1. To get started, we need:
-0.5 kg of a transparent soap base (I prefer English, very good at work).
- The dye is blue (see that the dye is non-migratory, i.e. does not dissolve at the base, clearly keeps its color and border).
-Foil is ordinary food (we need to mash it slightly).
-Fragrance (of your choice and taste, I chose tropical fruits).
- Mother of pearl is blue.
- Brush (plain watercolor).
-Titanium dioxide (this is a powder that paints the base in white, previously diluted in water. If it is difficult or uncomfortable for you, take a white soap base).
-Alcohol (it is impossible to work without it).
-Figura knife (beautifully cuts off the edge of the finished soap, if you do not have any trouble, it will just be a straight edge).
- Tanks and sticks for mixing.

Important: before pouring the base and after all, spray with alcohol. In the first case, to remove bubbles, and in the second for linking layers.
2. We take a rectangular shape for our future soap, maybe plastic, but I preferred silicone. It is easy to get a piece of the base from it, the minus of this form is that it is opaque, the result is not visible after each stage of work. At the bottom, lay out the rumpled foil and sprinkle everything with alcohol.

3. We cut the base into cubes, divide it into 3 parts: 2 small and one large for the middle of our soap, we heat the part in the microwave at medium power. You can use a water bath for melting, to whom it is more convenient. You can not bring the base to a boil, it is better slower and longer.

4. Add 5-6 drops of blue dye and 3-4 drops of flavor, mix not much, trying not to create unnecessary unnecessary bubbles; Look at the color intensity, if you want brighter, add a few more drops of paint.

5. Fill the foil with a base layer of about 1 cm, wait until a dense cooled layer appears. It is important to wait for the layer to freeze, not to fill it with too hot a substrate, it can melt the bottom layer and then there will be no clear color boundaries.

6. We drown most of the base, add 1-2 teaspoons of titanium dioxide diluted in water, 6-7 drops of flavor, mix and pour into a mold, wait for a dense layer.

7. We melt the remaining small part of the base, add 3-4 drops of blue dye, 2-3 drops of flavor and pour into the mold.

8. Leave the form with soap for 2-3 hours to solidify well. The piece turned out to be quite thick, you need to let it dry. Then, we carefully remove the foil from the mold and carefully remove the foil from the top, the process is quick and painstaking.

9. We take a brush, soak it a little and dip it in the mother of pearl, then carefully (so as not to overdo it) we apply the mother of pearl to the very tips of the vertices.

We got a big bar of soap, from it you can cut a few smaller pieces, align the edges with a curly knife and our mountain peak sparkles in all its glory! We give the finished soap to lie in the air for another day, and then it is already possible to pack.
