The Paradise Reef is cooling as I sit here. It has a nice clean smell to it. Colored it light blue. It doesn't have any one strong smell that I can tell right now. But it is good.

Blueberry Cobbler didn't bother me in the begining, but now I can't even stand the cold throw. ewwww

Pat

Diamondk, that is what I am hoping. I got the Lemon Chiffon from AH/RE and it throws really well in a pillar, but I am hoping the Lemon Sugar will do well in the tins.

Thanks, Pat

This is one of the tins I am thinking of doing for a friends wedding reception. They will be wickless. Hope ya like.Well, shoot. The file is too big. Let me see if I can resize it.

Sorry

Scented- which ones from NG are you interested in? I can always bump them into the next spot. I just poured the Paradise Reef into the pillar blend. So far so good. OOB the Strawberry Kiwi is not good. Has an over ripe strawberry smell to it. Hopefully it will be better in the wax. I was contemplating the BRV next, but the Sun Moon & Stars is kinda calling too.And then there is the Tiger Lily. I don't like florals so that one has to wait til BF goes to work tonight or tomorrow night.

Pat

I haven't tried Jamaica Me Crazy, but these Solas are wonderful! I did get the Berry Patch into wax and it is really nice. My BF has a better nose for the different scents in it and he loves it. OOB I wasn't impressed with the Vanilla Plum, but the wax really helped that one out. And the Guavaberry!!! Really could eat that one with a spoon! Ok, I won't, but the thought was there for about a minute. Then I found the cookies. All is good.

:rolleyes2

I'm not sure about the Lemon Sugar just yet. I guess I will have to let that one sit and see if it comes out anymore. Kinda light right now.

HTH in your search for some berries.

Pat

All I can say is WOW! Those are truly lovely colors.

Great job!

The Berry Patch is kind of a weird one. Hard to nail down what kind of berries it is. The description said wild berries, I smell strawberry, but not sure what else. Its nice though. Probably would work for soaps as well.

Butterfly,

check the classies. I think there is someone who has the malibu tubes.

Scented, the tart smell is more likely tangerine. It really reminds me of the tree we had when I was growing up. I'll let you know more when it cures.

Pat

very pretty holders and candles.

Scented,

I have been debating on whether to put them in a tin or in a pillar. Either or would be good I think. The orange smoothie is kind of tart oob. But that could be just me right now. The florals are kinda clogging me up.

I will let you know as soon as I get them done. I am using a para/soy blend for the tins, and the pillar blend from KY now.

Thanks again to all of you for your great suggestions.

Pat

I do like it and I don't like florals at all. Made my BF just about die though. He doesn't tolerate the florals either. But its for a good cause. My friend is due to get married and hopefully he will like it for the tables.

So, once I ship this out and he decides if he likes it, I will have to find some place to pour.

The Bermuda Triangle is good. It reminds me of something else, but I can't put my finger on it yet. Too soon to tell I guess. But I do smell apricots, and that isn't listed on the site.

Can't wait to get more of these into wax.

Pat

Kelly,

Only thing I can tell you is go for it. Make sure you use a pillar/votive type wax. You can prewick or use wick pins. The only difference between containers and pillars are the pillars are freestanding. The techniques and ideas on the left side have some really good instructions too.

I just wanted to thank everyone for their help with the Solas order and to Fern for suggesting I try NG. I just got both orders today, and now I am a pouring fool! Poor UPS guy didn't know what hit him. I ordered 10 different oils from both. 4 ouncers from Solas, but only 1 ouncers from NG:angry2: . As everyone knows, you can't do much with one ounce.

But heres a list of what I did get

Solas

Berry Patch

Citrus Splash

Energy

Frosted Snowdrops

Guavaberry

Lemon Sugar

Orange Smoothie

Pear Tea

Vanilla Plum

White Tea & Ginger

NG

Bermuda Triangle

Black Raspberry Vanilla

Orchid Rain (thanks Fern!)

Paradise Reef

Sinus Relief

Strawberry Kiwi

Summer Sorbet

Sun Moon & Stars

Tiger Lily

Yuzu

Right now, the Bermuda Triangle is soo yummy! And I think the Orchid Rain is going to be the one I was looking for!

Shipping was really quick from NG. I ordered on monday or tuesday and its here!

Loven this...

Pat

Hi Diana,

First, welcome to the board.

Ok now the bad, I don't use the shallow tins (yet), but I also know there aren't a whole lot of threads here of people that do. I do plan on getting them in (if UPS ever gets here today!), but I planned on using the shallow for wickless. I don't know how you would be able to wick a tin that shallow. It just seems to be a really big T-light.

Good luck and I am sure someone will be along to help better than me.:tiptoe:

Pat

Really cool! I like them alot.

Those are really great looking. I really like the emerald green.

Very very pretty! I really like the martini glass with the flamingo too.

Is that the secret to getting such awesome colors?

Modhatter,

I think the EL they refer to is Enchanted Lites.

HTH Pat

Those strawberries remind me of the ones I used to get back home.

Beautiful work

Very pretty!

Thanks again Fern.

I went to NG's site and now I have more oils I want!

I will give them a try and if anyone else knows of a good orchid I would appreciate it.

Pat

You can order the shallow tins in the same ounce as the deep ones. I have been wondering the same though about using the shallow ones. And no one here has said. Odd. I did order some of the shallow ones, so I guess I will be the "tester" . :highfive:

Pat

Fern,

Thanks for your reply. I haven't tried any others. The Orchid Rain I did get has a very strong powder smell to it. Did the NG have a more orchid smell?

Thanks again.
