There isn't a potion for this pet color. Here's an explanation of how these pets work, copied and pasted from this post

Quote
Nostalgic: You can transform an existing pet into a Nostalgic pet at Vanya&;s Workshop in the Arctic Frost.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>You will first need to obtain a Nostalgic Instructions kit for the nostalgic pet you want to make (i.e., Nostalgic Kumos Instructions, Nostalgic Manchu Instructions, etc.), and an Essence Of Melody. The kits are sold in the Thimble &amp; Co. shop, and the Essence Of Melody is sold in the Cash Shop. They may also be found in user shops.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>With the Nostalgic Instructions kit in your inventory go to Vanya&;s Workshop, and he will then send you on a quest to bring him three items. The items asked for will include two random items from the Thimble &amp; Co. shop, and either a Plushie Makers Kit, Plastic Molders Kit, or Wood Carvers Kit. These kits can be purchased from the Thimble &amp; Co. shop, the Crystal Shop, and user shops. Be aware that one of the quest items could possibly be another Nostalgic Instruction kit. This is not an error since they also sell in the Thimble &amp; Co. shop.
NOTE: If you start a Vanya&;s Quest and decide for whatever reason to quit the quest, you will NOT get your Nostalgic Instructions back. This is not a glitch so do not submit a ticket to ask for it back if you quit the quest.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Once you have the items Vanya asked for, go back to Vanya&;s Quests and in exchange for these items he will give you a nostalgic toy that corresponds with the Nostalgic Instruction kit you initially gave him (i.e., Nostalgic Kumos Toy, Nostalgic Manchu Toy, etc.)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>With the nostalgic toy he gave you and an Essence Of Melody in your inventory, return to Vanya again and he will change your pet to Nostalgic. NOTE: The workshop is set by default to change your ACTIVE pet, so make sure that you have the pet you are wanting changed selected as your active pet!</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Alternatively, you can bypass the quest by purchasing the nostalgic toy that corresponds with the nostalgic pet you want. Then with the toy and the Essence Of Melody in your inventory go to Vanya&;s Workshop and he will transform your active pet into a nostalgic pet.
The Essence of Melody is an achievement prize for visiting Melody each day for the first 25 days of December, and has been available for the past few years. It can also be bought in user shops (right now for about 7 mil).

The prices of the toys and instructions and all of that can be pretty varied, so it depends on which pet you want.

about how much does it typically cost to complete the quest?

It really depends on what kind of pet you want. The Plastic Molders Kit and Wood Carvers Kit can both be found in user shops for less than 100,000 each. But the Plushie Makers Kit is in shops for over 3 million right now. Plus whatever other random items he asks for.

there is no time limit on how long you need to get the sP to buy whatever Vanya asks for, and his "items asked for" is quite varied so nobody knows the true answer to your question. If he happens to ask for expensive items and you are using an expensive Instructions then you will probably want to save for a bit. You do not need to worry about the time taken to do this. I think you can quit and try again though so if your Instructions were cheap enough to buy another copy, this might be a way to go.

sometimes it's actually cheaper/easier to simply buy the toy from another user and bring it to vanya along with the essence of melody. so for instance if i wanted a nostalgic devonti, i would bring vanya the following two items:

doing so will then make your active pet a nostalgic devonti, for instance.
