I got this Nikki head from Dolls Ahoy and I wanted to try my hand at repainting. Not sure how well I did but it was at least a nice first experience. Then I decided I wanted to reroot her hair with kanekalon and braided over 100 braids in her hair and melted the ends together with a lighter. I also rebodied her to a Liv body. She got the WHOLE SHEBANG treatment!

Meet Solanah!

I adore her hair! Just beautiful. So much work but so worth it and a good poseable body too. The faceup is well done too.

I love her hair. My face up skills need work but it was nice to practice.

Ok, her hair O___O It's just great. Love it.
The faceup is actually really good, especially for a first attempt. You've got talent for sure :)

I wanna do this again, you know, when I've regained feeling in my knuckles. *snort*

I think she is great. And once you start customizing and repainting it gets addictive!
