Amazing Nails Make For Amazing Dolls

     In 2000, Mattel introduced two new friends for Barbie, Lea and Kayla. Usually, they didn't appear in a line together. Lea might be in one line while Kayla would be in another. As far as I'm aware, they only showed up in one line together and that was the Amazing Nails line in 2001 and what a beautiful line this was!
     The set only consisted of four dolls. No extra clothing. No playsets. Just four dolls, but what gorgeous dolls they were! They were so simple, but they were stunning. Joining Barbie, Lea and Kayla was Christie. They each had the belly button body with the ballerina arms. 
      Each doll came with the same outfit and accessories, but in different colors. Surprisingly, Barbie did not wear pink. Kayla wore that color and it looked good on her. They each wore a long dress with cutouts on the sides, most likely to emphasize the belly button waist, a plastic vest, which the fake nails could be placed in, and shoes, which were a new mold. They also came with stampers to put decorations on the nails. That's it. That's all they came with, yet they were so beautiful, it didn't matter. 
Amazing Beautiful Dolls!
     As you can see Barbie is in blue, Christie is in yellow and orange, Lea is in purple and pink and Kayla is in pink and orange. The makeup on these dolls is very simple, which only adds to their beauty.

     These dolls were definitely made for play and they redress beautifully. For me, these are definitely some of my favorite dolls!
