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.
She’s not rare. She’s just very sought after. This is why dolls that aren’t even rare are overpriced. Stop throwing that word around.

you basically dip it in boiling water so the new holes will tighten OR since a bratz head is made of hard vinyl, it helps in the rerooting. i rerooted a bratz doll before and it's what i did.

Felicia is not rare. A lot of white doll collectors that paid her dirt when she came out suddenly started caring about her when realizing she is the darkest Bratz doll that MGA ever made, leaving prices for her to skyrocket and making her extremely hard for black collectors to find.

get some new brushes or thoroughly clean and reshape yours...when they're clean, you can soften the brush hairs with water (hot water may be necessary for synthetic brushes, natural hair isn't supposed to get more than warm). after softening, the ideal substance to set brush hairs into shape while drying (which is also what they use at brush factories) is a very thin solution of gummi arabicum in water, because that can easily be washed out before use with either water or alcohol. the shape the hair dries in is going to dictate the shape the brush has in use. you're also supposed to shape brush hairs every time you put them away after using and cleaning them. synthetic hairs tend to not be as fully restorable as natural ones though, since natural hairs get much softer when they absorb water, whereas synthetic ones don't absorb water and only get somewhat soft when they get hot. with synthetic hairs, it may be useful to force them into shape by wrapping them with something after the hot water softening.
I can tell that half of this comment section has not seen doll customization or doll repaint videos.

she’s not rare. she’s just SO overpriced because of people who call her “rare” and people sell her for hundreds because they think she’s so rare but she’s not, she’s just very sought after. go on any 2nd hand marketing site and you’ll find her. please stop using the word rare for dolls that aren’t even rare and overpricing dolls for no reason, it makes it hard for collectors and young kids that want these so called “rare” dolls.

I’m honestly scared to reroot any bratz because their heads are so. damn. hard. Monster high dolls are pretty easy because the plastic is squishier and softer but bratz heads are like rocks.

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. By the way, great video! 👍
First second: Yeeeeah that's what I did at 7 years
Nice post
Thanks so much for video. I was having dificulty finding a doll's video for darker tones. Do You have one that You do need to repaint face? I found a barbie/bjd with a very dark skin tone but didnt like make-up they put on her. Doing a Warrior Queen-something that shows strength & intellignece-Empowment Thanks again /Rosemary
