I dont know if this is rude to ask, or has been asked before, but does anyone know what kind of paint Raven uses? XD its just so... beautiful! My tail literally GLOWS when I'm in the ocean, its so luminescent! I'd love to use similar paints when I make my own tail eventually.

Raina your tail looks incredible!!! XD I cant wait to see swimming footage of it! It will be so flowy and wonderful! <3

Omigosh, the FINS! Raina, the FINS! They're SO gorgeous, ugh, I love the fringe to them. That's SO gorgeous. Sean is also so shy and sweet, haha! Gahhh, your tail looks amazing. Have you tried it on again yet?

Also, I want to thank Raina, and really all of you guys, for the encouragement. It makes me feel a lot better about it because I just got myself so upset earlier, gahhh. I feel a lot better now. Thank you so much. <3

All I know, Mizuko is that Raven mixes her own paints. I'd ask her though to see what she can share with you, as far as I know she hasn't let out specifics.

Oh wow! Raina, you'll look awesome! Fringe isn't my personal favourite, I prefer stiffer fins, but it looks gorgeous on your tail! It totally is a mohawk for your tail. Hahaha rocker-mer!

[Jadestone]

It's beautiful! Oh wow. Love the bright new coat of paint!

Also, in my head I know you'e Canadian, but every time I see a vid and hear your accent it always catches me by surprise! It's so cute lol.

[AniaR]

haha I know I have such an accent >.> haha. Not nearly as bad as some, but still lol

[Jadestone]

Aww well I think it's adorable. Reminds me of my old hockey coach

[Mermaid Kalliope]

@Jade - ugh so jelly about that pool

@raina - you have an accent?!

I've been wondering this too, she has so many colors available, and the purple on my tail actually looks like a purple chrome color. I should ask around at hobby lobby.

at the request of some of my fans I made an updated unboxing video hahaha

Oooh! Raina! Thanks for the vid! I had so much fun watching your first one! You were like a little kid in a candy shoppe! The work Raven did was really outstanding! She is a consummate artiste! The refreshed colors are sooo vibrant, its going to be really lovely in the water!

Enjoy!

Argh!!! Emma I'm so sorry to hear about the bracers...and you were so excited too Well, hopefully you and Raven can work it out and get it fixed up!!

And Raina, your tail looks quite nice and spiffy with the new paint and all the fins, although like you said it didn't seem to shabby when you sent it in...pretty good for all that usage! I'm just in the midst of reading your book, and it's quite a pleasure so far

aawwwwwww Raina your tail looks amazing!

[MerEmma]

I was really hoping to wake up to a nice email from Raven...except I forgot that it's only eight AM xD

[Mermaid_Aurora]

Arg, darn. So does that mean I should keep resending my email? I know she's a busy lady so I don't want to pester her, but at the same time I have no idea if she has received a single one of them, and I REALLY want to finish the order we started. I need the headdress for a photo shoot I'll be scheduling as soon as I get it, I JUST got the seashell top my boyfriend ordered for me from her etsy <3

[MerEmma]

I'd say to send it again. Sometimes she seems to get emails IMMEDIATELY but other times I've re-sent an email four times and she still hadn't seen it.

[Mermaid_Aurora]

All right. Do you know what a good time to send her emails would be? She's on the opposite side of the country from me (I'm Pacific timezone) so it's really hard to time my emails so that there's a good chance she'll actually see it. I think that might be one of my main problems, I might be resending my emails after she's already done looking at them, or too early in the morning.

[Ariel-Starfish]

Exacly!! I always do a *happy dance* and get a mini heart attack at the same time when I recieve mail from her xD

[MerEmma]

I don't know...it seems kinda like I've had luck getting replies about 3:00 in the afternoon (my time, eastern)?

[Mermaid_Aurora]

Ah, so generally about afternoon/early evening. No wonder, I think I've been sending my emails a lot earlier/later than that xD I'll have to try again.

[WavyMermaidy]

You know, when I was initially trying to email her and getting no response (which I wasn't really surprised as it was my first email) I messaged her via Facebook messenger on the Merbellas FB page and let her know that I had sent an email, what it said, etc...she responded to that and she she'd star my email, and the next time I sent an email she got right back to me. So I think, and I've seen other post this as well, it doesn't hurt to reach out through FB messenger if you feel like your emails are getting lost.
