The born of Valentine!

It was 14th of Feb when I start to repaint the AG Attenttion! 16' fashion doll where I bought recently, thus I decided to name it as Valentine! She is again a 2nd hand doll I bought form The Doll Page in a very good price. I was always overwhelmed by the high fashion feature of AG doll but unfortunately I am not a fans of their factory make up, that is why I decided to have it all repaint with full body blushing to create my 1st OOAK AG doll. It took me around 1 week to finish up all her face up, body blushing as well as sewing a new wig for her. Valentine’s make up is inspired by Keira Knightley's ads for Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle scent back in 2009. It had a chocolate brown shade of eye shadow with purplish pink lips and pinkish blush. I was just amaze looking at Keira Knightley’s face and I think Valentine have a similar bone structure. A few days of afford in repainting, the result came out just as I imagine, Valentine transform from a toy look fashion doll into a realism gorgeous looking high fashion doll now. Next, Is time for making a wig for her now! I just bought a piece of natural mohair from China and it was used to sew her wig. One of the advantage of using mohair as the material but not the fiber hair is that mohair wig resemble human hair where I can style the hair in any way I love as every part of it is cover by mohair, but the bad side of it is mohair tend to be too fluffy, so it is a need to style it with some hair product to give a neat and heavy look. The wig is sew in the way resemble the natural hairline of human and it was attached to the head of Valentine with double sided tape inside. It allows me to style his hair without worrying the wig detaching from her head and it make things easier! Initially, the wig is in honey lemon or blonde, but the hair colour didn’t suit Valentine at all, so I decided to dye her hair with fabric dye into reddish brown which match her eyebrow perfectly and she turn into a exotic red hair bombshell immediately! The hair colour does influence her overall look! Finally it is time to have her body blushed to give her the natural body colour as in human.I had sprayed her whole body with Mr Super Clear Flat spray before doing all the blushing including the manicure painting and finished up with another layer of flat spray to protect the blushing. Well, Valentine is all done now and ready to have her 1st beauty photoshoot as a usual tradition in NiGel.ChiA Production!

NiGel.CHiA Couture in human size again!


Is been quiet a long while since I design in human size, and I really miss it! Two months ago, I have the chance to design an evening gown for a sister of my friend in conjunction with his wedding dinner and I was totally excited. After some discussion with the bride and groom, we have come out with a deep v empire line chiffon gown with combination of pink and blue colours. For me, this is my 1st try for such a strong contrast combination of colours and thank god it turned out as nice as I imagined. So, here is some of the quick view of my design, hope you enjoy it! I just love to see lady in gowns, haha… …

Jason Wu Avant Guards Freeze Box Opening


Is been quite a while since I bought my 1st AG doll second hand in the doll page market and only now I have the free time to post the box opening of her. It is my 1st 16' fashion doll and as usual, the box opening was full of excitements. I was totally overwhelmed by the luxurious packaging of the doll; the doll is very well in perfect condition even though it is second hand. It also come with extra jointed hands and feet. I was in love with the AG high fashion face with those high cheek bone, fierce eyes and thick lips. The posablility of AG doll is not bad as well, their joints is quite similar to those single jointed BJD. The only thing about AG is that the upper body is too long in my opinion, so the proportion of the body and leg is not really perfect. She have been lying in her box for a while as I have not much time to create dress for her, but I am working on her wig now and hopefully I am able to repaint her makeup and design her a high fashion dress as soon as possible. Stay tune with NiGel.ChiA! haha.......
