TKB pop micas

[pgnlady]

Has anyone heard if they've found replacements, or found suitable replacements themselves for these yet. My supply is starting to get dangerously low :cry:

I think the rainbow micas at bitter creek were supposed to be a good replacement, haven't tried them myself... still have a ton of pops

I haven't heard if they've found a replacement but there've been discussions about replacements.

I'm sure there have been more discussions if you want to search further.

i ordered a sampler pack of Brambleberry's Neon colorants collection. Wow! these colors are amazing -- vibrant, non-morphing, and a little goes a long way. these are my happy substitute for TKBs pop micas. i'm also in love with their skin-safe glitters, in colors that complement the bright colors.

In the interest of continuity and availability I ditched all my TKBs and switched everything over to the Consevatorie. I'm extremely happy with everything I've ordered from them.

Deda - is there a list of which colorants (micas really) are stable in soap? I looked through their selection a while ago but wasn't sure if they would morph or not?

I thought there was, but I don't see it anymore. Each individual color has the INCI ingredients listed. Just stay away from the one with unstable ingredients; ferric ferrocyanide, manganese violet, carmine and some of the FD&C colors.

I've been using a mix of Conservatorie colors and neons from tbk. The two red/pink Conservatorie colors morph, which I figured they might. I never used pops but I love the ones from Conservatorie (happy hour collection)

I've only tried 2 of the rainbow micas from bitter creek, but I really like the ones I've got. (purple & yellow)

i ordered all of the conservatorie's happy hour collection, and am really happy with all of them for TKB pop mica stand-ins

 

[Deda]

Found it.

this lists all the INCI for all of the micas.

thank you so much!

Paillo, can you confirm that the Conservatorie's Happy Hour collection works in CP soap? I will order Strawberry, Cosmo Martini and Orange Heaven (and a few others) if I know that the colour will stay true.
Thanks,
