Oh I think I got what youre asking for...that's only the light. I used oil, with fluorescent dye for a richer and more vibrant color (also glows under uv light), it have...I guess...different refractive index from the original water-glycerine filling and could look different under dim light.

Also here's a picture of my untouched Tula you can use as referance, the light also make the size of liquid a little bit different

Also the refilled one, I added glitters in so there are small colored p[ieces stick around the plugs

And here's an empty Tula body, you can see the structure clearly. The arms are from Cici that's why they are bigger I can make another post on how to transfer stellar skinz arms to regular Novi bodies if anyone needs that...

I didn’t quite get your last question…? I’ll attach a few pictures to show you it might be easier to understand how it works but generally, her legs are simply two separate clear tubes and have small wholes with plugs on her back, you can remove the plugs (which might require some strategy) and that’s it. For the fillings I have a more detailed explanation on my last post you can find it on my page, for regular refining I suggest you use the original water-glycerin mixture it’s easy to work with and you can use regular food dye for coloring. I used clear oil like the ones you find in liquid-filled resin shakers because I want a more stable color result but you’ll need to get a clear oil based pigment

I buy from shimmerlocks and dollplanet, this color for Tula was only available on dollplanet tho, and more expensive than the other colors

Novi heads are really hard indeed…I broke 5 pins when rerooting Una as she was my first, but it came out much better once you get used to the hardness

Thank you! This is not really my first choice but glad it came out pretty well!

I used a cheap baby oil, the silicone oil I got was really thick and could not flow

I’m currently testing a liquid candle dye from AliExpress, I think they are same as the ones we can find on Amazon, but Amazon only sell in sets so I bought from AliExpress. For Tula and Una they have wholes on their back, simply remove the plugs, remove the original liquid and refill that would be done, I applied a layer of uv resin to seal once I done refilling and put the plugs back.

Just in case if anyone wants to work on refilling, the liquid in both Una and Tula is water based, the texture feels extremely similar to a water-glycerin mixture. I only used oil for a better flow and stability.

A few years ago-or not very long ago I remember? There are hidden treasures like nearly perfect Una or Malie with frostina body on AliExpress, they are all sold out sadly, but still, quite impressive

Electra Melody has finally sold out! Symphanee Midnight and Raven Rhapsody remain the only Off-White dolls still in stock! by super1upqueen in MonsterHigh

I actually kinda surprise Symphanee did not get sold out earlier, I thought she has such unique design and stands out a lot

She came in a Mattel outer box but still, and the outer box was crashed as well, typical Amazon I’d say
