elitenaildesign Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 This is a grapefruit/peppermint eo blend that was an instant soap on a stick and couldnt get my colors in like Id hoped for. It smells good and had way too many oils to just throw out. Quote
Scent Cellar Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 That is strange as I have soaped with both of those e/os and had plenty of time for swirling. Pretty colors in your soap, nice & springy looking. Quote
8-GRAN-ONES Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 i bet it smells wonderful..i love you colors..and i don't think it looks bad at all.you will be surprised how good it will look, once you cut it, into bars..did you bounce it on the floor a few times?i do that when i have soap that sets up fast..to try and get it settled down in the mold as good as can be..be sure to post cut pictures..

elitenaildesign Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 That is strange as I have soaped with both of those e/os and had plenty of time for swirlingIt traced before I even got the eo's in which really threw me off. Ive already decide this is a good time to try and make soap balls. Quote
Meridith Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 It looks like the soap will have a beautiful textured top. I think it looks great. Quote
Firefly Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 That doesn't look bad at all. Once it's cut and bevelled it will look really nice. I would not turn this into soap balls unless it doesn't cure right.The colours are pretty. Quote
mona01 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Though being still a newbie, here's my thoughts:Leave it as is, cut it and I bet you'll love the pieces!And yes, the colours are pretty! Quote
Scented Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 God that means the soap fairies are close to here again if they're messing with you lol! I absolutely love the colors and want to know how to get them!Hope it turns out better than you think. Quote
soapbuddy Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Can you still save it by some beveling? I like the colors. Quote
cwayneu Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Wow, you really did it. The balls remind me of one of our redo projects.We had a batch of Cream Brulee that turned the whole lot so brown it was not usable. We ran the entire batch through a salad shredder. We then made a new batch with titanium oxide to get a light cream color, stirred in the brown shreds, used some heart and cameo molds, and presto - some OK and usable soap. It seems like a lot of folks hate Cream Brulee, but I just love that FO. I guess I am weird... Quote
Wildcrafter Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I'm in agreement that once the bars are cut, they'll look great. I don't see anything wrong with that soap at all. I do know that we can be our own worst critics. Don't ball it! We may have to start a Save The Soap campaign!Oops, I posted and then saw your pics. The balls look beautiful and so do the bars. They'll sell, either way! Quote
Ring of Fire Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I'll take it off your hands.:smiley2: Looks great to me. Quote
