Nibs & Nails Presents Cameo Colours Lacquers Caroube de Chypre (Inspired by J Herbin Ink): Swatches and Giveaway!

*press sample*

Hi guys! I can finally welcome you back to Nibs & Nails. You know, the segment where I ask indie makers to dupe (or just be inspired by) popular fountain pen inks. I know it has been a hot minute since I've posted one of these, but you know...life. Tonight features the brand Cameo Colours Lacquers. Don't forget, Cameo's Spring Collection is out right now and I reviewed them on the blog a couple weeks ago (link here). If you haven't checked Cameo out, I definitely recommend you do so! I asked her to work on the latest shimmery J Herbin ink, Caroube de Chypre. Stay tuned to the end of the post for your chance to win this exclusive shade!

As always, to see an in-depth review of the ink, please check out my husband's blog post on Inkdependence. Without further ado, let's get started!

Wordless Wednesday Nibs & Nails: Jessica Cosmetics Starfish Glow & Lamy Safari

*press sample*

Hey folks,
My husband and I both have blogs, and Elaine at JetPens suggested that we combine our powers for a weekly feature. Well, here it is! Nibs & Nails will generally be part of the Wordless Wednesday blog-trend, but I want to introduce the feature this time. If you like pens, ink or office supplies, go see Inkdependence. From now on, I hope to show polishes that I either blogged about a long time ago and the swatches suck, or any just random one I don't feel like fully reviewing (unlike today which I will eventually review). This is Jessica Starfish Glow from the Spring 2014 collection on the nails, and my turquoise Lamy Safari. It was my first fountain pen, and it's what my husband used to hook me on these fantastic things.

Jinhao X750 Holographic Fountain Pen

Jinhao X750 Fountain Pen

It's a well-kept secret that I've started getting into fountain pens recently. They just write so much better than other gel or ball point pens (and you look so much fancier doing it). I know this post isn't about nail polish, but I thought you guys could appreciate the awesome holographic glitter on this pen. I had heard some good reviews on this pen on a the Fountain Pen Network (yup, there's one of those) and I just couldn't beat it for $7.00 including shipping! So far I'm really liking it! I bought this on Ebay so make sure to check it out if you are interested in purchasing a nice fountain pen.
