The level of detail is amazing.

[@user-mq4nq1uv8l]

If companies actually spent time and made quality dolls like this, I'd be poor by now I swear to God.👌😂

[@Boredchinchilla]

You can get the face up done by most companies- I think they do a great job, especially the big ones. I even got a knock off from Korea that had one of my fav face ups ever....and she was $80

[@cjp5485]

[@cringyoldme1949]

Yeah

[@aonairskies]

I don't know why you don't have millions of subs.You are extremely talented :)

[@sehnlee]

Because talented people are not wanted by billion of low-intelligent ones. These people want only more stupid stunts and this is their meaning of life.

[@thuhienlong2807]

+Sehn Lee Hyori Wakasa 2o0llalli pi wave

[@sophiastewart3665]

Or maybe some people simply aren't interested

[@Hoparound21]

These are so beautiful. I've never found myself wanting a doll until now, you make them look so lovely.

[@p00princess]

please do my face ;_;

[@camilaindriago1076]

This is art. Really. I just discovered this chanel, and I love what you do.

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

+camila Indriago thank you and welcome :)

[@TheGrey88]

Wow, you always make it look so effortless...especially the eyebrows and lines. The colours are just wonderful as well. Such talent you have!

[@_GunpowdertheGabite]

I find these video extremely relaxing and not to mention inspirational

[@ashlinelson1830]

I'll bet you're AMAZING at doing make up

[@tracymcgraw23]

I just keep watching these over and over and I cant get over how absolutely beautiful these dolls turn out being.. you are an artist...

[@katrinagenova9738]

I think watching you repaint dolls is the most satisfying thing I've ever seen... :)

[@evantuallythere4174]

Just the plain doll face reminded me of Link from The Legend of Zelda

[@samuelsolanagonzalez3603]

Link is the princess,zelda is the boy dressed up in green

[@ela4621]

+Irene Solana González uuhhmm.... Link is the boy and Zelda is the princess.. LoL

[@samuelsolanagonzalez3603]

+Mono nokey lol i know i was joking

[@ela4621]

+Irene Solana González haha xD my bad

[@rubyb9662]

LINK IS THE BOY! ZELDA IS THE PRINCESS! It bothers me so much when people get that wrong

[@OhmAimA]

These videos are so relaxing !

[@artbydrbee]

Andreja!!!! I FOUND IT!!! This was THE VIDEO I watched all those years ago, and it TRIGGERED me to begin my art journey! THANK-YOU so much, and you will never know just how IMPACTFUL your work has been, to my art journey ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Even though my art does not involve doll faceups, seeing you create this (and many others), inspired me to try art as well!! And now, I cannot imagine going through life without making art! So THANK-YOU for all of your videos, and for showing us all how JOYFUL it can be to CREATE something!! Just MAGICAL! I subscribed then, and I will always be a loyal subscriber 🤗🤗🤗 Thank-you for your dedication to art, and for putting in all of the hard work that it took for you to bring that to all of us ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏

[@GeodeRegan22]

I recently found your videos and I have to say that they are really relaxing. Especially with the soundtrack you used in this video. I'm going to favorite this one.

[@ASpookyWitch]

I just started watching videos like this and it really makes me want to start repainting dolls too because your repaints look so amazing, what would you suggest as a tip to someone who isn't SUPER talented artwise? As far as practice I mean.

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

+Emily Blackheart well first of all it is good to note that no one ever called me "talented" when i was a beginner ;) people only started calling me that after years of practice, sweat and tears. So my biggest tip is keep practicing and enjoy doing it, eventually you will push through mistakes which will improve your skills.

[@jiniasmakeuptutorial6031]

Nicolle's Dreams Are your so talented:)

[@khunglongchannel8678]

Emily Blackheart jujsjsjssusjusjd

[@gabriellamarquez5103]

[@quinnstuart8940]

OK, now from what this *was*, I'm very happy to see what it *is* now. Good job, Andreja!

[@theotherkimmy6232]

[@dreamingmiki750]

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

+Dreaming Miki i am happy to hear that! :)

[@marimynxx748]

omg i feel the same way! i love to watch her work

[@dreamingmiki750]

***** its like watching oddly satisfying videos on youtube, except you get something beautiful at the end! ^-^

[@bekahshook901]

I'm actually quite fond of the music now... Is calming. At first I didn't like it but I watched the videos so much that I grew accustomed!

[@kingawierzbicka6417]

I started watching and couldn't stop...it's so relaxing! The way you create these beutiful litle faces - amazing:-)

[@lizzieivy845]

Does anyone else think it looks like a gelfling from The Dark Crystal

[@abbylydia8347]

Oh my gosh yes I was just thinking of that

[@melcarrington567]

+Abby Lydia omg yaaasss

[@Piccolo95]

Omg yes that's what I've been trying to say

[@Battle_Butterfly_]

Yess!!

[@imjustasnail]

i dont really play with dolls because.. well, im 16.. but these i actually want. They're just so beautiful.

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

+Erika Peterson age doesn't matter ;) most of the people in this hobby are adults of all ages.

[@imjustasnail]

+Nicolle's Dreams haha, that's true.

[@ej8267]

+Nicolle's Dreams ما شا الله الفن اين ما ذهبت يوجد

[@indigogonzalez7646]

That is the most gorgeous doll I have ever seen! You truly are gifted.

[@meow-fg5ed]

I love how the makeup turned out, it has some drama but still gives the doll a natural look. I love it its great!

[@emmaball2844]

It's so pretty! I wish I could do something like this! (I suck)

[@jasminelee7534]

Emma ball well you can do it step by step it's okay when you follow her materials and does mistakes because their faceup can be removed, it's not permanent.

[@poop-fz1mr]

I HAVE A CHALLENGE FOR YOU NICOLLE please do a tutorial about face up without airbrush

[@vangoore]

ya do it

[@dollswithbeats7437]

+Nutella Pon check her older videos. She used to use brushes and watercolor pencils only.

[@vangoore]

hi

[@amberwestenkirchner1982]

I just used this as a makeup tutorial, love it!! I used plain white base and now I look like this doll!

[@SA-yw5uw]

you put so much detail into your work. You are an extraordinary artist, i honestly admire your brilliant work.

[@GiulerPowerGamer]

Daaamn awesome!

[@lenkiyoumi]

How do you use the pencils and keep them sharpe?? I'm so confused...how to you do the black eye makeup??? You should do a step by step make up

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

I made a video all about keeping pencils sharp :D You can find it on my channel

[@desereyb]

We're did you buy the dolls?

[@kamilacervera7005]

lenkiyoumi

[@kamilacervera7005]

lenkiyoumi wow

[@desereyb]

Kamila Cervera thx

[@TheArchDandy]

Seriously considering comissioning for my dolls... your work is lovely!

[@honkedgoose6290]

You are such a talented artist! I was so impressed with the final look.😊

[@lizka1453]

вот так и создаются шедевры!

[@cam3275]

Dang it, I forwarded through the entire video to see how you inserted the eyes, and you didn't show it! :c Whyyyy

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Because this is a faceup process, and inserting eyes is not part of it. Check my Back to Basics if you want to see how to add eyes to a BJD.

[@cam3275]

Aaaah, okay! That makes perfect sense. Thanks! ^_^

[@lovelvm8252]

+Nicolle's Dreams shfo dlfmadl anjdpdy?

[@katmynv.2724]

why d....butt why that a user 0__0

[@mia-gachaandmore9155]

+Nicolle's Dreams Did You Make The Eyes Or, Bought It?

[@AyveeDeamon]

I am speechless... your work is amazing !!

[@WabbyDoo]

Not even sure why I clicked on this video, but I can't say it wasn't a good choice. The combination of the smartly selected music and art taking place is very relaxing.

[@agaiths1221]

Oh no, until there are lips, hair and eyes, the doll looks almost like Solas from Dragon Age Inquisition... Beautiful work though.

[@DelphineEraklea]

Agaith s DAMN IT I AM PLAYING IT NOW SILENCE I DONT WANT TO LISTEN TO IT I ROMANCED WITH HIM 7 TIMES OUT OF 9 DONT MAKE MY HEART HURT AGAIN

[@noz8806]

I want to start out customising dolls, but I'm not sure exactly how to get good at it. Is it just trial and error like everything else, or is there something different to it? Any tips? Could I just practise on one doll head and keep removing it until I get it right? I don't want to waste money on loads of doll heads to just then mess up and have to throw it out.

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

+Кσυյαкυ • 紅雀 Yes, that is correct. Like any new skill that you decide to learn, it is all about the time you are willing to invest in mastering it. I’d say 20% is research and 80% is practice. None of my repaints are permanent, so as long as you paint them using the correct materials and doing it the usual way, you can certainly remove them and repaint the same doll 100+ times.

[@noz8806]

Nicolle's Dreams Thanks, i really appreciate it ^^

[@CielPhantomhivexSebastian]

I was just about to ask this question. I'm not a doll person, but I'm pretty crafty, and love art.. I think I may take this up as a hobby.

[@rosewaters2533]

This is so beautiful! I'm glad to have found you!

[@askenoe]

It's beautiful! I've just discovered this tipe of art and i already love it! :D ♥ you are very talented! :)

[@madchara2410]

Can you do a doll whis youre apparence ? Same face, same hair-cut ? ( Sorry I'm really a shit in english 😅)

[@nellekx]

I have a question.. will washing the dolls head with warm water remove or damage the face up? Im asking because I'd like to edit just a bit of the face up and would need to wash it afterwards to remove the nail polish remover/alcohol and I don't want to ruin the whole face >< Btw awesome vid as always ^^

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

PaperBuddy Yes it most likely will, this is why it is important to keep your doll in a dry environment so that the sealant doesnt start flaking or get affected in some other way over time. Also removing only part of the faceup might not work for you (depending on the faceup and resin colour of the doll) because when you are using the necessary liquid be it nail polish remover or something else, it will break down the sealant and change it's colour to white when dry. This is why when people remove faceups so many times there are these white marks around the creases of the eyes, nose and ears where the person hasn't scrubbed the sealant all the way through.

[@pinkiepie4104]

Nicolle's Dreams I always put neverwet when I make custom dolls at home and follow your tutorials

[@nellekx]

Nicolle's Dreams Ohh I see... i'll keep that in mind! thanks for your advice :)

[@jodihoffman4293]

[@moppyhuh6827]

+KittyQueen you can bye it online or from a store

[@EllaGayRat666]

How long does it take to make one of these?

[@jasminelee7534]

A Tin Cup if a beginner like us might took weeks, if a pro might took a day or hours only

[@Karolina_GELT]

I want to buy some of this dolls with your paint. They are so beautiful!

[@thatcrazyawesomename5845]

I've only seen a few of your videos, but they are amazing! I hope that you can continue doing this, because one day I want to support you, because your talent should not be wasted. (Sorry if that seems too cocky, or overzealous. I just really like your art.)

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

+ThatCrazyAwesomeName thank you so much :)

[@camilabarahona6532]

[@1sixscalecrafter351]

Hi Nicolle's Dreams: I hope you are doing well? I found your channel but this video is over 3 years old. No biggie, just saying It was a pleasure watching you do the Doll head Faceup Stories: 23. You are awesome, super talented, and love the video. Thank you for sharing. I liked and subscribed, Excellent Job! She turned out Beautiful and sweet. Wishing you the very best. Take care, Keep on Dreaming, and Crafting your passions.

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

+1SixScaleCrafter Thank you very much

[@PullipAsper]

Your customs are just nothing but gorgeous!!! *O* Everything you do is just purely flawless! It is easy to fall in love with your work. I have been admiring your work for a long time and I wanted to start doll customizing I thought you would be one of first to ask! :3 I was thinking of starting with Pullip dolls, but i am not sure what would be the best brand of pencils or the right kind of airbrush? I look forwards to see more of your beautiful works! :D

[@melisawesome162]

That's so cool! It looks so real!

[@angelcampbell6341]

By Far My Favourite! So Beautiful!! :)

[@ralarasha]

Can I ask something? Okay, I wanted to try out my new derwents on some rubber so I got an old barbie and tested it's face a little. But every time I got that perfect point for my pencil, I would gently put it on the face, and the point would chip off! I ended wasting a centimeter trying and trying to sharpen it up again. How do i keep the perfect point? How can I prevent chipping?

[@imdacs]

Your work is very beautiful, I have watched other ones.. I have a request.. Freckles would be so adorable on one of these elagent dolls. 😍😍

[@snilloclirpa]

Andreja You could use red blue tack or another red sticky material for sticking the eyes in because if there are any crevasses then it looks like the corner of an eye😊

[@mysterious1449]

I ❤️ Nicolle's dream channel. I love your dolls and what you do. This is true art I love art I subscribed you by the way😀

[@hannahmorse5701]
