"It's pretty simple but I hope you like it." HAH! ... Rlly? You think that is simple? Lady I can't draw a straight line.

[@elenor2387]

lol,best comment

[@Helmi268]

That's why we have rulers.

[@Sugarfairy89]

Not all of us like the company of... rulers.. `-`)/ __

[@kawaiilluminati1101]

lmao :D

[@lacie9861]

You can't draw a straight line _without_ _a_ _ruler_ if you can't draw a straight line _with_ a ruler, I would go see a neurologist right now

[@isa-cj3lq]

do i wanted to do it - yes do I have patience - no do I have materials - no do I draw so well as you - no

[@cheeryberrie]

Isabel Mosquera you have the will bro (Ｔ▽Ｔ)

[@mehmehmeh6130]

She took years and years to be as good as she is now...

[@sashasahadi368]

yeaa u have to believe in yourself it takes awhile to build up the skills and the collection of everything u need but u can do it!!

[@aloynails960]

LITERALLY ME AND EVERY PROJECT I HAVE EVER WANTED TO DO

[@briennabradley]

Hey that's how we all start

[@karenflower6894]

I would never be able to afford any of this stuff, but just watching these videos makes me happy enough.

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

+Karen Flower awww :)

[@addisongillies1038]

Nicolle's Dreams ff m

[@etwas1119]

Karen Flower ㅌ

[@karenflower6894]

Jordyn Smith Mine?

[@angelmusic6198]

Karen Flower I so agree

[@satanswifi9801]

WHY ARE THESE VIDEOS SO CALMING AND SATISFYING TO WATCH. I can't stop. it's like I've been sucked into a black hole and can't get out. I don't even like dolls, they freak me out. but idk why I can't stop watching. she's an amazing artist and her work is mesmerizing. 😍

[@destinysykes4167]

I don't usually watch videos like this but I seen the thumbnail and I instantly was like "THATS SO PRETTY OMG!!" prolly gonna watch a bunch of your videos now💜💜💜💜

[@Skelakitty5]

same thing happened with me lol

[@estellemeowia4531]

[@Ana-lh9hs]

Nicolle's Dreams I have the Catrine Doll :D

[@HeXtian]

Honestly so obsessed with this lovely doll! Your cat is represented very well!

[@RivalJohnnie]

AHHH. HEXTIAN SENSEI

[@emelymenendez1069]

hextian here? yus plz *-*

[@rnilfshakes]

Hextian >.

[@olananh9991]

HeXtian! I love your dolls!

[@annapandalee4915]

I LOVE YOUR WORK

[@PixieBulb]

What a stunning face up! She is absolutely stunning. I love seeing different artists work on the Monster High dolls, they have such lovely sculpts and I love watching amazing artists like you transform them into something unique. I think I'll take a peek at some of your other work now!

[@RumerPriestly]

Twist: This channel is secretly Marzia, a side project for when she gets bored.

[@carmenm.5209]

XD The world may never know!

[@ahiveofbees3296]

it really does sound like her

[@lavux4937]

Pretty sure she has showed her face before. Especially on her instagram...

[@scarletsofia7553]

I was thinking that the whole time

[@zariawinter4725]

It's a joke Lavux.

[@melancholics_7808]

When she gave it two different coloured eyes and said "some of you will already know who this is meant to be." I was like "uhhh... David Bowie?"

[@kinderhorrortalealizafrisk8362]

xD

[@elina11.]

yesss 💝

[@Yamashta]

His eyes weren't different colors. Light exposure and a variety of other things played a role in the color appearance of his eyes, but his eyes ( in truth ) were the same color.

[@stahppls2293]

+山下オリバー No, he had two, but it wasn't biological. he was punched in the eye as a kid by his friend (because David stole his girl) and the damage caused a color change

[@Yamashta]

+Danielle Balanga He had mechanical anisocoria. His eyes were gray-blue and the fight you mentioned damaged the dilating muscle in his left eye. If you actually knew what you were talking about, you'd have known that. In older age, the eye as a whole began to fail and the pigment began to alter to a mustardy tone, but that happened much later in life. A majority of his public life and career they were the same color. unedited and lightly edited photos can tell you that, and well-informed books will touch the subject as well.

[@Kyonxharuhi2]

this ones probably my favorite, your customs are do beautiful

[@Kyonxharuhi2]

so*

[@lilahoney]

These are so aesthetically pleasing. Can you make a video about how to renovate a doll on a budget?

[@ZimVader-0017]

I love this transformation. I always love how you draw the eyes, but in this case my appreciation was amplified because in the original face paint the eyes are a bit disturbing to me. I don't know why, I just don't like how they made her eyes in the doll factory. Your design is better, they should hire you for this.

[@izzatulzulkiflee1526]

And they should make her doll limited edition because it's hard to draw so many doll at one time

[@stahppls2293]

+Izzatul Zulkiflee high end dolls look like these. like the limited edition Barbies that are made to look like classic Hollywood beauties such as Liz Taylor

[@purple455]

she works at a doll making company, so yeah, she's already been hired

[@np3410]

Zim Vader0017 Ffdsrk NC gkv

[@np3410]

Zim Vader0017 vc

[@eternal8song]

this doll is absolutely adorable! theres just something about how you do their faces that I can't help loving to bits

[@juliebroon]

When you cut off the hair and poked tweezers up her neck ;-; I felt like I was seeing a murder take place 😖👹

[@bugz3193]

oml

[@deleteduser7407]

Same, but it was so satisfying to me

[@nyaball]

Om same

[@deleteduser7407]

_15 people agreed with me, aw yeah_

[@dossgirl64]

+Angel Jade Playzzz 16 now lol

[@KittenStitcher]

This is lovely -- I enjoyed watching you create, and you are very generous to share your talent and time with the KZbin community.

[@LayllasLocker]

May I ask where are you from? :] you sound like you are from some of the ex Yugoslavian countries. I just discovered you, amazing work.

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Good catch, I was born in Slovenia but I moved to Australia after high school :)

[@LayllasLocker]

Ohoho, I figured. :D Croatia/Serbia here. Keep up the good work!

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

+Laylla's Locker oh hello there neighbor! :)

[@alexandracopariu4123]

Tell me that you are from Romania, please!

[@LayllasLocker]

+Alexandra Copariu She already said she was from Slovenia. :]

[@mattholloway8345]

This really is one of my favorite repaint videos of all on KZbin. She's so beautiful and it's so helpful too.

[@calmiquitydreamcaster]

You said (at the end) hope you like her... But I don't like her... I LOVE HER! She is so beautiful and unique. Man, your amazing with these dolls! I really mean it. I'm subbing because your so good and worth my time to see again and again no matter what. Love you and congrats on life! This is spectacular work! ~Before I shut up I'll give you a piece of my heart in honor of you.~ \( ' w ' )/

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Thank you so much :)

[@calmiquitydreamcaster]

Nicolle's Dreams Your welcome. ^^

[@gretchenweibel3609]

+Nicolle's Dreams you are so talented

[@musicgenius19]

This is my favorite face up. I love the face and the custom wig gives her a lovely touch. This is truly inspiring!

[@oyourebeautifulo1760]

hi i want to do a custom doll but i don't want to put vernish on her face can you give me a trick plz and i never do a custom ...

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

+Meowlody Monster sorry, sealants are necessary

[@oyourebeautifulo1760]

+Nicolle's Dreams Ok tank you ans she's really cute!!

[@oyourebeautifulo1760]

+Nicolle's Dreams but can i put a other thing like glue or i dont know

[@Bellniss]

+Nicolle's Dreams I use sealant but my paint is not working well. I am using same pencils at your videos but they are not visible. What should i do?

[@kiyarimomoyami7015]

+Kardou N You need to do more than one layer. If they don't show keep trying they will eventually show. 😁

[@42laughoutloud]

you are a wonderful doll artist. the change in the face is really beautiful and I love the detail and subtle coloring.

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

+LynAnne Smucker thank you!

[@user-rf1th2xr7h]

To be honest, your dolls are better looking than the dolls in the toy store.

[@adihyde5504]

absolutely one of my favorite repaints you have done of monster highs, you should definitely do more of these

[@ambersquirrel1113]

This is so relaxing... Hi, I'm new to your channel, I just want to say, you are amazing. Your videos are so creative and amazing!

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

+Ambur Squirrel thank you and welcome :D

[@elizabethsampson1894]

I've only watched a few videos thus far, but I have to say that you're just kind of awesome. These are fascinating to watch, and you explain everything really well without being repetitive. Including links for other videos related to this one is really helpful and the fact that you are so constant about thanking your supporters and finding ways to include their preferences is really neat. I find you very admirable.

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Thank you so much Elizabeth! :)

[@somehorse]

Random, but you actually have a really relaxing voice and pronunciation. I keep falling asleep!

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

+frankiegetup thank you :)

[@Jilleyful]

You do such beautiful work!! The repainted dolls are true works of art!

[@joannavanengelen9407]

Omg that doll has different colour eyes just like me in real life😄

[@kolorfriend]

Joanna van Engelen luckyyyyy

[@lexyshannon9428]

Joanna van Engelen wow really? that's really cool!

[@kolorfriend]

I'm so jealous :

[@lexyshannon9428]

Aw yiss

[@lame.6402]

Lucky!!

[@zoelangevin4061]

this is one of my favorite repaints i keep coming back and watching it

[@barbedbun4207]

I've always loved your voice it's always so calming and just ahhhhh so cute qDq

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

+KiAra McAllister thank you :)

[@barbedbun4207]

[@barbedbun4207]

Genesis Ivette psst... begging never works mate.. be patient

[@christineingram55]

She’s absolutely beautiful..I love how you did the hair blind on the outside and rainbow underneath ..looks really pretty 😀

[@airatrev6557]

reminds me that I'm terrible at making eyes match with my basic paper drawing while she's working on an uneven surface and still makes them better than I do :l

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

+Aira Trev I've been practicing for many years :) Practice makes perfect

[@airatrev6557]

You're right I'll try my best :)

[@Froggydreams]

Practice. It works.

[@arcanejee]

awesome!!! I am so jealous of your talent. I am just blown away by how beautiful your dolls look afterwards!!!

[@jhjjhg1]

You make this look so easy, but I feel like I'd just ruin a doll. Practice makes perfect I suppose!

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

+jhjjhg1 yes it is all about practice and perseverance.

[@InaArtsHere]

I just wanted to drop a comment saying thank you for all these videos! I've had the worst night in a very long time, even vomited due to the intense anxiety But watching your videos helped me calm down, just watching all the progress, painting and hearing a calm voice really helped! So thank you

[@lamisaasad1239]

can u reply?u r designing the doll with pencil colour doesn't that gets faded? or u r using any other pencil colour type metarial?...

[@sageacris]

She uses sealant, so it wont fade, and she uses watercolour pencils, not just pencil crayons, but that may work as well.

[@lamisaasad1239]

thanx

[@spewsansucks]

Watercolor pencils or water soluble both work (they're the same thing)

[@weswindle5335]

I actually love your voice! It's so smooth and soothing and cute, and you explain everything so well. It's so cool, and I love this channel.

[@freddiespaghetti8411]

I need to find a place to buy dolls like this

[@galaxystar3450]

amazon and put in monster high :)

[@jinxednovadraws174]

Any toy store with a girl section should have it

[@ausdoll]

Always check thrift stores for cheap ones. But any retail store should have them. |-/

[@samster8096]

[@hsheinloo]

She is Gorgeous!!! I love the innocent white look.

[@MichelleWilliamsPewDiePie]

about how long does it take you to repaint a dolls face

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

+Michelle Isnt Awesome Williams (Michelle Williams) usually a couple of days

[@TheLadynamaste]

YA LIKE 3 DAYS

[@shenyahdavis195]

wow. i thought it only took hours. but i get it because mistakes and 30 minutes if the sealant drying

[@shenyahdavis195]

and where do you get your clothes. i want some for my ever after high dolls

[@Iggy778899]

your doll face repaints has inspired me to draw a new form for my characters which make their faces show tons of excitement for the future

[@lulicastiglia1]

those dolls in my country are REALLY expensive. The las time I saw one it was over 100 dollars

[@bluecocoa9772]

lour ! their overpriced in America too and their so ugly, you can tell that they just got lazy with making them look good..

[@-rhixrhi-]

I just bought 29 and other accessories for $120. Try looking for ones on eBay or on Facebook in the buy and sell in your local areas

[@karinhanazonoo]

iiOmqq Chxlseaii monster high sekarang turun kok jadi 150k an.. tapi stoknya dikit

[@Batbimbo]

Your voice only makes these even more satisfying to watch

[@honeybuggle]

She sounds like martzia

[@Natlastic]

no, maybe like Marzia when she faked her voice.

[@miapatches7925]

I was looking for this comment

[@jamesdean236]

+Natlamei she fakes her voice?

[@Natlastic]

Nah, she did years ago, 'cause she wasn't comfortable with herself, so she was talking on a deeper voice

[@englishflier539]

This seems really calming to do, and it was very calming to watch :) I think I might try this as a hobby when I'm older

[@acidceed]

you are so talented! I just binge watched your videos and you have inspired me to try one myself. thank you for sharing these beauties with us

[@mediagirl6725]

You should consider working for a doll-making company. You are an amazing artist.

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

[@mediagirl6725]

[@setton6917]

[@AndreaEssEmm]

Love your videos! You do such amazing work!

[@sessa4320]

It took you only five minutes to remove her hair from inside?! It took me a week...

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

The first few times it took me really long as well.

[@sessa4320]

Nicolle's Dreams Thanks for replying! I hoped I wasn't the only one :)

[@morado011082]

Nicolle's Dreams 😍

[@despacitojones5297]

She's so adorable! I remember seeing your first video; you've come so far, and so much more confident in your skills

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Thank you very much

[@pandapaws8357]

I used a monster high doll and I removed her face using sparkling nail polish then I made her face using pens then I sealed her face using clear nail polish

[@bloomy2121]

The doll herself looks so happy after you customized her If stuff like "doll souls" really exists, I bet they love you a lot

[@juliahildebrand3886]

Do you sell these?

[@CementCakeisboss101]

I read a comment she posted and she said she rarely sells her dolls she likes to collect them

[@Loungemermaid]

Julia Hildebrand she will do a faceup for you though

[@LunetaAzul]

Lovely work. Your drawing skill is fantastic! So much delicacy. It makes me want to give it a try. I had seen a lot of pictures on deviantart of dolls like this, but I had always wondered what was the process like. I'm looking foward to see more of your work.

[@ashleyguzman1958]

Hi Andreja! I dont know if you will answer this comment. But I really love your art girl!!! Keep going with this beautiful creations! I want one of your dolls so bad ❤❤

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Thanks :)

[@FireofGia111]

omgggg your voice is so soothing and adorable. Just. Good feels all around

[@oliviaharper2349]

She should be a doll maker and paint their faces

[@Alayses]

Hi! I wonder, after using the shimmer, you have to seal it again, right,so it won't come off? But every time I do that, it seems like the shimmer is less... shimmery? :/ It's not blown away, I can see it it the right light, but not as prominet anymore?

[@animeow492]

I need help! someone really bad just cut my draculaura fingers, I'm really sad, where can I find other hands for my dool?

[@RivalJohnnie]

You can repair the hands with moldable plastic

[@Luke-uf3jw]

you can find spare hands on ebay for a fair price. Good luck

[@MaddieKove]

the question is: Who would do such a thing?!?

[@animeow492]

Maddie Kove​ my boyfriend sister she is 17 years old and she hate me so much for nothing... she's evil I cry so hard when I saw my doll hands , my boyfriend give that doll to me. I'm pretty sure she was because I don't have any friends here (I live in a new country with my boyfriend) and she was the only person enter to my room that day so.... :( sorry my bad english u.u

[@animeow492]

fox and co​ thank you!

[@cherricandy]

_I keep coming back to this channel when Im low on inspiration-_ _Your channel is amazing!! Totally aesthetic^^_

[@StarryNightxx]

[@jokerzbabe13]

Your voice is like listening to draculaura narrate your faceups i love it so much its so cute and calming and sweet, just like draculaura

[@this_cat_likes_s.u1189]

[@rorywasmyfavoritecompanion9014]

LOL CAT_LOVER_OMAR it doesnt matter your gender, as long as you enjoy doing it ((im a dude and i love dolls as well lol))

[@this_cat_likes_s.u1189]

Anathema _ :D THX :3

[@HalfEmpty]

LOL CAT_LOVER_OMAR dude same.

[@simplyhollieface2896]

Do it!!! As long as you enjoy it. It says nothing about your sexuality. Mad respect for you if you take this up

[@lilypop-jd1si]

this_cat_likes_s.u 11 dude fuckin go for it. I would respect some of the men I know a whole lot more if they did something amazing like this. It takes real skill to do this sorta thing, don’t let people put you down for it

[@leighabraud2755]

omg you are SO talented! Your dolls are beautiful! This one has been my favorite out of them all since I really love cats! :)

[@adaszafran3330]

can you make tutorial: how to draw eyes doll? xd

[@katiewimmer3028]

You are so talented. I wish I had the money for all the things I would need including the dolls. But I will probably get into this hobby when I'm older and could afford it. Till then watching your videos really are inspiring.

[@mintytacostudios3067]

DO A COLLAB WITH DOLLIGHTFUL❤️❤️❤️

[@dumpling3D]

YasmPie she lives in korea, and she’s been living there for quite a while, talking and acting like the where ur from does not mean that ur a “weeb”

[@hkkobayashi7657]

[@janiboop_9158]

So cute! (*^▽^*)

[@miciarokiri5182]

Pretty simple.... I think we have WILDLY different ideas of what simple means. LOL. Lovely job!

[@irgendwelchedinge]

You really need to change the music.. that annoying piano playing in a constant loop kills your videos for me :( please, please, please get something less noticeable or something with a longer loop :(((

[@rotten1462]

i think its adorable

[@aphr0d]

+Darkbloom Visions it gets a bit annoying

[@kayleehutchins1103]

She can do whatever she wants…if you think it's "annoying" then just go away and watch some other channel

[@beesworkshop6594]

Finding royalty free music to suit a video is really tough. I don't mind the music at all, and I've been hearing it for literally years on videos. it's something you learn to tune out after a while. But if you're that bothered by it, just mute the video and play your own music

[@imnana6589]

Maybe a fan should make a special song for her :D since I usually watch her videos in bulk I know how you feel with it starting to get annoying. After 10 videos you start knowing it off by heart lol

[@em0wh0re54]

OMG! That is not simple... Im stunned of that precisenes

[@kristinka5667]

I from Russia

[@anonymous-ll4qm]

your voice is so cute ! its not too high pitched and not too low pitched, its perfect :0 and your so talented !!!

[@Javi.Wasabi]

you are an amazing artist! I love your dolls. congratulations!

[@rasberryiceify]

Wow your designs are gorgeous!

[@Stargaze._.nursery]

You're taking over dollightful's channel!

[@butterflykatana]

Question. How would you recommend to do a custom face using a Disney Star Darlings doll, so I could get the likeness of fuller lips seen on the Bratz dolls.

[@peachyhime6065]

I allways was a fan of Winx Club and I own 2 Flora dolls and 1 Chatta doll. I must have bought them when I was 14 or so, and now I'm 23! Never wanted to throw em out, and now I'll try giving them a cutom face. :3 Your tut is amazing!

[@luciapgmushi1663]

OMG you are amazing!!! the doll is soo pretty!!

[@LydieVion]

How long does it take to retoot one doll? And is it very hard? I would love to start doing it but i don't know almost anything about it! :)

[@MichelleSanjaya]

Hello Andreja! i have a little question, do you paint the doll eyes with arcylic paint?

[@abigailzeman-miner8036]

the painting on the face is amazing

[@bigboomer1013]

do you have to use water color pencils or can you also use normal color pencils like crayola

[@-rhixrhi-]

BigBoomer101 you have to use watercolour pencils. Normal pencils won't stick or create pigment when you colour

[@torifitzmorris938]

My question is, why do you not have 10 million subscribers, I really enjoy your videos!!

[@doctorwyrm3660]

I love it! You're very talented and your voice is very relaxing!

[@nettemo5690]

She is so beautiful. You do fabulous work ♡♡♡

[@JessiNaka]

So on this doll you used acetone-free remover, but acetone itself on another doll. How do you choose which? (I'm not actually planning on getting into this, but it is really interesting to watch and I'm just curious ^^)
