Nurture Soap Supplies. They have some great greens and red. I make red red with red oxide and hot pink.

I used really red pigment and green vibrance mica from nurture soap. A little red goes a long way. I used a little more than 1 tsp per pound of oils and the soap bubbles a light pink. But doesn't stain. Also it bleeds a little into the white after a couple of months. The first photo is fresh cut at the end of August and the second picture today shows some bleeding into the uncolored white.

I like Evergreen mica from BB - I'm not as big a fan of the bright green like Green Vibrance but that's also a very good mica. I also like Merlot Sparkle mica from BB but it's not as true Christmas red - more of a burgundy.

I use a 1:1 blend of hot pink neon and a burgundy from micas and more. Really red from nurture is also a great red and I love green vibrance.
