I Made a Neon Vaporwave Soap | Royalty Soaps

[@shayda_wolf]

To answer the question of the day, you should totally do a layer of black on top and then splatter that in the neons. That way it’ll look like a skating rink carpet on top.

[@bronwynknox3605]

OMG that would be so cute!!!!

[@corkycobon1481]

I complete second this suggestion.

[@heatherhatton2282]

Absolutely this

[@teamonger]

I think this would go a bit better with the black stamp, as well. But if you keep the top the same, I think a white stamp would look really good but still stand out against the bright colors

[@mariapizzaa]

Yesss a thin layer of black would have been perfect

[@bethlove511]

Not about this soap (which I love the *aesthetic* of) but wondering if you've ever considered a "museum/Smithsonian" collection? With soaps themed around dinos/fossils, butterflies, the deep ocean, air and space, etc? Don't ask me where the idea came from, but was thinking about how cool this month's theme is!

[@FossilOld]

That would be so cute!

[@SeanStrife]

Speaking as a fan of vaporwave... yes, you nailed it. This looks like walking in a dead mall you used to hang out at as a teenager and seeing it fall into disrepair the way it has, but you think back to the good old days that are beginning to become a blur as you wander along the corridor... and then you find yourself at a Bath & Body Works for some reason because those always tend to be the last stores to go in a dying mall. And I do, in fact, say this as a compliment. Because that, to me, is basically Vaporwave.

[@soimsha.]

Omg yes the arcades Edit: THE CARPETS

[@rachaelciunowicz9548]

As someone who has worked for Bath and Body Works for 6 years now- yes. 100%. We just closed our old store in a mall to open a new one and it was the only store drawing customers in to the old mall I grew up in🫠

[@ClaudiaDCD]

I have a plan to make a whole vaporwave bathroom interior design. It's perfect, 90s nostalgia with adult swim influence, neon lights but in the hues of purple for me, like twilight hour, so something to really relax and have fun with.

[@RoyaltySoaps]

That sounds SO cool!!!

[@chosengirl2000]

I always wanted wallpaper made out of those Magic Eye posters

[@ntcssj]

I also have been slowly vaporwave-ing one of my bathrooms for a couple years!

[@AndiNewtonian]

Katie: I'm an ancient 28. Me in my 50s: **crumbles to dust** Seriously, though, have an absolutely wonderful birthday! Age is just a number. What matters is that you're doing the things that make you happiest with the people you love the most. 🥰

[@shirleyq3023]

Same here 😂

[@monicamendez9493]

Same here, I feel ancient.

[@aleece4]

“Crumbles to dust” 😂 literally laughed out loud at that!

[@JenniferLooper]

Happy birthday, Katie!! I’m 43 and I LOVE sitting at the kids table. Kids are so much fun!

[@heathergray8283]

My partner LOVES vaporwave and his birthday is this Friday! He literally ran out of the kitchen when he heard you say “vaporwave” and was just delighted with your music choices and the end result of the soap. Spot on for all creative choices according to him! Great colors, great music, and perfect stamp 😊 Happy birthday Katie! I hope it is full of love, laughter, and fond memories ❤️

[@shayelea]

“The older I get, the less I care.”

[@kristenlambert3511]

Love this month's theme. This soap turned out funky and retro in its own right but imo if you wanted something "Vaporwave", it'd have been better to limit the palette to a few fewer shades at once, and do something geometric with the design, like diagonal stripes. An insert that looks like a triangle or something like that also could've been cool.

[@Rebecca-hm6pw]

Happy birthday!! I’m 23 and I gotta say I am perpetually impressed by the fact that you seem to like, have your act together and know what you’re doing and you’re still technically in your twenties. But I also get the frustration of not being taken seriously, the older people I work with are always just quizzing me on random stuff bc they think I’m too young to know the answers 🙃🙃🙃

[@emclinton]

Happy Birthday sweet Katie! I liked your comment about being a young wippersnapper. I just turned 50 in December, and I remember feeling upset as I was nearing 30 and feeling old. Cherish your youth. I love watching your videos. You are always so upbeat, and you make me smile. I have no idea what vaporwave is, so this is all new to me. These colors are amazing, and I'll definitely try to get one of these bars when they come out. ❤

[@MishaSims]

Happy birthday!!!! 🎉🎊🎂🎈🎁 I remember 28…. i had a husband, 5 kids, a career as a wedding designer and going back to college to get my phD in anthropology. I’m 43 now, all my kids are grown, divorced, and now completely disabled. You don’t know how you’re life is going to turn out, Katie. Just live each day like it’s your last and it’ll be so much sweeter in the end and enjoy each day you have with your family especially your kids because they grow up so fast

[@annswarmfuzzies]

At this point, why do you even need to explain your reason for a particular design, sis!? Everything you do, we love! Your tastes are glorious and your soaps are gorgeous. Calories don’t count on birthdays, so enjoy your cake! Hoppy burpday!!

[@amandapatton8641]

Absolutely, 30 was a hard one for me! I felt like my life wasn’t where I had imagined it would be. Happy Birthday!

[@rachaelmariecollins9277]

As a lover of synth and vaporware, this soap will be a serious necessity for my bathroom. Oh, and I love a swirled glittery top.

[@neoandlykkecat]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATIE!!! Have a wonderful day! This soap remind me a bit of the Gkitterati soap. Just without pastels. Hugs from Norway.

[@LuccaAce]

Stamping these with "aesthetic" is amazing. It's seriously making me giggle. Also, happy birthday 🎂 👑!

[@DezMarivette]

Happy Birthday Katie! And I agree - I was so excited to finally turn 30 and embrace the new era! Soon you shall be - ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

[@amandadeprey4250]

I actually ADORE the way you textured it in this video!! A lot of the areas look like a color changing toy or something!!! I love it!!!

[@janicemonkowski5329]

Happy birthday Duchess! We are nearly birthday twins, except that I'm looking into my 70s, not my 30s. Still 18 in my head though. Just like you. Haha.

[@MommyDontSeeMe]

Similar here - going on 60, but I’m 24 inside!

[@limalicious]

My favorite night time indulgence is soap cutting vidoes because it sounds like rain sticks when it cascades onto the table below.

[@Webdesinger71]

Love it! It gives me some strong Lisa Frank vibes, which I’m here for!

[@ProfessorChaosKitty]

Happy birthday Duchess! I've been a fan of James Herriot since I was a kid, and I've read the books many times. It's so nice to come across another fan

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

Love it! I do think the splatter top would be most true to the ~aesthetic~, but the texturing looks really good too!

[@loranna_lorannadan]

I am excited about each and every birthday I've ever had, or will have, and I just turned 61! :) Live life to the fullest. Enjoy every minute!! You're only as old as you allow yourself to feel. So feel young! Happy birthday!!

[@isabelburrows7555]

Oh my goodness, yes! I share all the feelings on being close to 30! I'm turning 29 this year, and I'm READY. 🙌🏼

[@casiehall1645]

Happy Birthday

[@angel110305]

Happy Birthday.....Have a beautiful soapy day. May you have a great day with God, Family and friends.

[@Emilymargaret5117]

Happy birthday!! I too am 28 and ready to be in my 30’s, the late 20s make you feel ancient without the number to back it up! Also, big fan of textured tops on soaps. Though as a soap maker (taught by you!) I truly never know when to stop smooshing!

[@SM-tg7vl]

900k subscribers, that’s crazy! congratulations Katie and the whole royalty soaps fam! I have no idea how many subscribers you had when I started watching you but I know it’s been years and years and years and the growth doesn’t surprise me one bit! you deserve every bit of success and opportunity and I wish you & your family and friends a happy, successful career and life!

[@Brooklyn_]

It's an honor to share birthdays with you Katie, love your channel!! Thanks for all the positivity, honesty, and incredible art! Happy Birthday!!

[@bruresende]

Hey! Very very happy bday to you, sweetie!!! I just turned 34 (oh, G!) last Saturday and I couldn't agree more with your motto "the older I get, the less I care"... That's absolutely brilliant!!! Also, splendid soap, as always!!! Lots of love from Brazil!

[@kat6919]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUCHESS OF SUDS! I haven't seen the soap yet but I am so excited for the theme!

[@heavyh3art]

the soap looks PERFECT as it is, no swirl needed!!

[@sandirenfro1738]

I really like the way the soup turned out with the texturing and glitter. Also thought the splatter technique would be perfect for this soap

[@robynwells6815]

Happy Birthday Katie! Thanks for sharing your birthday and life with us!!!

[@nikkiadams3139]

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Katie, Happy Birthday to you , and many many more!!!!!!!!!

[@Emma-cq9oy]

You should mix the mica with abit of rubbing alcohol and get like a stamp sponge so you don't waste as much mica and you can just store it and use it again just re moisten with more alcohol

[@jarajelly]

Happy happy birthday darling!! You are so loved and I’m so happy to be here with you!

[@nancysnider5348]

Loving this. Giving Rugrat vibes leaning towards Angelina's doll Cynthia.

[@almccormick85]

I'm going to be 37 this year, and my 30's have been my favorite decade so far! So much good has happened in this decade! Happy 28! Enjoy the end of your 20's! It'll go fast!

[@chaiwilliams1967]

Happy Birthday Katie!!! 🥳🎂🎉🎂🥳🎂🎉🎂🥳 Love you and your family and wish you the best day ever! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Radblondie42]

Happy birthday!!! I hope you had a blast! Thank you for taking a portion of your day to film for us! I’m also surprised to realize we are the same age!! I could’ve sworn we were a couple years apart but I’m honestly really excited that we are the same age!

[@amandastorey709]

My daughter Deb, and I, think the soap is perfect as is. We love all your videos!

[@mookzmom]

Happy birthday, my dear. And don't feel old, because in about 2.5 weeks I'll be 65! And just yesterday I was 28.😂 you bring me joy year round. I just love your happy self!❤️❤️❤️

[@Tall_Child10]

Happy Birthday Katie! I'm only 18 so I get the label of being a legal adult, but I don't feel very adult yet. The idea of becoming an adult is very scary because it feels like all I hear is adults say how much it sucks and how so many of them fear becoming thirty. They always talk about how much it sucks, but hearing you talk about how you're excited to become thirty makes me severely less afraid to be an adult. Like life doesn't just get terrible because you grow up. So thanks for being such an awesome influence and person. I really hope you have a great birthday!!

[@akdshadow]

Enjoy being 18 don't grow up it's a trap

[@TakusenX]

Hey! Someone in their 30s here! : ) I still don't feel like an adult myself either, despite the label and age. It's perfectly okay to not feel like an adult, as many of us don't! Personally, I just feel like a really big kid LOL! Many of us don't know what we want to do with the rest of our lives, or all of the things we thought we would when we were kids. Some things may sound pretty scary, but you're definitely not alone! You just kind of live and learn as you go : ) Everything will be okay!

[@cw3086]

Growing up can be scary but it's also when you get to take control of your life. Make choices, take adventures, explore new ideas. As weird as it is to grow old, I wouldn't go back to 18 if you paid me

[@rebeccaburrow7199]

Being an adult is taking responsibility for your actions and thinking of others before yourself. I have seen 70yr old children and 13yr old adults. Life is what you make it regardless of your age. 👍

[@thebrokeheiresscandles]

I'm 53 wild and free! Life doesn't slow down at a certain age, it gets more exciting! Happy Birthday sweetie!

[@UnterEngelsfluegeln]

The textured top is perfect, don't change it! Also I like the orange the way it is :)

[@kimgambrill8410]

Happy birthday to the beautiful Duchess of suds hope you have had a beautiful day and just loving the soap

[@lilsweetheartxo]

Happy birthday! Katie, you are such a positive light in the world and you deserve the best! 💕 I hope you have a wonderful day!

[@emilia.s]

Happy Birthday Katie! I'm also looking forward to getting closer to 30. I love your nails BTW. This was a fun design and the stamp was perfect. Have a great day!

[@IonIsFalling7217]

As I’m personally staring 31 in the face, my thirties are the best decade so far! My twenties SUCKED.

[@puccapunkie]

Turing 33 in less than a month... and ill say my 30s Are way better than 20s...

[@rebeccaburrow7199]

I am 30 and other than the addition of a third baby it feels the same as 28 😂

[@pandatoyou]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE!!!! 😘 I'll also be 28 in a few months and can't wait for my 30's! How exciting! Hope you have a great day xxx

[@fancyflautist]

I think you made a gorgeous soap and it's absolutely Skatium vibes, but not so much vaporwave? The stamp does help, for sure. I think the tops how you have them look really nice though :)

[@helenamirian908]

Happy Birthday! And birth month! Do all the things! You'll be 30 before you know it; enjoy not hurting all the time.

[@hazelboyce7230]

Happy birthday Katie, Enjoy to the max and keep doing you, full of joy.

[@torches2011]

As a VERY late 80's ('89)/early 90's, I loved this!! Also reminded me of Saved By The Bell! haha Happy Birthday Katie!

[@kdi3610]

Happy birthday! Blessings to the moon and back through the stars for you!! Keep enjoying the rollercoaster ride til 30 haha don't forget to give back to yourself:)

[@hollyjacobs6598]

The top of this soap with the glitter reminds me of Jellies shoes and I looooooveee itttt!!! ❤️

[@sarahrune5318]

A decades series would be so cool and something like this soap is screaming 80’s.

[@jasminsantana1347]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE🎂🎁🎈🎉🥰!!! Wishing you many more years of success, happiness, love, laughter, peace, and growth💕💖. May you make a multitude of memories, that keep your heart full forever🥰

[@daigbogu]

I like the "wave" on top of the vaperwave aesthetic soap as is.

[@elyseparker5333]

HBD Katie! As a November baby I was always jealous of summertime birthdays. Hope yours is a summery blast!

[@meg2831]

When you did the close up on the pink and purple spot it reminded me of a barbie shoe. I dig the colors!

[@tinacravens3731]

I believe the colors and texture you went with look the best. The stamp would look great in silver.

[@corkycobon1481]

First off, happy birthday Mrs. Carson. I hope the hubs and the youngins treated you like the absolute QUEEN you are. Wishing you many more years of love, laughter and soap!! Secondly, I am positively in LOVE with this soap. The colors are totally 80s and I am completely having flashbacks of my neon jellies and rubber bracelets Ala Madonna. Total 1985 flashback!!

[@shannonoakley-moore2292]

Love love love this soap! Takes me back to my skating days!! For the question of the day,.I love it as is!!

[@ritzarze]

Wish you a very happy birthday Sweets.... Keep shining as always and keep that energy high always... God bless 🤗🤗

[@meganjames1034]

I recently found your channel and have been obsessed (which I really mean because I've been spending most all of my downtime watching your channel)!!!!!! Not kidding when I say that seeing your designs, hearing your thought processes, watching you stay optimistic when your batches fail- it's been very inspiring and has helped (to an extent) pull me out of creative shutdown and depression. And, from what I see in your videos, I feel like we would be good friends irl, but would likely get in trouble for acting like 8 year olds all day haha. Happy birthday, and thank you for sharing this lovely part of your life with us 😊

[@cjherbie4752]

Happy birthday, Katie! I like the textured pushy smushy look, it gives the top some contrast.

[@marthfador]

I really like how you made the chunky sort of shapes on top with the popsicle stick, I feel like that fits in with the vaporwave theme! But I feel like if you want *Vaporwave* vs just *Neon Aesthetic* you'd want more pale blues and purples with maybe one or two vibrant pinks or oranges to be the sort of pop-out neon color on the wavy blue background! If you can get a color stamp to match the neon part too, that'd be spectacular! (Or I think a silvery, shimmery glitter would be super cute too!)

[@beccamullikin1366]

I always like the swirl!!! It would go with the swirls in the soap.

[@butterflyminder]

Many happies, Duchess! I would definitely go with a bit more swirl - the first bar you stamped is about the level I'd suggest. It's the big blobs of darker blue that kind of overwhelm the vibe you're trying to achieve. :) (Also: cake is NEVER a bad idea.)

[@gurpaful]

I've been watching your older videos lately and I'm so glad you got a lapel mic at some point, it really makes a huge difference! Thanks for all the fun videos

[@arizonaaannie]

Happy Birthday! The soap has a real retro, kind of groovy for me. It’s gorgeous.

[@tinapliagas3259]

Can't wait to order this 😍 I think keep the top textured! It's so pretty and I think since there's already so many swirls inside, it gives it the cool diagonal/geometric shape vibe that is also in a lot of these vaporware graphics!

[@gwenp3450]

Happy birthday! Don't change anything about this design. It's awesome!

[@arikas_designs23]

Happy birthday Katie! My room is inspired by this sort of aesthetic with the neon lights and sunflowers. My room was a sunflower theme but I added more lights and fun things like this. It's made a comeback. I love the textured top. I think it looks amazing the way it is but add more glitter! It wasn't enough! Always add more glitter Katie!

[@aryadarklove4942]

Happy Birthday Kathie! Thank you for inspiring us every day and for the love and care you give to all of us.

[@Internetwinning]

The Orange is giving me nickelodeon vibes and the green for slime. We need some old kids show soaps. Nickelodeon was everything for me! Also Care Bears soap!!

[@shelleyhardage4483]

Happy Birthday! I totally feel ya about 30, I felt the same way back then! I was the in-betweenie in my family, watched by older cousins then I was the babysitter to their kids so I was stuck at that dang kiddie table FOREVER! 🤣 As for your soap making skills ~ you kill it girl! Such beautiful designs! I have learned a lot from watching your videos ~ thank you and bless you! 🥰

[@skyydancer67]

Enjoy that cake! That's the best plan ever, irregardless of birthdays

[@mariapizzaa]

Ooh this is probably one of my favorite swirls ever! Sometimes i don't think drop swirls mix enough, but this is perfect!

[@ew1172]

I definitely like the textured soap. I think swirl would look good but risks muddy colors

[@stacik8626]

The colors, the smell, ima need me this soap!!!!!!

[@sierra_2016]

The soap is giving me kind of 70s psychedelic vibes and I’m obsessed 🤩 with it

[@linkhs]

Being on the other side, I honestly felt the same way you currently feel about turning 30. No one can argue that you're not an adult anymore! It's a really freeing feeling.

[@lorrainemunoa791]

Happy Level Up Day! You are definitely an adulty adult. And young at heart which is vital.

[@HopeC2022]

Happy Birthday! As someone who just turned 30 I can say for once I did FEEL older. But in a good way. I’m so glad my 20’s are gone. I’m not old, at all, but I’m not a kid, and I’ve gotten a lot of the biggest, most stupid decisions out of the way that we all make in our teens and 20’s and learned from them thank goodness! I feel like a legitimate adult now. So weird but so cool!

[@denisestich8731]

Happy Birthday Kiddo!! And that soap is TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!

[@aluralootube]

You are hysterical! Happy Birthday! Good luck at making the adult table!!

[@jellyem]

Happy birthday~ Hah, you darn kid! I'm turning 40 next month and having a huge breakdown about it. But I might have to buy a bar of some of these soaps to help ease my fuss. This one is SO GOOD I love it. This whole set like my childhood for sure.

[@bluerabbit4010]

This would look so good surrounded in black, if you could do all sides and top that is. That would look so cool ❤

[@one2tinker]

I hope you had a very happy birthday, Katie! I've got nearly a decade on you, and I still don't feel like a grown up. :)
