On my quest to make watermelon soap with “perfect to me” pinks and red, with more trial and error ahead. I used Trial by Fire red, but mixed in Raspberry. I have now finally had the ah-ha moment that the raspberry mica from BB is the culprit in turning my soap brownish. I am banning it from soap!
And in other news, I made this drop swirl. I wanted the base color to be more light baby blue, but the NS Sky Blue turned more gray than I expected. Scented with NS 8th & Ocean. Anyone have a great mica that is really baby blue? Maybe lighten a deeper blue with some TD? Help wanted, please.
