I used Johnson's baby oil because its clear, it has no colour/hue to it. A few drops of washing-up liquid in a large glass bowl of water, wait a few minutes for the bubbles to disperse then add a few drops of the oil to the water. I used coloured card beneath the bowl for the different shades of colour with a flash pointed at the base of the bowl.
