My nephew asked if I could make 'unicorn blood' ink for his birthday card

He was completely serious, and it got me thinking about how to actually make a shimmer ink that shifts color. I spent last weekend trying to layer a blue base with red sheen and silver sparkle. After three test batches, I ended up with a clogged feed and a purple mess that dried to a muddy brown. It was a fun failure though. Has anyone else tried to create a multi-effect ink like that and gotten it to work?

Oh man, a friend tried something similar for a dragon scale effect, @ninab95, and it just gummed up her whole pen.

So you tried to make unicorn blood and just got regular old mud? Sounds about right.
