    Please don't use nail polish. Use just about anything besides nail polish. It is made to chip off. Use a normal liquid sealant and mix the eye shadow in. That nailpolish will also get yellow and may turn sticky. Please don't

    She’s not rare, in fact she’s a very polarizing doll in the doll community. You could get a campfire Jade or Chloe for pennies but a campfire or sleepover Felicia can run you hundreds of dollars. I’ve even seen a Bratz baby Felicia on sale for over a stack. She’s just one of the few highly scalped dolls on the internet and I don’t like it. They remedyd this by releasing a holiday Felicia last year and hopefully with the new reproductions we get more Felicia.

      Preach!!! I dislike the term "rare" used when collecting dolls. There was thousands of her which were produced and sold in stores. The same amount were made as the rest of the dolls in the line. I have over 700 dolls and my rarest one in my collection is a comic con Gwen Stefani doll, only 100 of her were made to sell. That makes here extremely rare.

    To anyone scrolling thru the comments and wanna restore your doll, DO NOT use nail polish to fix the lip chip. It can easily go wrong and it gets so textured. Better to use anything else that is more precise like actual make up pencils or paints.
