With Valentine’s Day just around the corner Cult Pens have just launched the last two Deadly Sins – Lust and Envy – which was my cue to finally blog about all seven of these Diamine exclusives as a definitive collection of inky transgressions.
Envy – A deeply jealous emerald green with lots of chromo and a dramatic red sheen.
Gluttony – A hungry red brown ochre with a huge rose gold shimmer.
Greed – An excessive golden olive with subtle chromo and a champagne shimmer.
Lust – A compelling bright blue with a sensual red sheen.
Pride – A confident majestic purple with a huge silver shimmer.
Sloth – A dark indolent blue with a deep red sheen.
Wrath – A deep angry crimson with black sheen and a silver pink shimmer.
