Tortoise
Tortoise will always be famous. No matter the time of year (but especially colder months), "tortie" nails are chic and super wearable. A great set to branch out of your usual neutrals.
At Julia's Doing Nails, every set of press on nails is individually handcrafted to order with care and attention to detail. As each set is made by hand, slight variations are part of the unique nature of handmade products.
Handmade products
Minor variations in colour, placement, artwork, glitter distribution, embellishment or finish may occur and are not considered faults.
Sizing
Customers are responsible for selecting the correct nail size before purchasing. Please refer to the Size Guide and follow the measuring instructions carefully. Julia's Doing Nails cannot be held responsible for incorrect sizing chosen at the time of ordering.
Colour
I am to display product colours as accurately as possible. However, colours may appear slightly different depending on your device or screen settings.
Nail care & wear
The longevity of your press on nails depends on correct preparation, application, daily activities and aftercare. Individual wear times will vary.
For best results:
Follow the included application instructions and information available to you on the Julia's Doing Nails Website.
Avoid prolonged exposure to water for the first few hours after application.
wear gloves when cleaning or using harsh chemicals.
Avoid exposing cuticle and nail area to oils and moisturizers as this can dissolve the glue bond.
Remove nails carefully following the provided removal instructions to minimise potential damage to your natural and press on nails.
My press on nails are designed to be reusable when removed carefully, cleaned correctly and stored appropriately between wears. Reuse cannot be guaranteed if the nails are damaged during wear or removal.
Allergies & sensitivities
Some application products, including nail glue and adhesive tabs, may contain ingredients that can cause irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals. Please discontinue use immediately if irritation occurs. Julia's Doing Nails is not responsible for reactions to products supplied or chosen by the customer.
Product care
Store your nails in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat when not in use. Proper storage will help maintain their appearance and longevity.
Consumer guarantees
Nothing in this policy limits your rights under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. If a product is faulty, not of acceptable quality, or does not match its description, please contact me so I can resolve the issue in accordance with New Zealand consumer law.
Only use press on nails as directed.
Follow all application and removal instructions in your kit and on the website to avoid damaging your press on nails and natural nails.
Follow re-using guide for proper cleaning of your reusable nails.
Avoid submerging press on nails in water unless following the removal process. Avoid oils and moisturizers around the cuticle and nail area, avoid using your press on nails as tools as this can affect the longevity of your application by affecting the glue bond and cause damage to the natural nail.
