Taccia Sunset is from the Lip Color collection. This ink was more popular earlier this year, but now I can’t find it in stock anywhere.

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has a little bit of gold sheen.

I used a Sailor Pro Gear Sparkling Pink with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, this ink is a little better behaved than the other Lip Color inks, and is one of my favorites from the set. I’m a sucker for a good coral pink.
