This policy outlines how we deliver your artistic tools to your doorstep and our commitment to ensuring your complete satisfaction.

🔄 Returns & Exchange Policy

We understand that sometimes a shade isn’t quite right or an item needs swapping. Our returns policy is designed to be as clear and supportive as our nail art tutorials.

Our Returns & Exchange Promise

We offer a straightforward, 15-day return or exchange policy from the date you receive your order. Whether you’ve changed your mind about an Autumn 24 shade or received an incorrect item from our Bags & Cases collection, we’re here to help.

📦 Key Policy Points

  • Return Window: 15 days from the delivery date
  • Condition: Items must be unused, unopened, and in their original, saleable condition with all seals intact
  • Proof of Purchase: Your order number or confirmation email is required
  • Return Shipping: Customers are responsible for the cost of return shipping unless the return is due to our error (e.g., wrong or faulty item)
  • Refund Method: Refunds will be issued to the original payment method used (Visa, MasterCard, JCB, PayPal)

🔄 The Step-by-Step Return Process

Within 15 days of delivery, email us at [email protected] with your order number and details of the item(s) you wish to return or exchange.
We’ll email you within 24-48 hours with a Returns Authorisation (RA) number and the return address for our Bristol hub.
Securely pack the unused, original items. Include a copy of your order confirmation or a note with your RA number and order number.
Send the package using a tracked service (we recommend it for your peace of mind). Keep your proof of postage.
Once received at our studio, we’ll inspect the items and email you to confirm the next steps:
  • For a refund: We’ll initiate the refund to your original payment method
  • For an exchange: We’ll dispatch your new item (subject to availability) via your preferred shipping method. Any price difference will be charged or refunded

⏱️ Refund Timelines & Methods

Your refund is processed with the same care as we mix our 4D Gels.

  • Processing: 1-2 business days after we receive and approve your return
  • Bank/Payment Provider Processing: 5-10 business days. The time it appears in your account depends on your bank or PayPal
  • Method: Refunds are issued only to the original payment method used (Visa, MasterCard, JCB, PayPal). We cannot refund to a different card or account

Shipping costs are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error.

⚠️ Important Exceptions & Non-Returnable Items

To ensure the safety and integrity of our products for our entire creative community, the following items cannot be returned or exchanged for hygiene and safety reasons:

🔒 Non-Returnable Products

  • Opened or Used Products: Any gel polish, builder gel (including Fast & Easy Builder Gel), Gel Paint, Cleanser, or liquid product where the seal is broken
  • Personal Care Tools: Brushes, File & Buffers, and other non-sterilisable tools
  • Sale/Discounted Items: Clearly marked final sale products
  • Custom or Made-to-Order Items: Any product not part of our standard collection
  • Damaged Due to Misuse: Products damaged after delivery or not used as per instructions

Why? As a professional-quality brand, we must guarantee that every product reaching our customers—from a nail artist to a BLUESKY Kids parent—is pristine, sealed, and safe. Thank you for understanding.

🚨 Faulty Items?

If you receive a damaged, defective, or incorrect item (e.g., a broken bottle of Glass Gel or the wrong Flower foil), please contact us immediately at [email protected] with photos. We will cover all return shipping costs and send a replacement promptly.

🌍 International Returns (Outside UK)

Our global community is important to us. For customers outside the UK:

  • You are responsible for return shipping costs and any applicable customs duties or taxes incurred on the returned parcel
