You make the most lovely, relaxing, beautifully edited video on creative things. They are a joy to watch.

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

You are so kind, thanks so much for the generous words

[@dadu3982]

I'm so happy you're back, I used to watch your get ready with me videos all the time. I really enjoy your watercolor making process, It's very relaxing.

[@nenybunsYT]

The color assertment in your Summer Vibes collection is absolutely DIVINE! They go so well together. It's INCREDIBLE to see how much labor and love goes into your paints, one really has to love making these paints, I'd personally propably annoyed after 2 minutes, haha. Your channel really is an inspiration , absolutely love your water colors!!

[@Miliquinne]

This is so satisfying and calming. It's incredible the amount of work that goes into your products. In particular, I hadn't thought about the time it would take to put together the dot cards! Amazing work

[@lunamiku4166]

The Raw Gum Arabic totally looks like a Hard Candy that I would totally eat!!!

[@czbaterka]

🆕 Videos yay! I'm glad you are back with you content! Have great day!

[@gangly_gremlin5003]

I'm in the middle of making a bowl so I'll come back to this later but I really love what little of the video I've seen 💗🕊

[@michaelcoleman5030]

Yes sister smoke dat bowl

[@gangly_gremlin5003]

@@michaelcoleman5030 It's not pottery mate but thanks 👌🤣

[@jocelynecupcake]

About the different colors having different formulas and stuff, SO TRUE! I swear. the blue and green colors take forever to dry but the red dries very quick. At least with my watercolor paints anyway

[@hyperoxidase209]

Your paints are so smooth! Now I see why!

[@florem7125]

I’m living for these. I watch them before sleep and it helps me relax! Also v v satisfying to watch

[@elliusagi]

So satisfying and relaxing process to watch and follow. You have beautiful hands.

[@gizzbeadolls3333]

Your water color videos make me sleepy. In a good way

[@brrrnaner]

That's a beautiful color story!

[@0javi0]

Such beautiful colours! 😩💜

[@lovelyanathema2458]

This is honestly so relaxing, satisfying and cute!!

[@christineingram55]

[@kitzein]

I welcome you back aah! These are so aesthetic and soothing to watch

[@chibigamimiri]

One day I'm going to be able to buy your watercolors before they sold out, they are sooo beautiful!!

[@nieshasbjds2914]

OMG ILOVE THE COLORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ashidotayo6478]

Great video. I love watching your clip's of you making watercolors on your ig story so It's nice to get longer video. 😁❤

[@clarissavonstrauss]

I love this so much, and I don't even paint.

[@jenjenart]

[@CuriosityRocks]

[@anorocamilac]

[@orcas12]

This was so relaxing and calming!

[@HimedereQueen]

I love the new videos. A couple weeks ago I was just thinking about how I missed that you hadn't posted on a long time. I'm so glad I get to see more of the paint mixing here though. The snippets on insta are never enough

[@pinklion8882]

I know this is gonna sound weird but i really miss your voice! You have one of the sweetest voices I’ve heard, and its so relaxing to hear you speaking while watching the process of the videos you make 🥰

[@noragonzalez6190]

Que lindo vídeo, Saludos desde México 🇲🇽!!!!!!!

[@grimnirnacht]

This is clearly a labor of love 🖤 Can you use a dehydrator or even some kind of box with a dehumidifier in it to speed up the drying process? It seems like 4-6 weeks is a long time to wait

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Yes, this includes me using those already for 12 hours a day >__

[@noodlekatz4449]

Yay!! Welcome welcome back!!

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Thank you!! :)

[@hurricain1421]

Just looking at these I have that urge to eat them LOL That moment when something looks so good that you feel like it should be consumed. Your work is so impressive!

[@abbys5133]

I've missed your videos! You inspire me to be more creative 💕☺

[@AiHoshinoIsLife]

This almost cured my 11 year old sleep deprivation 👁👄👁👌

[@metaldeciertopelo]

I love your videos, thanks for show your skills. And I need listening your voice.

[@diondraegnaskasa1424]

This is really calming and its interesting to see watercolors being made! also missed u andreja!!! Glad to see u back 😊 ❤️

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Thank you so much 😀

[@maya_chan]

This gives me so much peace

[@aaa.8884]

beautiful💖

[@TokiMurakava]

I just realized that i know sm1 like you, but she left server and we don't chat like we used to. Your style, animation and attention to details gave some warmth to me, oh and I missed my obsession with your vids)

[@plantstepmom]

Such cute colors and i miss your voice 💕🥺

[@MissisSheDevil]

Just a thought but wouldn’t a food dehydrator help speed up the time between layers to fill the pans? Not sure if it would crack the paint/ reduce the paint quality or something but might be an idea to try ^_^ (in assuming big companies use something to speed up the process too and this is the most logical way I can think of 😘 )

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Yes, I am already using one ☺️It helps but it still takes a long time

[@lamzuoo]

Cool I love it❤️🌹😘

[@OathOFtheShadows2015]

Relaxing and Beautiful

[@roysanchez1260]

❤️❤️❤️

[@apothecraftary9620]

Ooh seeing the binder making is cool! Do you add honey or glycerin to yours, like I've read some watercolors use? And I still have an older dot card I got from you a while ago, but I'm scared to use it xD I'm afraid to run out in the middle of a project! But they're a fun way to see paint colors and learn before buying the pans!

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Thanks so much I am so glad you liked it! :) My paints are all vegan so I can't use honey. As a replacement I use plant based glycerine, it works like a charm :)

[@craftywabbit9547]

Ooooh what a pleasant surprise.... :) \m/

Hello there sweet friend, nice vid and happy Valentine's day to you. Xoxo ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘💖 princess

[@xx9323]

When restock?

[@jenartmom2161]

Where do you get your pigments from? I cant seem to find any without mica

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

From my local art stores, but I guess it all depends on where you live. I'd go to check at the stores around your area, otherwise you can always buy online just google "buy paint pigment".

[@jenartmom2161]

@@NicollesDreamsShop thank you so much for the information I'll see what comes up

[@lootownica]

Why big companies aren't making dot cards like yours? I could test how those colors behive and mix with each other, without guessing and loosing money for paint that doesn't work for me. It doesn't even have to be free sample, i think 2-10$ (depending on amount of samples and brand) for complete chart of certain series would be a fair price.

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Luckily there are a few companies offer dot sheets like Daniel Smith and Schmincke. I found both on Amazon and at my local art store :)

[@KowaiiSo]

What are dot cards used for

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Dot cards are samples. instead of you spending $50 on a 4 colour pan set, you spend a couple of $ and get a dot of each colour to test it out first.
