Select Shades...

[ShoogieScents]

I am thinking about purchasing Select Shades for my soap colorant, but was wondering if anyone can post any pics of their soaps using Select Shades?

Thanks,

Check out the Celestial Colors....I use both SS and Celestial and prefer the Celestial by a huge margin.

Do you have any pics that you can share that you have used Celestial Colors with?

You can take a look at my etsy shop and look in the handmade soap section, a lot of my soap colors lately have been with select shaded.

Kymber, why do you prefer one over the other? I am thinking of trying celestial colors as well. But select shades seems to be more economical since you can create a lot of colors with just the 8 bottles.

i find that I get true to color using the Celestial......the SS are hit and miss for me and I am not sure why as I measure exact and do not have a high OO recipe either. I prefer the boldness of the Celestial.

I use SS and love them. Here are some soaps using them that I made:

IF you look at my post I recently did in the gallery, everyone of those were done with select shades

All of mine in the last two-three months minus the blacks are SS.

SS is all I use. The following soaps were all done with these colorants. I love mine.

I use both....though like Kymber, I'm loving the Celetial Colors more than the Select Shades....though I do LURVE SS Lime Blossom and True Blue and the base Aquamarine.....

Here we go...from top row across....

1st row: uncolored, CC, CC, CC, SS

2nd row: cocoa powder, CC, SS, CC, CC

3rd row: CC, CC, CC, SS, cocoa powder

Of course....you could just get them both!

Thanks for all the replies. I placed an order for some Celestial colors yesterday. Will post some pics once I get to batch with them

Here is a for example....... Yesterday I made 3 batches of my tallow soap. The one was Lavender & Sweet Sage. I usually use a Lavender Fields color from MMS but it at times likes to leave specs of color which I do not like. So I thought OK what out of my SS or CC colors is close to lavender. I decided on SS Lilac (light lavender) of some sort with a sage green swirl for the sweet sage. Well this morning I have PINK and sage green. Again the SS were way off on the lilac but right on with the sage. I truely do get much better consistancy with my CC. Let us know how you like them!!
