Robert Oster Violet Dreams is a muted, dusty purple shimmer ink from the Shake 'N' Shimmy collection featuring gold glitter particles and excellent shading, particularly when used with larger nibs. Known for its quick dry time and soft, comforting tone, it's ideal for those seeking a delicate sparkle in their writing. The ink's light saturation and low water resistance are typical of shimmer inks, and users should note it may cause restricted flow in some pens due to particulate content.
