Watermelon soap - still haven’t found the pinks I’m looking for

Did you read that and hear U2 in your head? You’re welcome, if so
Wrapping these today. Feels like my 700th batch of Watermelon soap - BB Watermelon Sugar FO. Still on the quest to find the combo of pinks I want. This isn’t it, either. I used 3 different pink parts: BB Magenta; BB Raspberry; and a mix of MM Sakura and MM Tickled Pink. I believe the Magenta is the one that turned more brownish than I wanted.

Like the seeds in the punks. I like that fragrance oil, nice to work with.

Yes! I did go straight to U2 in my head!
How about Trial by Fire - red? If you use a little less it will go pink.

Oh thanks @KiwiMoose - I have some but haven’t used it yet…. Will do next time and report back!
Is that the one where there was “an incident” at your place?

Wow! Those look good enough to eat!

I would try adding some of the red to the pink to get closer to what you are probably looking for. Which pinks do you have available to play with? VooDoo from Mad Micas might work. Rose pink from Nurture is also a very versatile pink. But the soaps really look great as they are to me!

I mix Nurture Soap's Wanderlust with Neon Red at a 1:1 ratio. It makes a very punchy pinkish red.

Might not be what you want but I use firecracker from Nurture - notorious for not making red. I like the very slightly peach tone it makes.
