Jack Frost is coming! Well, not here. Here it's just cold rain so far. But somewhere it's snowing and Jack Frost is showing off his talents.

The ink colour is a beautiful bright blue with reddish-purple sheen and a blue shimmer. I'd almost think they mixed Polar Glow with Blue Peppermint. It's still very pretty though and would love to see a full sized bottle of this one. Bonus picture for extra sheen.

Some days you just need a drink. Today is such a day for many of my UK friends. Maybe Diamine predicted this would happen and gave us a Mulled Wine colour on Friday the 13th.

I wish they switched this with Nutcracker because now you have two dark reds in a row, one with a sheen and one without. The base colour looks close if only look at the swabs. The Mulled Wine will look much lighter on paper, less saturated than Noel. It is what I'd expect writing with red wine. Nice colour, but wish it didn't came after Noel.

Day 12 is Noel, a burgundy colour with a golden sheen. It's a much darker colour than I expected and I really like it. It reminds me of my new Sailor Promenade Sparkly Red except that the ink has a sheen instead of a shimmer. The macro photo shows it off really well.

It's December eleven, or as we say in Dutch, elf. Elf is also the name of today's colour, referring to the green colour of Christmas elves. I don't know, I've never seen one.

It's a bright green without sheen or shimmer. I'm sure it'll look good with the Candy Cane ink. Red and green are the traditional Christmas colours, and Elf certainly fits that bill.

It's about time for a Winter Miracle, right? This purple ink has a green sheen with blue shimmer. It's such a surprising combination but it works really well. Check out the macro shot. It's a gorgeous complex ink. I can't wait to ink it up and start writing. I'm curious how it'll look with a wet broad nib.

Another standard brown, aptly called Nutcracker. This is a warmer brown than Triple Chocolate and you can see the difference in shading in the writing. It's less interesting, but I like the colour more. Which one do you prefer?

You get a Gold Star today! This ink is a bright yellow, leaning toward an orange shading. The shimmer is also yellow so it's very subtle. I included an extra photo to show just how much shimmer is in there.

Definitely a fun colour, although not a wintery one. I'm going to save it for spring or summer. Pair it with the Triple Chocolate and Mistletoe to paint a perfect sunflower.

I went to the Christmas Market in Haarlem but swabbed today's colour first. Mistletoe! It looked really dark on the sticker, but I really liked it dried on the cardboard.

No sheen or shimmer today. Just a regular camouflage green colour. It reminds me a bit of the De Atramentis Jane Austen green, but just a tiny bit more green. Lovely green for a natural palette.

Ho Ho Ho! That's the name of today's ink. I was afraid it would be too much like Candy Cane, but it's more orange. No sheen or shimmer today. Just reddish orange. Reminds me more of a summer fruit than a winter colour.
