Default NS Uniques

Hi, all ~ I just found a box hidden in the back of a cabinet with the following Northstar Uniques.

Wondering if anyone has used these and what they might do. Thought I'd ask instead of getting brain drain trying to experiment

Peachy Purple
Lean Green Machine
Rose Water
Algae
Darkest Night
Ghostly Images
Blue Stardust
Double Café latte
Exit to Oz
Deep Blue Lagoon

I also have some Mai Tai 07061Ud which I have used a bit of and left in the kiln for months, I think to get it to strike

Thanks in advance! Leslie

I am familiar with a couple of those colors just slightly. I know Blue Stardust is actually a TAG color

Thanks, Otter! I remember that now. Tried Ghostly Images yesterday and even being real careful it bubbled. One, I got kind of translucent white with a bit of blue and then next is just a dirty red brown ~ working this one longer. I know Exit to Oz tends to liver

Lean Green Machine is fantastic. I liked Ghostly Images too...don't remember it being snarky and bubbly, just a warm fabulous color silver fumed, like old bones. I have one rod left of each of those hoping they'll multiply while I'm not looking. lol
Rose Water was nasty imo. Livered if you looked at it wrong. Algae wasn't too bad but it had to be worked pretty cool or it rusted. Kind of too much trouble for a trans green, I still have a bunch.
Personally, I didn't like Peachy Purple much. Probably the name let me down, I never got purple, but pinky peach.

Thanks, Rebecca! Will have to try silver fuming Ghostly Images. Have not gotten to the rest of the colors. Maybe Peachy Purple for flowers. Will let you know if I figure out anything wondrous
