NiGel.ChiA a fashion design victim: 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!
