Hi Katrina, I somehow missed your response video regarding your reborn doll, I didn’t realize just how upset you were with your baby and want to try and make good with you the best I can. I feel really upset that this was your first reborn baby, and you thought she was such a disappointment and can't bond with her. I was a new mum to my daughter Miah and dealing with post natal depression at the time, which is clearly seen in my work, I am so so sorry. I feel looking back that I could have done a lot better with your baby. I’m not trying to make excuses but would you please consider me making you a Twin A or B by Bonnie Brown to show you my true workman ship and as a apology, you don’t have to send your reborn back to me or pay for the new baby to be shipped. Please let me know your thoughts and accept my humble apology. Yours sincerely, Nikki Holland
I saw this video a week or so ago and I just want to thank you for sharing your experience. I'm also so sorry this happened to you. I had placed an order for a doll from Still Moments Nursery, but luckily I hadn't paid anything on it yet and now I'm for sure not going to!
I'm sorry you feel this way, please know that we have since corresponded and the issues were resolved ,I have offered to make a brand new reborn, that hopefully she can bond with. I'm just waiting on a reply. I did refund her for the missing items as it was my fault for missing them and I am truly sorry. My customers are important to me and if they have any issues I do my best to address them.
I finally got my reborn I bought after three years of waiting and it was a scam. She sent a picture of the doll I would be receiving and was very happy with that but the doll I received was different you have to pay $325 bucks for a rooted doll that cost more than the doll ,the doll that arrived was darn near bald.😢. I asked her to please fix this and will return the head she said yes for a$150 more bucks 😠 plus the reborn was very white so I added some color to her face and lips.dont buy from still moments nursery way to much money for a bad doll! my experience. I have totaly reconstructed my doll painted her, stuffed her put the right size eyes in and added some hair what a big booboo i made when purchasing from a crappy artists that charges an arm and a leg. Sorry you didnt get what you paid for horrible. Glad i now reborn my dolls and was able to fix mine.
I’m currently canceling my order, because 5 years is a ridiculous amount of time and I read a comment saying she barely paints the dolls and I agree. Btw to cancel an order you must pay 20% 🤨
I am going to say, that this is not even the baby you ordered. I think because it has been so long and your baby still wasn't done, ( because I have heard, that Nikki tends to over-extend herself and take on too many orders,) she has just given you a baby doll. This doll hasn't even been reborned correctly. I am a 10 year veteran of reborn collecting and there is absolutely no way on this earth, that this baby is worth anywhere near $900 AUD. You must demand your money back, which I am sure she will want to do, as she surely wouldn't want you to show this baby as her work.
Reborn Mummy nope she doesn’t! I hope you got your money back I’ve been watching her channel for a couple of years now and her dolls have always looked amazing! But after watching this my opinion on her has changed!
I have ordered 10 babies from Nikki, I just received my first two babies last week and recieved the photos on my third order. I've waited a year for my girls so far. I was reading the comments on this video and I do have to agree with one of the members who has left a comment about the air dry paints. I do have to say that Air Dry paints are alot different then heat set paints... You can get way more in depth and way more levels of mottling and just way more details in general with the heat set paints. Keeping that in mind her skin is going to look alot different from your other babies if they are heat set paints. I'm not defending her... Just wanted to put that out there. I do agree with you about the milk pimples... The rooting job... And the clothes that you didn't get. I'm trying to wrap my head around it... Doesn't make much sense to me as I own her work and I've been wathing her videos for 2 years now.... It doesn't seem like her typical work. I definitely don't see a baby that's worth $900 bucks. I'm so sorry that your so disappointed! 😞
so far I've been waiting Almost 2 years for my custom order, the pics were done a year ago but somehow doll still hasn't even been shipped yet, I'm trying to be positive or and charitable but I am struggling to see why its taking so long to put doll in the post and the more time that passes the more I'm convinced I've paid a lot of money for something I may never get I've tried reaching out to Nikki gently but kinda feel like I'm being fobbed off with excuses, my order has been on its way to be shipped for the best part of a year....any advice or have I just lost a load of money? xx
I am glad you notice the lack of quality, when you did the box opening I was stunning when I saw it, 5 years for that are you kidding me. I feel so sorry for you is completely unacceptable the lack of Quality for that amount of money You definitely should do something about it and claim a refund I am see better dolls for less amount of money. She look like a doll you by at the toy store honestly. Take care darling and I hope you get refund is completely unfair. Hugs 🤗
Hello thank you. Yes the quality is very poor with this doll. Also the items that she came with looked very poor and not what i was hoping for. Will not use her again
On Feb 11 2014 I ordered a reborn toddler from SMN. I got him on April 16 2016. I waited more than 2 years for my doll. The doll itself is fine but the stuff he came with looked like some random things that Nikki just threw in the box. I do know I will never order from her again though.
I would be furious, this looks like a regular doll from Walmart, very poor quality, what a disaster. I really hope you get a refund. I thought SMN was a reputable company, thank you for posting, won’t be buying there.
You're right, I agree this doll is not up to my regular standard so I have offered a replacement baby, just awaiting a reply. We have corresponded earlier via email and the issues were resolved . I did refund what I forgot, but I shouldn't have forgotten in the first place, and I'm really sorry. I truly hope to make a her a Reborn baby she can really bond with.
I am so confused on how you waited 5 years for her and payed that much money and she looks like that with hardly any of the stuff you asked for. She shipped my doll after a year and 9 days and I am currently waiting for her because that was only a few days ago, but I do not understand how she can make one person wait 5 years and another person only have to wait 1. Also I don't want to sound rude, but the baby doesn't look as realistic as her other work has.
Did you contact Nikki and say you are unhappy with the quality? What did she say? Also, I'm thinking about getting another custom reborn doll is there an artist you would recommend? Thank you and I'm sorry about your doll.
Hope you ask for a refund,Nikki's prices are rediculous.im in Australia and I have yet to see a reborn worth buying from her.What a shame ,all the best 😢
I am really sorry you got such a poor quality baby. I would be heartbroken. I have several reborns that I paid in the $900 range for and there is no comparison to the doll you received. All of mine are beautifully rooted with detailed painting and came with many lovely outfits and accessories that were included in the price. I would have asked for a full refund.
Hello Nadia, I agree she was not the quality that I had paid for or expected. Her accessories were not what I had hoped either. All in all a very disappointing experience.
Thank you for posting this! I wish I did my research before putting a deposit down which I'm sure I'll never get back, she is known to ghost people once they complain. The reviews on this nursery are horrible. I'm so glad I seen the reviews earlier than after I paid and waited X amount of years.
Happened to me too, maybe three years back? Absolutely awful quality. Hair was disgusting and felt akin to pubic hair. Absolutely no detail. I have never been more disappointed in my life.
I thought waiting nearly two years was a long time. I paid extra for a magnetic hair bow and back plate. I didn't receive them, but ultimately, I decided to let it go. What did you decide?
Hi. I got a refund for the items that were missing only so in total she refunded about $100. I did not get a refund for the items that I paid for but that I believe were not as described or up to the quality it should.
Reborn Mummy The clothing pack, birth mark, milk spots, and beating heart total far more than $100. Different than you, I really found her quite pleasant to work with, but I do think she takes on more work than she can handle. I love Elizabeth, and I'd love to have more of Nikki's babies, but I really don't think I would be willing to wait so long again. Elizabeth's painting seems quite different from Bella's, and I'm quite fond of her rooting as well. If the quality had been lower I would have addressed it more aggressively, but all told I was happy enough to have her despite the fact that some of my bits weren't present.
I wanted to know how could this turn out for you did you get a refund how did it turn out with the doll I put in order in about 2 weeks ago and I sent the money order and for payment and haven't gotten anything back from her she said that the money order heading it arrived just why she couldn't make my baby which was frustrating but every time I update her there's no recent change and I'm concerned that I may be getting scammed so I wanted to know from somebody who's brought here before
Polopony20 hello, yes i am sure as i had direct contact with Nikki, also other things happened since posting this video which proves that it was SMN. It is such a shame as i had such high hopes for this baby. But no it was not a fake it was from her genuine website and youtube etc.
Nikki has a 6 year old daughter. don't get me wrong but I think her daughter might've interrupted her so much that she might've lost focus and forgotten. but that really doesn't look like a good reborn, hers were much better before her daughter was born.
Yes I hear you...I was suffering from Post natal depression, this is a hard thing for me to make public but I have to explain why my work on this baby wasn't up to my best work. I have offered her a brand new baby, just waiting to hear back :)
5 years for this doll??? I'm so sorry, this is a scam. She takes advantage of her platform and sold you a low quality doll. This doll looks like it could be bought at walmart
I don't think there's any question here, you did not receive what you paid for. Me personally would never wait 5 years for a doll, too impatient I guess! You have all the proof you need, the invoice and the doll. I would hesitate to ask for the doll to be done right, who knows how long that would take. A refund in full would be nice, if not a refund for all the items you did not receive. I hope you can get some satisfaction on this. Sorry she wasn't what you waited so long for.
You need to contract them with your concerns and if no luck how did you pay for her ? PayPal if so you can go to them with your concerns and they will help you get a refund and I think if you played by credit card you can do the same as they have sent you a doll that doesn't mach the description . Hope this helps but don't leave it to long before you contacted them xx
I’m sorry you feel my dolls are of a lower quality, but over the years, I have put more and more time and effort into every reborn doll I make than ever before and I’m always learning new methods to make them more realistic, like our new breathing mechanism, custom made rings to allow better movement and sooo much more.. My goal has always been to try to make reborns more and more realistic. But I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I will take your comments onboard. Please also note that video cameras, like phones, will not show the true detail or colouring of a doll, so to see the detail you need view all the high quality images taken of each doll.
Tell them that your not happy ask if you get a refund. If you can't ..Hopefully you used PayPal or a Credit card.. contact them let them deal with it .
Yes we did resolve the issues she had and I did refund her for the items I missed. I have also offered her a brand new baby and have explained how my post natal depression effected my work.
I honestly don't know how people order from this artist. Her rooted hair in her box packings show she is not good at rooting. I've visited her website just for giggles and she charges people for every little thing. I saw your receipt and did I see you were charged for 3 pacifiers at $79? As for the beating heart, I purchased a few from Bountiful Baby for about $6.00. They have also been on sale for $2.95. I think people buy from her because she is all over youtube and assume they're getting a quality product.
I paid $700 for my new levi, he looks hyper-realistic. I wouldn't be happy and trust me I would throw a fit. Slam it into paypal and yell it all around. $900 for a baby that doesn't have what you want, nor the items you requested is shady business. If I was you I would email her and address the issue that if you aren't happy at all and that the doll is not worth $900. If it were me there would be a scene.
Leesh Bomb hello yes i did buy her direct from the still moments nursery. So it was from nikki direct. I also have the certificate from nikki and my pics from stil moments nursery so yes it was from the nursery direct
You paid that much for a doll of that quality and waited 5 years for that. I don't own a reborning business but I do sell hand made goods and wouldn't have that customer service and that price for a low quality. I watched the box opening as well and was shocked!
Sorry it’s hard to believe it took 5 years to get her. Maybe 2 years I’ve heard but not 5 years. I wouldn’t leave it that long to do something, I would get my money back way before this cause I would hound her, And make sure she refunds me.
It appears to me you've punked. This doll looks like a knock off from China. I believe on a professional level the Real artist is supposed to send photos of the finished product, & you have to approve(checklist) before it gets shipped to you. Before you post ANY reviews contact the sender
If anyone knows someone who would be willing to repaint and root my reborn I would really appreciate it. My artist was horrible and I paid a lot of money for him and his lips are even peeling and his leg has detached so please if anyone knows someone let me know :)
I have a similar experience with her, with my doll Summer, she was about £600-£700 (GBP) she has minimal veining and details, I asked for one birthmark on her face, I got one on her face and one on her arm that looks a little smudged. I asked for Remy human hair, but the hair she has feels straw-like, and like its low quality. I paid in full in one payment, yet I had to wait two years for her to be done and sent to me. I won't order from her again. I'm sure it was her as I ordered through the website she linked on her facebook and youtube. I have been watching her for years, and I'd been saving up to get one of her dolls, she wouldn't do a box packing of her also, I paid for a baby brush too, but it wasn't in the box. I was really disappointed when I got Summer. Obviously I still love her to pieces, its been a year or so since I got her.
Baby Boo Nursery hello. I am afraid that she was a genuine still moments nursery as the box opening will show, also that it really did take 5 yrs to get to me as another video will show as it includes copies of emails from nikki with the dates on which state december 2017. I also have all the paperwork that came with her to prove that she is a genuine still moments nursery doll.
Hi i did contact her and got a refund on the missing items. But i still dont think she was worth the money. The ultimate clothing pack i brought for example and i do not feel the clothing i recieved valued the amount i paid.
Definitely complain! I would ask that you receive the baby you paid for, with everything it was to have. It was all paid for! Personally I sell better quality than that for half the price! So sorry you got took after waiting so long. 😖
Leesh Bomb hello. No it was direct from nikki and her nursery thru her website so was 100% from there. As she was a custom as well so it was a process of hair colour and eye colour that i was involved with.
I have been watching Smn for years and always thought the dolls were a bit pale and unrealistic, but I thought Nikkei was a genuine person, that's why I kept watching. The clothing and a ccsessories are very bizarre looking and not worth what she charges. Charging for painting skin tone, birthmarks and milk spots is ridiculous. This is an over hyped person who is exploiting the public.
I got a baby from her years ago before she had her daughter and loved what I got everything was correct to what I asked for and she took a year. this is so strange she looks like a store brought doll you definitely need to talk to Nikki about this!
Hi Chloe, Im happy to hear you love your baby I made for you and I do apologize for the time frame. I was suffering from post natal depression (something I find hard to admit) and this did effect my work but Im trying to make good on all the things that went wrong during that time.
The SMN Show I have no issues with you Nikki, no need to worry. Just be open and honest, I know you’re a good artist and something must have been up and it clearly was xxx
@@Chloe9Isabelle Thanks, I am trying to be open and honest about my depression and really hope I haven't hurt my business reputation because of it. That's why I feel I need to offer her a replacement baby as my work quality on her baby wasn't up to my best standard.
@@stillmomentsnursery Nikki i hope you post a video showing the replacement, or if she doesn't take a replacement, an apology video. Ive always wanted a doll from you, but no longer am looking into that.
Make a copy of that receipt you showed and read us.... Check EVERYTHING you mentioned in the video..... SEND it to them and tell them you want an adjustment on your bill!!! You could also send them another message asking what they're going to do! I would NOT let them getaway with that... You've been scammed!!!!
Sorry, we even waited for 5 year's, report it that's not even right, when I order from her, cause I myself have order from her mine took 2years but 5 years . Really , when I order from her if you remember she said 24 weeks, not 2or 5 year's . If I'm right 24 weeks is about 6 months. Again sorry I would report it.
OMG no you could have got a better one from paradise galleries for 100 you have paid too much for this doll you must contact her and why did She take 5 years ?
Ashley Waterstone hello Ashley, what is fake? Everything i have said is backed up in later videos with proof im afraid. Including emails which show dates. This is not fake
Amber Gilbert i wish it was fake, but im afraid no the doll on the left is in fact from Nikki as you can see by the box opening of her and also from the watermark photos that i have of her.
you all know that its not just the price of everything added up but also the price of time spent on making the reborns that is added to the price plus i saw the pictures of the reborn in the video on the smn website and it diffidently looks amazing but in the video it looks like its been played with a bit and not very good lighting. but in my opinion it is totally worth the money spent.
This is very Odd for a still moments nursery doll! My sister ordered a doll from Nikkei and it was perfect! I'm so confused and would demand a refund if i was u
She uses air dry paints that's why she doesn't look real. Thanks for sharing because I was going to order from her but now I won't! Thanks for sharing her horrible quality. But do get your money back and find a better artist to paint her and stuff.
I watched her videos, she is not a very good artist. I’ve seen the finished hair and it’s amateurish. I believe she gets orders since she has a youtube channel.
Guys why you hate nikki she a good artist reborn, you guys so stupid, if you angree on nikki's don't buy reborn from her anymore, are you guys understand 😤😤😤😡😡😡😡
Honestly I can’t stand this video i recommend buying Nikki’s dolls so i just think you took bad care of that poor doll P.S im not trying too be mean but it is just rude too give her a bad rating
Lol if you hadnt seen it before then you would have known that this video was from the day i got the doll. Also i have done further videos with proof about the bad service i got from Nikki. Everyone is allowed their opinion but saying that it is because i took bad care of a baby that i only opened that day and videoed opening well i think you may need to check your facts before commenting in future or you make yourself look like an idiot if im honest. As i paid so much for the baby i am allowed to give whatever review i like. Anyone that asks me i will be honest with them. Plus after speaking with others turns out that i am not the only who experienced poor quality and service. Its sweet your trying to defend her but in this case its a moot point. Have a good day.
Hi Katrina,
I somehow missed your response video regarding your reborn doll, I didn’t realize just how upset you were with your baby and want to try and make good with you the best I can.
I feel really upset that this was your first reborn baby, and you thought she was such a disappointment and can't bond with her.
I was a new mum to my daughter Miah and dealing with post natal depression at the time, which is clearly seen in my work, I am so so sorry.
I feel looking back that I could have done a lot better with your baby. I’m not trying to make excuses but would you please consider me making you a Twin A or B by Bonnie Brown to show you my true workman ship and as a apology, you don’t have to send your reborn back to me or pay for the new baby to be shipped.
Please let me know your thoughts and accept my humble apology.
Yours sincerely,
Nikki Holland
Post partum depression is a bitch 😫 I'm sorry you had to go through that
I'm sorry you had to go through that x
Aww I'm so sorry
I understand mental health issues but why accept the orders? If you can’t do it properly, just don’t do it until you can??🤦♀️
I saw this video a week or so ago and I just want to thank you for sharing your experience. I'm also so sorry this happened to you. I had placed an order for a doll from Still Moments Nursery, but luckily I hadn't paid anything on it yet and now I'm for sure not going to!

Sorry you didnt get what you paid for horrible. Glad i now reborn my dolls and was able to fix mine.
Definitely contact her and demand a refund. For as much as she charged for her you did not get what you paid for. Period. Sorry about that!
I had to pay alot for the baby and i just do not see how she can justify charging that amount
I’m currently canceling my order, because 5 years is a ridiculous amount of time and I read a comment saying she barely paints the dolls and I agree. Btw to cancel an order you must pay 20% 🤨
FIVE YEARS
I am going to say, that this is not even the baby you ordered.

Hello Trish. Thank you for your words. I feel like the baby was nothing like what i was expecting to get for the price i paid.
You are very welcome, hun. xxxxxx
Trish Attwells thanks Trish. X
That is shocking! She looks like a paradise gallery doll! Definitely not worth $900! Did you get your refund?! I hope so!
Hi Olivia, I agree she doesn't look like a proper reborn does she?
Reborn Mummy nope she doesn’t! I hope you got your money back I’ve been watching her channel for a couple of years now and her dolls have always looked amazing! But after watching this my opinion on her has changed!

I know that is what i dont get either. I agree she doesnt really look real at àll
Did you contact Nikki and say you are unhappy with the quality? What did she say? Also, I'm thinking about getting another custom reborn doll is there an artist you would recommend? Thank you and I'm sorry about your doll.
You have waited 5 years for her??
I know it was far too long wasnt it
Hope you ask for a refund,Nikki's prices are rediculous.im in Australia and I have yet to see a reborn worth buying from her.What a shame ,all the best 😢
The prices are crazy yes and i was so disappointed in the quality of baby i recieved.
I am really sorry you got such a poor quality baby. I would be heartbroken. I have several reborns that I paid in the $900 range for and there is no comparison to the doll you received. All of mine are beautifully rooted with detailed painting and came with many lovely outfits and accessories that were included in the price. I would have asked for a full refund.

Hannah Bumbray it does say it takes up to 5 months to be done and sent to you on her information about ordering a custom baby.
are you sure it wasnt someone faking being SMN?? I`ve gotten fakes (not reborns, horse stuff) from websites that looked 100% real.
Polopony20 hello, yes i am sure as i had direct contact with Nikki, also other things happened since posting this video which proves that it was SMN.
It is such a shame as i had such high hopes for this baby.
But no it was not a fake it was from her genuine website and youtube etc.
Tell the artist about what she did not do. Ask her to refund that amount.
Nikki has a 6 year old daughter. don't get me wrong but I think her daughter might've interrupted her so much that she might've lost focus and forgotten. but that really doesn't look like a good reborn, hers were much better before her daughter was born.
Yes I hear you...I was suffering from Post natal depression, this is a hard thing for me to make public but I have to explain why my work on this baby wasn't up to my best work.
I have offered her a brand new baby, just waiting to hear back :)
Ok thanks for your reply. I understand and looking to buy from you in the future
Her work is a lot more better now
5 years for this doll??? I'm so sorry, this is a scam. She takes advantage of her platform and sold you a low quality doll. This doll looks like it could be bought at walmart
I don't think there's any question here, you did not receive what you paid for. Me personally would never wait 5 years for a doll, too impatient I guess! You have all the proof you need, the invoice and the doll. I would hesitate to ask for the doll to be done right, who knows how long that would take. A refund in full would be nice, if not a refund for all the items you did not receive. I hope you can get some satisfaction on this. Sorry she wasn't what you waited so long for.
I didn't get what i thought i would thats for certain.
You need to contact the seller and list your complaints. Too expensive to just settle.
Good luck Sweetie.
Thank you so much.
I will be messaging her
You need to contract them with your concerns and if no luck how did you pay for her ? PayPal if so you can go to them with your concerns and they will help you get a refund and I think if you played by credit card you can do the same as they have sent you a doll that doesn't mach the description . Hope this helps but don't leave it to long before you contacted them xx
Hi.i did pay by paypal but i think i only have a short time to claim a refund . Also she has a no refund policy on customs
Paul ine Hallsworth no
She only shows the babies that turn out good, she’s actually not a very good artist. Super disappointing. :(
I’m sorry you feel my dolls are of a lower quality, but over the years, I have put more and more time and effort into every reborn doll I make than ever before and I’m always learning new methods to make them more realistic, like our new breathing mechanism, custom made rings to allow better movement and sooo much more.. My goal has always been to try to make reborns more and more realistic. But I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I will take your comments onboard.
Please also note that video cameras, like phones, will not show the true detail or colouring of a doll, so to see the detail you need view all the high quality images taken of each doll.
Tell them that your not happy ask if you get a refund. If you can't ..Hopefully you used PayPal or a Credit card.. contact them let them deal with it .
Please tell us the outcome of this. Were you able to get your money back? I’m so sorry this happened to you.
Yes we did resolve the issues she had and I did refund her for the items I missed.
I have also offered her a brand new baby and have explained how my post natal depression effected my work.
I thought the 2 year wait was long for me. 5 years thats too long of a wait.
I honestly don't know how people order from this artist. Her rooted hair in her box packings show she is not good at rooting. I've visited her website just for giggles and she charges people for every little thing. I saw your receipt and did I see you were charged for 3 pacifiers at $79? As for the beating heart, I purchased a few from Bountiful Baby for about $6.00. They have also been on sale for $2.95. I think people buy from her because she is all over youtube and assume they're getting a quality product.
I paid $700 for my new levi, he looks hyper-realistic. I wouldn't be happy and trust me I would throw a fit. Slam it into paypal and yell it all around. $900 for a baby that doesn't have what you want, nor the items you requested is shady business. If I was you I would email her and address the issue that if you aren't happy at all and that the doll is not worth $900. If it were me there would be a scene.
Did u actually bye them from her or from someone els
Leesh Bomb hello yes i did buy her direct from the still moments nursery. So it was from nikki direct. I also have the certificate from nikki and my pics from stil moments nursery so yes it was from the nursery direct
You paid that much for a doll of that quality and waited 5 years for that. I don't own a reborning business but I do sell hand made goods and wouldn't have that customer service and that price for a low quality. I watched the box opening as well and was shocked!
So was i. I was very disappointed.
She looks like a doll from target
Sorry it’s hard to believe it took 5 years to get her. Maybe 2 years I’ve heard but not 5 years. I wouldn’t leave it that long to do something, I would get my money back way before this cause I would hound her, And make sure she refunds me.
It appears to me you've punked. This doll looks like a knock off from China. I believe on a professional level the Real artist is supposed to send photos of the finished product, & you have to approve(checklist) before it gets shipped to you. Before you post ANY reviews contact the sender
If anyone knows someone who would be willing to repaint and root my reborn I would really appreciate it. My artist was horrible and I paid a lot of money for him and his lips are even peeling and his leg has detached so please if anyone knows someone let me know :)
I have a similar experience with her, with my doll Summer, she was about £600-£700 (GBP) she has minimal veining and details, I asked for one birthmark on her face, I got one on her face and one on her arm that looks a little smudged. I asked for Remy human hair, but the hair she has feels straw-like, and like its low quality. I paid in full in one payment, yet I had to wait two years for her to be done and sent to me. I won't order from her again. I'm sure it was her as I ordered through the website she linked on her facebook and youtube. I have been watching her for years, and I'd been saving up to get one of her dolls, she wouldn't do a box packing of her also, I paid for a baby brush too, but it wasn't in the box. I was really disappointed when I got Summer. Obviously I still love her to pieces, its been a year or so since I got her.
Not happy? Stop complaining and send it back. Get a refund. Get a refund!
5 years is not acceptable to wait for any type of purchase and besides that she looks like a play baby doll you could buy for $50.
How can this woman get away with doing this to so many people?
I don’t think those are from SMN because 5 years, ok...... also they don’t look like a doll from her...
Baby Boo Nursery hello.
I am afraid that she was a genuine still moments nursery as the box opening will show, also that it really did take 5 yrs to get to me as another video will show as it includes copies of emails from nikki with the dates on which state december 2017.
I also have all the paperwork that came with her to prove that she is a genuine still moments nursery doll.
you should contact her and tell her to give you a refund for what she didn't give you
Hi i did contact her and got a refund on the missing items. But i still dont think she was worth the money. The ultimate clothing pack i brought for example and i do not feel the clothing i recieved valued the amount i paid.
I would demand a full refund, awful quality , hugs xxx
I was hoping for so much more
Definitely complain! I would ask that you receive the baby you paid for, with everything it was to have. It was all paid for! Personally I sell better quality than that for half the price! So sorry you got took after waiting so long. 😖
Yes i think that the doll i got was more a store brought doll. She did not look like one that i would get from a good quality artist
Those are decently not hers you did not bye it from her maybe someone was pretending to be her or sell something of hers
Leesh Bomb hello. No it was direct from nikki and her nursery thru her website so was 100% from there.
As she was a custom as well so it was a process of hair colour and eye colour that i was involved with.
I have been watching Smn for years and always thought the dolls were a bit pale and unrealistic, but I thought Nikkei was a genuine person, that's why I kept watching. The clothing and a ccsessories are very bizarre looking and not worth what she charges. Charging for painting skin tone, birthmarks and milk spots is ridiculous. This is an over hyped person who is exploiting the public.
Yep I agree
They look like the fake China dolls
I think one looks better than the other
I’m late but was about to buy one thank you so much for making this video
That looks horrible. I would get money back
I got a baby from her years ago before she had her daughter and loved what I got everything was correct to what I asked for and she took a year. this is so strange she looks like a store brought doll you definitely need to talk to Nikki about this!
Hi Chloe, Im happy to hear you love your baby I made for you and I do apologize for the time frame.
I was suffering from post natal depression (something I find hard to admit) and this did effect my work but Im trying to make good on all the things that went wrong during that time.
The SMN Show I have no issues with you Nikki, no need to worry. Just be open and honest, I know you’re a good artist and something must have been up and it clearly was xxx
@@Chloe9Isabelle Thanks, I am trying to be open and honest about my depression and really hope I haven't hurt my business reputation because of it. That's why I feel I need to offer her a replacement baby as my work quality on her baby wasn't up to my best standard.
@@stillmomentsnursery Nikki i hope you post a video showing the replacement, or if she doesn't take a replacement, an apology video. Ive always wanted a doll from you, but no longer am looking into that.
Get your money back or let the artist know that your very unhappy and why
Make a copy of that receipt you showed and read us.... Check EVERYTHING you mentioned in the video..... SEND it to them and tell them you want an adjustment on your bill!!! You could also send them another message asking what they're going to do! I would NOT let them getaway with that... You've been scammed!!!!
Hello Pam.
To be honest its been something of a nightmare that i didnt think would ever be over
That doll is not even close to what you ordered.
Sorry, we even waited for 5 year's, report it that's not even right, when I order from her, cause I myself have order from her mine took 2years but 5 years . Really , when I order from her if you remember she said 24 weeks, not 2or 5 year's . If I'm right 24 weeks is about 6 months. Again sorry I would report it.
Hello Hilda. Even 2 yrs is too long isnt it
Send her back That's a lot of money
OMG no you could have got a better one from paradise galleries for 100 you have paid too much for this doll you must contact her and why did She take 5 years ?
I agree. I do not feel that i got what i paid for at all
tbh this is fake. don't belive it
Ashley Waterstone hello Ashley, what is fake?
Everything i have said is backed up in later videos with proof im afraid.
Including emails which show dates.
This is not fake
Reborn Mummy well then it was probably a mistake
😞 I wouldn't but from SMN either.... sorry this happened to you.
im so sorry that was alot of money for you not to get what you wanted i would tell her about it
Hello
I have told her that i am not happy. This baby was not worth the amount i paid at all which is a shame i think
I would tell her by all means, I can do better than that and I'm not an experienced reborner.
I know i was shocked when i got her
This doesn't even look like her work its so bad
This canft be right Nikki does dolls that are way more high quality. I think these are fakes
Amber Gilbert i wish it was fake, but im afraid no the doll on the left is in fact from Nikki as you can see by the box opening of her and also from the watermark photos that i have of her.
you all know that its not just the price of everything added up but also the price of time spent on making the reborns that is added to the price plus i saw the pictures of the reborn in the video on the smn website and it diffidently looks amazing but in the video it looks like its been played with a bit and not very good lighting. but in my opinion it is totally worth the money spent.
So sorry for your dissapointment
Hello.
Thank you so much. It was a big disappointment
This is very Odd for a still moments nursery doll!
My sister ordered a doll from Nikkei and it was perfect! I'm so confused and would demand a refund if i was u
She uses air dry paints that's why she doesn't look real. Thanks for sharing because I was going to order from her but now I won't! Thanks for sharing her horrible quality. But do get your money back and find a better artist to paint her and stuff.
Hello.
I certainly wont be ordering from her again
$900-for that! Wow girl Ashton Drake is much much cheaper!!!
I know. I do feel a little scammed by it. Which i hate saying
I watched her videos, she is not a very good artist. I’ve seen the finished hair and it’s amateurish. I believe she gets orders since she has a youtube channel.
Guys why you hate nikki she a good artist reborn, you guys so stupid, if you angree on nikki's don't buy reborn from her anymore, are you guys understand 😤😤😤😡😡😡😡
I'd say you've been ripped off, I'd return for a refund!
She is a theif
This is terrible reborning simple as that.
Honestly I can’t stand this video i recommend buying Nikki’s dolls so i just think you took bad care of that poor doll
P.S im not trying too be mean but it is just rude too give her a bad rating
Lol if you hadnt seen it before then you would have known that this video was from the day i got the doll.
Also i have done further videos with proof about the bad service i got from Nikki.
Everyone is allowed their opinion but saying that it is because i took bad care of a baby that i only opened that day and videoed opening well i think you may need to check your facts before commenting in future or you make yourself look like an idiot if im honest.
As i paid so much for the baby i am allowed to give whatever review i like.
Anyone that asks me i will be honest with them. Plus after speaking with others turns out that i am not the only who experienced poor quality and service.
Its sweet your trying to defend her but in this case its a moot point.
Have a good day.
Reborn Mummy sorry
Reborn Mummy plz forgive me im sorry
Ivy Harned hi. Of course. Nothing to forgive you had your opinion.
No worries
