A few more batches of HP soap

[NancyRogers]

These are some individual bars I did to test sniffies. They are scented with Southern Garden's Lemon Sugar, Lemongrass Sage and Magnolia Melba. All are yummy smelling!

This one is Bert's Heaven Scent Love Spell Type. I'm not crazy about it, but my girls adore it.

Finally, this is my first attempt at using EOs. I used Rosemary, Spearmint and Peppermint. I really like it.

Wow, you've been busy. The soaps look great, I'll be they all smell pretty good, too. Wish they could develope a computer or television with scent. Just think how interesting all the commercials would be then.

Love the watermelon, does the FO smell good? The EO bars are very pretty blue and green together is lovely.
(Sorry to pick favorites, the other bars are nice too )

Nice looking bars, Nancy! Were the bars that you did to test your sniffies also HP?

Yes, I really love it. It smells sort of like watermelon candy, but with something extra. It's really nice. I don't mind if you pick favorites. They're mine, and I have favorites.

Yup, all HP. I've just about decided that I'm a HP gal. I suppose I'll still do some CP for more complex swirling, but I'm just loving the HP.

Nancy,

They're all fantastic!

I'm envious of how much you can get done. It seems most of the time I want to soap, the kitchen turns into Grand Central Station.

Those are all great Nancy! I loved how you did your colors!

Nancy,

I'm very impressed with the fleur-de-lis soap. Do you coat the mold with something before you pour the soap?

 

[NancyRogers]

I don't coat the mold, but I do use Sodium Lactate and sugar in my HP soaps. Maybe that helps with the release? I don't really know. I wait about 24 hours before unmolding and put the molds in the freezer for 30 minutes. I let them come back down to room temp and the soaps sweat a bit from the temp change. I think that helps.

Great job...they are beautiful...Love the first ones...especially..

I'm in awe! Those are some stunning HP soaps! I love them all but I might just adore the mango manderine one. WOW! If you don't mind saying, what did you use for that pink? I'm still in search of a great pink.

 

[NancyRogers]

I think I used TKB's Strawberry Pop. It morphs in CP, but didn't seem to in my HP. It was an experiment to see if it would morph. In CP, it turns orangish, but it stayed true in HP.

Thanks for the reply. I really want to try some CP in a fancy mold. Maybe I'll just pour one cavity and see how it turns out.

Great soaps! They are all very nice! I just recently started using eo's and am very pleased too!
