Are you a collector?

The best/prettiest looking ones I have are saved in those collection folders with insertion covers. The ones I have left over (usually doubles) are saved in small, empty boxes for now.
 
I bought 2 more OPI nail polishes lol! As always, said bottles come from the shelves at TJ Maxx since my polish addiction would be unsustainable if I bought them at retail price lmfao.

Crawfishin' for a Compliment: a nice bright peach without going full neon, def a summer vibe

And this one is from the 2020 Milan Collection, "This Color Hits all the High Notes".

I was actually nervous about it being crazy sheer but even with 1 coat I put on at the store I loved it and took it home. A lovely blue-tinted pearlescent that makes an excellent addition to my collection, especially since I can pair it with a lot of my dark blues for a Mermaid/Seapunk themed mani. It goes on pretty solid in 2 coats but perfect on top of a solid base color, I'm gonna have fun experimenting.

I'm also got a new Tokidoki figurine to add to my mini hoard! A Delicious Unicorno, bought it off Mercari for the exact retail price but it also helps that Alohacorno is a 'common'. I just love the Tropical aesthetics it gives off (but I also love snowcones)

Too cute to resist really! It is only 3 inches tall though so the Unicorn herself is smaller than a regular series figure. But I like her a lot and she'll be my favorite among my collection
 
So yesterday I went back to the store which sells stamps, coins and banknotes for collectors and managed to gain some new banknotes (paper money) for my own collection, including THIS infamous gem:

I've been expanding my Bratz doll collection very sparingly with the new recent releases and I decided to share them here too.

These are reproductions of the original 2004 Girls Nite Out... with one less outfit. They originally had 3, a hologram photocard of the girl you bought, and a poster iirc. These came with body glitter and rooted eyelashes which are still true for the repros but some dolls' skintones differ between the head and the body. You can also scratch off the body glitter fairly easily so I'm 90% sure the factory sprayed on a varnish topcoat with the glitter onto these bodies. If an enthusiast spots my post, do be careful boil washing your doll and try not to scrub her body too hard!

They're very pretty though. I kinda feel bad I unboxed Dana on the right but they're very pretty to style out of the box. Cloe looks pretty meh but her hair is crimped and textured so it's much better unboxed.

I'll try to snap a better picture of this one. They made a Sanrio doll collab last August and I finally nabbed this one on a discount! If you know me you know I'm a Hello Kitty maniac. I also bought this doll because of her anime eye print, it's a recreation of the Tokyo a Go-Go screening from 2004 which is one of the most fun collections they made tbh, I dreamed about owning them for years and obtained Fianna back in 2023. (Fianna is kinda inconsistent but I always thought of her and Yasmin as cousins due to a similar skintone when I was little)

The new Bratz use a differently shaped head so their profile looks a little wider/strange than the originals. It's not consistent which makes it hard to know how good they look if you can't see them in person.

Last but not least is Bratz Stylin Jade who came out in Fall 2025! I bought her after months of agonizing about it because she looks kinda like Bayonetta.

You see it more with the glasses and boots. My friends and I call her Slayonetta, but I do plan on restyling her with other clothes I have from prior collections to make her look more like the character + I'm gonna thin out the blunt edges on her plat streaks after a good boil-wash to set her hair nicely like the picture. They mightve gelled it down though.
