My GM CP, scented with Tropical something :? lol I can't remember.

My m&p with poppyseed:

The m&p set up VERY quickly so I had to work fast on that one, the cp overheated and left me with an ugly surprise on the bottom lol thankfully a little trimming helped that.

Wow they look good!!!! may i ask how you made em ?

Thaaanks, the cold pressed was driving me nuts, I decided to add in the Goats milk liquid with the oils instead of with the lye, only problem was the lye water was too hot when I added it causing a gross ugly look at the bottom of the soap slab so I just cut that off.
The top of each soap I added in colourant to each piece whilst still in my Nizzy mould and them dusted the tops with mica dust according to the colour. The swirl wasn't as nice as I hoped but not as bad as I thought it would be.

The melt and pour took me by surprise, I purchased the base privately, it was made by New Directions, I love the stuff but it sets up sooooo quickly, as soon as it starts cooling it goes into a jelly like texture when stirring, I just added the necessary colours/scents etc and it came out smelling pretty good. :D [/quote]

The M&P is that shrink wraped?? look so cool

:D yes the m&p is shrink wrapped, I find when I cut the wrap and wrap it as if wrapping a gift then shrink wrap it it comes out nice and neat although I am less than impressed with my heat gun and shrink wrappy I purchased off ebay. :x

love the swirls, mine never turn out so good :( , does that shiny stuff come off on your skin?
 
Gorgeous GG! Both the CP and the MP. I get my MP bases from Aussie Soap Supplies and I usually have plenty of time working with them. Which Nizzy mould do you have? The CP ones look fantastic with their swirls and pretty sparkly tops!

Thanks everyone, when I get brave enough I may give the cp another try but be more careful this time with the temps.

Topcat, I usually do get my bases from Aussie soaps but this one was a private sale and was really cheap ($120.00 for 23 kg) it was made through new directions.

I did purchase a whole heap of bases just recently that were cheaper than Aussie soap supplies but I kicked myself shortly after when I found out the ingredients in the stuf grrrrr!, so that was a BIG mistake on my part so I will be purchasing from Aussie soaps from now on.

OceanGirl: yep thats the same system I purchased, I was furious with it, i've only had it for about 6 months, when we recieved it the packaging was damaged, we got it out of the box and the wooden base was chipped and damaged, it was really dusty and the power light had come loose and fallen out of its fixture, we were going to send it back (which had to be at our expense) so I rung the business and gave them what for, turns out he's a "go between" apparently and the system is shipped through from overseas like china or somewhere, at least that's what he told me. I used the heat gun the other night on low setting and the fan in it looks like its already on its way out grrrrrr. I opened the system up and fixed it myself as I urgently needed to use it for an order so I had no time to waste.

Honor435; to be honest, i'm not sure if the mica comes off onto the skin, this is my first time i've used it but I know alot of people like to use it on their soaps so I figure if it does it sure would make ya skin look pretty (not something you would want if ya were a guy...I would think lol)
 
Tanya, I am so disgusting, I just realised I didn't answer your Nizzy qestion, sorry, I use the 9 cavity mould, I don't use it very often though, it hates me lol. When I use it I usually cut the bars in half to make the smaller.
I'm soooooo itching to order some silicon moulds from Kaseen though, I LOVE using silicon :D
