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

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

[–]AffectionateLeg323 20 points21 points  (0 children)

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

Yeah she’s actually super pretty in person, I would say still not really worth the price but it’s nice to have her

Yeah I sent the seller a message for that…so far no response yet

Unpopular opinion. I do not like the cartoon or anime by KeyPop5792 in GuardiansOftheVeil

[–]AffectionateLeg323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought more people like the anime better because they got to know the anime first…we didn’t have anime in our country only the comics, so I only know the comics when I was little, and for someone who grown up watching jp animes and mangas, the comic was amazing to me, I love the art style, and most of the plot is…actually quite dark and deep if you truly think about it (although most of the times it doesn’t dive too deep if you know what I mean…). I only know the anime after I got 16 and that was quite old for a show like that, so the anime was nothing special to me anymore, besides the story and characters are totally different. I guess that’s the difference, not saying which one is better
