Returns and Refunds:
All of my products are sold in new condition. Due to the nature of nail polish and related items, returns, exchanges, and refunds will not be offered. All sales are final. In some cases I may issue a refund or replacement if it is warranted (e.g. if something arrives damaged or defective, if something is missing from your order, or if you are sent an incorrect item).
If there are any problems with your order, please contact me immediately (via email at info@polishedpraxis.com) with pictures and clearly state any issues that may arise, please include your order number as well. All issues should be addressed immediately upon discovery and are limited to 30 days from purchase. After 30 days any action is at my full discretion.
I cannot offer exchanges or refunds for polishes bought second-hand.
If you wish to cancel an order, please email me at info@polishedpraxis.com. If an order has already shipped I will not be able to cancel it.
Shipping and TAT (turnaround time):
I currently only offer shipping within the US. I plan to expand shipping locations eventually and will post updates to socials and this site once I am ready to expand.
Orders that are $100 or more will ship free, no code needed.
My estimated turnaround time will be 7-21 days from the time an order is placed to when you receive it (barring any unforeseen delays on the shipping servicer's end).
I offer shipping via USPS only at this time. I may expand to other carriers if I receive requests for other options.
I am not combining orders at this time.
I do not plan to operate on a pre-order model at this time so that I can keep the window from order to shipment short. While there are aspects of the pre-order model that may be appealing, I prefer to have everything made and ready to go at launch. While this may limit my stock at times, I will always plan to restock items as quickly as I can. I expect that my first few collections will have limited stock. If this ever changes, I will update people via my socials and by updating this page.
What to do if you believe your package is lost:
Please contact me with your order information via email at info@polishedpraxis.com. I will file a Missing Mail Search Request form on your behalf (it takes about 24 hours to show this status update in your tracking). It can take 1-3 weeks for these situations to fully resolve. If there is still no movement, I will offer a refund or replacement.
What to do if your package says it's delivered but you haven't received it:
My official obligation ends when a package is marked delivered, but there are some steps you can take if this happens. USPS occasionally mis-scans or delays package deliveries, things mistakenly get left in the delivery truck, etc. The first step to take is to contact your local USPS location directly, provide the tracking number for your package (you will have received this in your shipping confirmation email) and see if they can find it in their backroom/the back of a delivery truck, or see if they can give you detailed GPS location data for when the item was delivered. I make no guarantees that I can offer any refunds, etc. in this case. If you want your order to be held at your local post office for pick up, please add a note to your order, or email me immediately after placing it.

All of Polished Praxis' offerings are hand-mixed and batches may have some slight variances to them. Small specks of pigment may occasionally be present in hand-mixed polishes as well. Please be aware that some pigments may fade over time, and I can only guarantee no fading of polishes within the first 6 months of their life. I recommend storing polishes in a dark, temperature controlled space for best longevity.
All of my polishes are hand-made, vegan, cruelty-free, and 10-free. 10-free means my polishes are free of common harmful ingredients found in some nail polish manufacturing (toluene, DBP (dibutyl phthalate), formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, camphor, xylene, ethyl tosylamide, phthalates, parabens and fragrances).
I create and sell regular nail polish/lacquer, none of my products require a UV lamp to cure.
Magnetic polishes will require use of magnets to get the desired effects from them. Magnets are sold separately.
FAQs:
Do you have any socials where brand updates are posted?
Yes, you can find me on Instagram @polishedpraxis - this is my main social media presence:
https://www.instagram.com/polishedpraxis
I also have a Facebook information page (I update this less frequently):
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61580714367571
These are my only social media pages at this time.
How can I contact you?
Please reach out for any customer service inquiries, questions, concerns, or feedback by emailing me at info@polishedpraxis.com or by navigating to the contact page on this site and filling out the form. You can also reach me by DMing my instagram account if you have general questions or feedback. For any concerns related to orders, please keep communications to email.
Are your offerings limited edition?
My polishes and cuticle oils are not limited edition, however I do make them in small batches and I will periodically restock them. I expect that stock will be limited for the first few releases and restocks while I gradually build my brand. Cuticle oils may stick around for shorter periods of time than polishes.
So long as pigments and any other ingredients remain available for my products, I will continue to produce my polishes if there is sufficient demand for them. I may periodically cull items from my catalog based on demand, or to make room for new offerings. I will do my best to communicate before any polishes are removed permanently from my catalog.
Are your offerings pre-order?
No, I am not currently working on a pre-order model. I mix everything before hand and then list items on the site. If I ever switch to a pre-order model, I will announce that here and on my socials.
Do you use AI in any aspect of your business - ads, descriptions, product photos, etc?
No, I will never use AI to produce any imagery or descriptions for anything in my business in any capacity. I believe that art should be made by artists in all aspects, not by machines who steal art from people.
