My favorite bar yet!

[three_little_fishes]

My first color other than natural colorants, my first FO, and my first time using mica.

I used fun soap colorant, 24KT mica, and mermaid kisses FO all from NG. And some sugar pearls that I had in the pantry and decided to add as I was going. It was a tiny batch, hence the small bars. But, I figure since it's a salt bar it will last a while. I wasn't really sure about the colorant in CP, but it held it's color well. I did notice acceleration with the FO, but it says so on the site.

Thanks everyone! The mica swirl was a little weird because I let it get too thick. Or the salt...something made it weird and not wanting to swirl. I'm still happy with it though. I was going for an ocean-y feel with it. If all cures well I may give some to a sweet friend that runs a the NC chapter of an organization near to my heart called Surfers Healing. They've been a blessing to us and I would love to make her up a little gift basket to say thanks.

I used FUN soap colorant from NG. I couldn't tell whether it held up in CP so I just risked it (another reason this was a 1lb batch). It didn't take much at all to get to where I was. At first I wanted to go with a darker teal, but after I reached this color I decided to stop because I liked it and because it was getting thick on me. Next time I think I'll do color before fragrance.

Now I want to make a regular soap so I can practice some peaks with the mica swirl!
