Well, I’m back, @Mobjack Bay - two bars. Does that mean only 2, or at least 2? Aka, can my photo have 3?No apologies needed. This month’s rules not as concise as they could be.

At least two bars will do it.Well, I’m back, @Mobjack Bay - two bars. Does that mean only 2, or at least 2? Aka, can my photo have 3?
And the stakes are raised!Neither of these will be my final entry, but I wanted to share two of my test drives!
The tints were more on the aqua (blueish) side. I like it, but not what I was expecting at all.
I do know that it is a 'bluer' green. The color when I added white was the color of the original Crest toothpaste, which is maybe still that color. I haven't used it in years so I'm not sure.I've found that Emerald Green is actually a teal in disguise
LOL!!! I have an Emerald Green mica that turns gold/light brown in CP!I've found that Emerald Green is actually a teal in disguise
That makes sense! And yes! It definitely looks gray when held up to a blue. Thank you!@Nicolesica It’s hard to make a judgement based on what I can see on a computer monitor. If you can tell that it has a bluish hue IRL then using it may not be consistent with the rules. However, if it looks grey when you hold it up to something blue, then I’d go with it.
Ok. I lost.Neither of these will be my final entry, but I wanted to share two of my test drives!

My purple terrazzo soap was my first exploration of the color requirements as a way to see the color blends first hand and do a design that could withstand a thicker batter so I could use up the last of my frozen beer. I'm happy with the colors of the embeds and continued to use those ratios for the other two soaps I did, but I second guessed myself on the shade ratio and by the time I realized it was a little too light, it was already in the mold.
I made the blue Taiwan swirl last night to see if it could dethrone my second batch (my future entrant as of right now) and it did not! I like the colors but they turned out quite unexpected! I expected them to be much bluer but they're almost teal/cyan-toned. I think it's a good reminder not to trust the colorblender too much

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You made a Kevin soap!I can confirm that iridescents do NOT react well to TD, AC, or even gray. It turned red. So… my “wood grain” soap became a “meat soap”. Lol… they look like little slabs of raw bacon. Lesson Learned
The first two pics are what Shapeshifter looked like before soap was added. The last one is my Bacon Soaps
Haha! I love it! Henceforth my meat soap shall be called Kevin.
