Thank you so much for sharing all this information with us and for showing us how you do your face-ups! I decided to order a Hujoo Wings doll as a "starter/practice" doll but wonder how different it will be since these dolls are made of ABS Plastics instead of Resin. I ordered all the same supplies you use on the resin but am now worried they are not going to work on this doll. Do you know if they will work? Any information will be greatly appreciated!
You mentioned you seal often and listed 3 different sealants. Can I JUST use mr super clear, or do I need different kinds of sealants for each step?
How long do you wait for the sealant to dry before you start working again? How far away do you hold the can while you spray, and how do you know when you've applied enough?
So incredibly inspirational! I just watched all of your videos.
I find it hardest to seal the face-ups... Do you have any special tips for that? I've seen some people build spraying booths but I don't know too much about it.
I'm so gonna go out and update my materials a bit!
I have a question that I didn't see on there. When you're finished with the face-up and you want a change after a certain amount of time for the doll, how do you remove everything? Do you use something specific?
I gave your tutorials a try today, and I seemed to have the same problem as a few others with the watercolor pencil scraping the sealer into a lump instead of doing a line. Could this be due to sealer not having dried properly in the eyelids? Under eyes the pencils worked wonders.
Thank you for this informative video! I'm a huge fan of your work and I love every video you've released so far.
I have a question about the shimmer powder you use. Do you use mainly white, or do you use colors specific to the part of the face you're blushing? I'm new to using the shimmer powders and I'd love to hear more about their purpose in faceups. Thank you!
Yay one of my questions got replied! ^^ Thanks so much for your kindness of sharing everything in the videos! it's amazing to see how you work!
But I should say I was really impressed when I discovered you use gouache instead of acrylics for the paint parts!! I should be a sin to be so good with that! XD I'm terrible with gouache and can never paint right with it XD Do you dilute it a lot in water, or you just use it concentrated? o.o
Thanks again for the great video! Jess is such a cutie! ^o^
Absolutely stunning, I'm a 30yr old guy who collects and builds horror and sci fi model kits, but this is next level brilliance. Utterly beautiful. I really want to get my own BJD now. So inspired. wonderful work! x
@buttondiet Wow, your comment was so respectfull I just felt I should reply too. I'm a BJD collector and feel rather proud to see a commend lke this in NicollesDreams videos, 'cause she's a very inspiring artist indeed and it's good to see a guy that collects horror and sci-fi kits so interested in ABJDs! I hope you feel welcome in the community!
@JustYuna Thanks so much! It's a pleasure. I feel like I have discovered a whole new world to immerse myself in! I am in such awe at the ethereal beauty of these dolls. x
Very informational and helpful!!

@JustYuna you need to make paints to milk like consistency to be able to use it with the airbrush, so yeah you must dilute it with water.
