This is a display of some of my adult collector sets, mixed with some smaller ones. It represents a shrine of sets that keep me coming back to Lego due to their difficulty and age range. Some sets, like Optimus Prime, took me 4 hours or multiple days to put together which is what I enjoy from Lego, you never feel bored.
Why I still enjoy collecting Lego
These nails are the last set that I did on myself about 2 weeks ago and lasted me 3 weeks. It took me about 2 and a half hours to do. These nails are medium length and well manicured, with a French tip glossy finish. They are painted a soft pink color and each nail has a delicate white flower design, which adds elegance and creativity. As soon as I saw the final result, I got a surge of confidence and I loved them.
Nailin’ it!

Caution: Close Election Ahead
Two of my favorite pieces of clothing are from eBay. The jeans I got are from the brand Imperious. I like the design on the front and back pockets. They are so cool! They were originally $30, but I offered $25 and it was accepted. The shirt was $20 dollars.
