Nail Tech here! That "sticky layer" the UV resin has, is called the "inhibition layer", the inhibition layer, is caused by oxygen in the air blocking the curing process near the surface of the resin. This prevents the outermost layer from fully hardening. LOVE your content! I literally fall asleep to the sound of you working on these beautiful creations!

[@chantehayward6225]

Wow. She's... I don't have the words. I'm actually speechless. She makes me think that she might be a character from the Avatar movie. Like a luminous water entity. If I saw her in real life I'd probably stare at her with a dreamer like wonder. I just realised I'd probably get drawn in and eaten by an anglerfish.... 😣

Please never stop creating!! I adore this piece, and she's a new favorite. The simplistic body next the complex jellyfish parts are so cool, and she radiates ethereal energy. The fact she glows in the dark just makes her that much more stunning. She's gorgeous, and keep bragging. It's nice to hear you excited about new techniques!!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you so much! I will be making doll figurines for as long as possible! ^_^ I still have so many ideas and when I'll run out of those - my viewers have many suggestions too :D The dolls number in my stock box is not limitless... but I will try to work that out somehow :)

[@missycruelwolfart4615]

Here's a little fun fact! The top of her head appears to be based on a moon jelly. The four markings you see on the very top are actually the jellyfish's stomach! Either this jellyfish girl evolved to have some super cool mimicry or her stomach is actually on her head!

[@anormalhumanbeing6100]

Not to "well actually" you, but those are the jelly's gonads. They are what produce the sex cells of an organism. She essentially has four ovaries on her head, which is also equally bizarre.

Jellyfish are some one the most deadly sea creatures with toxins that will kill without you even knowing you've been stung! There's danger behind such beauty; this is perfect for the Halloween season!

Thank you :) And we will see :D One day I will have to try, I guess XD

[@InhumanRampage1000]

Stunning. The way the jellyfish part came out, it looks perfect. When I saw her glowing in the dark, my first thought about it was like, on one hand, she might be missing some little glowing details on herself, but on the other hand, it kind of makes sense for her to be totally camouflaged as a real jellyfish in the dark (for some reason? kek) in any case, she's super gorgeous, thank you for sharing!

[@dee1647]

[@sharpasasyringe]

It would be weird if companies designed new products with "customizer" in mind. "Let's make this new girl amazing so someone can rip her face off and make her completely different" xD Your work is amazing tho! I really love how this one turned out! 💜

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Yeah… you’re 100% right ^_^ kids toys. I totally get it and that’s why I said that I am not angry at the company… But I am just a human being and can’t fight the feeling of disappointment :P And since it is doll-related topic, and a popular one in fact - that is just my personal opinion, that’s it :) Not even about bases for customization. The originals were just more interesting as toys, they were something new and fresh :) Now every doll line looks similar in style.

[@blackparade5912]

@@CatmeleonStudioYES EXACTLY i’m not a customizer, so i can’t speak to the types of struggles you as a customizer will have with gen 3 MH dolls but i LOVED how unique and different every doll was in the original lines. every one of them had different face shapes and eye placements and nose and lip sizes and now (even though there is a little more diversity with body shape 🎉) all their faces and overall designs look the same :/ it’s so unfortunate and it just feels cheap and of lesser quality ://

[@Dandelionsinthewind]

I still have alot of my first gen dolls (although somewhat heat damaged +age) and I wish they kept the original design while making it inclusive body wise😢 I'm so sad I won't ever get to fawn over the dolls like I did as a kid they just don't have that flair I loved so much

My favourite doll customiser used to be Dollightful. Though Dollightful still makes absolutely awesome and gorgeous stuff, I think I prefer the creativity you bring. You bring something new to the table. Even if Dollightful is also very creative and inspiring, your fairies definitely had me so very inspired !! I love that you used curvier bodies for some of them, like the two different species of bees you made. You also used very clever techniques and your posing being "permanent" really makes me less anxious whenever I finally get off my butt to start customizing my own dolls. (Dont worry, I'm 24 !!) This is because then I don't have to worry so much about all the joints, and lets me accept the fact that some dolls don't have to be functional to pose and re-pose. Speaking of posing, you choose such unique and absolutely gorgeous poses for your work... It makes it all the more pretty to look at than just the "A-pose" that a lot of dolls have. I will now be on the lookout for new content from you :)
