jowo nib but not to the point where it's impractical. I am a teacher and I always grade in purple, so I really enjoy an ink that not only makes me happy but is unlikely to be copied by my students. The gold shimmer comes out even on cheap paper like my photocopied exams. I love it and it will make grading finals this semester just a little more fun for me.
Goulet Pen sent a sample of this to me in error and allowed me to keep it. I finally got around to trying it, and oh, boy, and I loving it! I tend to use shimmer inks almost exclusively, and the flow and shimmer in this Colorverse ink is everything I could want. I didn't have to work hard to see the shimmer, and it is flowing out of my Visconti steel broad nib like a dream. I just placed an ink order and was disappointed that I didn't include this. Turns out it is on back order, but I'll be ordering it when it's back in stock. Although I have a couple of other shimmering purples that I enjoy (Jacques Herbin 1798 Amethyste de L'Oural and Diamine Mystique), this deserves a place alongside them.
Currently my Fav Ink. Great Color and flows well from a EF nib on a Pilot Metro. Water Resistance is a bit to be desired but I am overall pleased with this ink, Will Order Again.
The ink works beautifully with my white and rose-gold TWSBI stub-nib pen. The ink flows easily and the shimmer gives the ink the pop I was looking for. I would highly recommend this ink in the stub-nib pen.
FAQs about Bottled Ink
Which pens can accept this ink?
Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink.
What is shading, sheening, or shimmering ink?
Shading - A common (and often desired) result of a fountain pen ink pooling in certain parts of a letter when writing, so that the color and saturation of the ink appears different within a single letter or word. This characteristic cannot be achieved with ballpoint or rollerball pens and is a very appealing aspect of fountain pen use for those particularly drawn to all the pretty ink colors.
Sheen - Characteristic of a fountain pen ink where when ink pools another color can be seen on top of the ink, especially when looked at in different light angles using certain paper types. There is no way to guarantee an ink will sheen, but using a larger nib on a pen will help obtain sheening results in your writing.
Shimmering - Fountain pen ink that has small particles of glitter mixed in.
Is shimmering ink safe to use in fountain pens?
Yes! Shimmering ink is a great way to add some flare to your writing. We have found that a larger nib will showcase more shimmering particles while writing, but you can use any nib size and shimmering ink. All the ink we sell is safe for use in fountain pens.
You can learn more in our blog: How to Write with Shimmering Ink.
My ink smells funny, is it safe to use?
Generally yes! Ink does not smell good- it usually has a chemical smell, along with other scents such as sulfur, rubber, chemicals or even paint. However, as long as you’re not seeing anything floating in the ink, it should be safe to use.
It’s cold and my ink froze; is it safe to use?
Yes, frozen ink will not hurt your pen (after it’s thawed of course!) The issue with ink freezing is primarily a concern because certain glass bottles could break as the water-based ink expands, and then you’d have a mess!
