Do you have discounts or promo codes that I can use for my order?
We do! Sign up for our newsletter (and follow us on Instagram and Tiktok ) to be the first to get notified about exclusive sales, giveaways, our latest launches, news and more! 

How do I apply a promo code?
Promo codes can be applied to your order at checkout. There is a space to enter the code just above the subtotal. Codes do not always apply to discounted items. Promo codes have expiration dates. You can only use one promotion code at a time.

When will you be restocking sold out products?
Sign up for our newsletter to be the first to receive announcements about restocks and new products! We will be restocking some styles, but once limited edition styles sell out, they're gone forever!

Can I change or cancel my order?
In an effort to ship out your products efficiently, we immediately begin processing your order as soon as it is placed. Unfortunately, once orders are submitted, they cannot be canceled or modified. If there is an issue with your order, please e-mail us immediately at help@scandalbeauty.com 

How can I check the status of my order?
Once an order has shipped, you will receive an email with tracking information in order to easily track your package. If you have not received a shipping confirmation email within a few days of placing your order, please check your “spam” folder.

PAYMENT:

What currency is my order charged in?
Our default currency is US Dollars. You can view prices in your local currency using the currency converter available on our site. These prices are a guide only and are subject to change based on conversion rates. At the checkout, your order will default to $USD, however you will only pay for the items in your local currency.

That means that despite the change in currency at checkout, the price or value of the items will not change. You only get charged in your local currency and this will also be reflected on your statement.

I am an international customer, do I have to pay customs & taxes?
International orders may be subject to import duties and taxes. Unfortunately, we have no control over these charges, as Customs and Import policies vary from country to country. We would advise that you find out what these charges may be before you place your order.

Can you mark my international order as a gift or lower the stated value to avoid customs fees?
No, unfortunately this is fraud, so as required by law all international shipments will show their full value on your shipment’s customs form. 

What payment methods do you accept?
We accept major credit cards, PayPal, ApplePay, Shop Pay, Amazon Pay, Google Pay and Zip.

What is Zip?
Zip is an installment payment platform that allows you to buy now, and pay later. This gives you the option to pay for your order in 4 interest-free installments over six weeks. Just choose Zip as your payment method at checkout. Instant approval, no hard credit checks, and no impact on your credit score—ever.

I’m having trouble with my credit card at checkout.
If you receive an error message related to credit card authorization failure, double check that the billing address on the credit card matches your account billing address, try re-entering your CVV or security code, and be sure that the card is current (not expired) and valid. If an error message is received after a second attempt, we recommend contacting your financial institution for further assistance.

Do you offer wholesale pricing?
If you are a business or retailer and are interested in carrying Scandal Beauty products in your store, please email us at info@scandalbeauty.com with a brief description of your business and proposal. 

DISCOUNT CODES + PROMOTIONS:

How do I apply a discount/ promo code?
Promo codes can be applied to your order at checkout. There is a space to enter the code just above the subtotal.

My promo code isn't working?
It is important to note that promo codes cannot be applied to sale items or used in conjunction with another promotion (only one promo code can be used on an order). A promo code may also be limited to a specific product, have an expiry date or have been assigned to a specific account only.

If none of these apply to you, please contact us at help@scandalbeauty.com for assistance.

Can I use more than one promo code?
Unfortunately we can only allow one promo code per order.

Can I use promo codes on already discounted or sale items? 
Promos codes cannot be used in conjunction with other discounts or sales.

          PRODUCTS:

          What comes with my nail purchase?
          Every set comes complete with 30 multi-sized acrylic nails, a prep kit (a nail file, an alcohol pad, nail glue, adhesive tabs) and detailed instructions on how to apply your press-on nails. 

          How many nails and sizes come in each set?
          Each set comes with 30 multi-sized acrylic nails. Our nails come in sizes 0-14, (every set comes with 2 of each size). We are confident you will be able to find your perfect fit, but if you have any more questions regarding nail sizing please send us an email at help@scandalbeauty.com and we'll be happy to help.

          What are the nails made of?
          Our nails are made of a premium quality ABS acrylic material. They are extremely strong and durable, designed to look and feel like professional salon acrylic nails.  Our nails will not bend however the base of the nails do have a gentle flex to fit your natural nail shape, providing a more comfortable fit.

          What are the ingredients in the glue and adhesive tabs?
          Glue: Ethyl Cyanoacrylate, Polymethyl Methacrylate, BHA 
          Adhesive tabs: Acrylates Copolymer, Polyethylene Terephthalate 

          Should I use the adhesive tabs or the glue?
          The method you choose will depend on how long you want to wear your press-on nails. Adhesive tabs are great for photos or a night out, can last up to two days and are easier to remove. Our professional nail glue provides a much stronger hold, and when applied correctly your nails can last up to two weeks. See full application instructions here.

          How much glue should I use?
          We recommend using one drop for short wear and two to three for a longer wear. See our full application instructions here.

          A nail popped off, what should I do?
          Please carefully follow the application instructions when applying your press-on nails to ensure you’re prepping your natural nails correctly and applying enough glue for your desired wear time.  If you are still having troubles, adding a little more glue will almost always solve the problem! The longer and harder you press down on the nail during application, the better. Try pressing down firmly for 20-30 seconds, making sure you are applying pressure to the entire nail.  You want to avoid air pockets under the press-on nail as this can shorten wear time. You can also bring your nail glue with you in case of emergencies!

          How do I make my nails last longer?
          You can make your nails last longer by carefully following the application instructions. Also keep in mind that wear time varies depending on how rough you are on your hands. To extend the life of your nails, try to be gentle on them. Remember to not use your nails as tools- this means not using them to open packages!   

          We also recommend applying your press-on nails before bed to allow the glue a longer amount of time to fully adhere to your natural nails. If this isn't possible, avoid washing your hands or coming in contact with water for at least 2 hours to give the nails time to fully bond.  Be careful with moisturizers and cuticle oils as well, as oils will cause the glue to break down which will shorten wear time. If you'd like to use cuticle oil, we recommend doing this a day or 2 before applying your press on nails. 

          How do I remove the nails?
          Soak your nails in a bowl of warm soapy water for about 10 minutes. The warmer the better- as hot as you can tolerate comfortably will work best. (If you used the adhesive tabs, 5 minutes should be fine.) We recommend using an oil infused body wash, or adding a few drops of oil to your soapy water. The longer you've been wearing the nails the quicker they will come off. After 10 minutes of soaking, or once you can see the adhesive is beginning to loosen, you can start gently lifting the nail from the sides with the cuticle stick provided. The nails should lift off fairly easily, but if any are being stubborn, just add another drop of oil to where the nail is beginning to lift and continue to soak for a couple more minutes. After all your nails have come off and you've washed your hands you can check if there is any glue residue remaining on your natural nails.  If so, you can easily buff it off with a nail buffer.

          Are the nails reusable?
          They can be! This all depends on how you wear your nails and how rough you are on your hands- because just like salon acrylics, press-on nails can get damaged with wear over time.  Reusing your nails will be easier if you use the adhesive tabs, however if you follow our removal instructions here you may be able to reuse them even if they were originally applied with glue.  Dried and built-up glue can be difficult to remove so we recommend using an inexpensive electric nail file to gently buff away any built up glue on the back of the nails. This will make them much easier to re-apply.

          How long are your nails?
          The length of our nails range from 24.8mm (size 14) to 32.3mm (size 0), however they are completely customizable. If you prefer shorter nails we recommend using a professional nail trimmer to cut them to avoid damaging the press-on nail, you can find ours here. You can also watch our video to see how we like to customize our nails for the best results. 

          Do the nails look natural?
          Our nails are designed to look and feel like professional salon acrylic nails. The base of the nails have a gentle flex to fit your natural nail shape, providing a seamless and comfortable fit. 

          Can I cut or file the nails?
          Yes, our press-on nails can be cut and filed to your preferred shape and/or length but we recommend you wait about an hour or 2 after initial application to give your press-on nails enough time to fully bond with your natural nails. To cut down the length we recommend using professional nail clippers to avoid any damage. Find ours here. For more information on reshaping and customizing your nails watch our video here.

          Can I paint over my press-on nails?
          Of course, we love to see your creations! Make sure to tag us on instagram at @scandal.beauty so we don't miss them. You can change up your nails as often as you like- just keep in mind that you can only use a non-acetone polish remover on your press-on nails.

          Are the press-on nails waterproof?
          Yes! While you should try to avoid soaking your nails in water for long periods of time, if you use our professional nail glue included in your set, and follow our prep and application instructions carefully, you should have no problems.  Showering, washing your hair, etc. is perfectly fine, but also be mindful that many bath and shower products may contain oils which can break down and loosen the adhesive. 

          What do I do with the leftover nails?
          You may be able to use some of them for another set. Try mixing and matching leftover nails with other styles to create your own custom set! You can also trade them with a friend who may wear different sizes than you.

          Will the press-on nails damage my natural nails?
          Press-on nails shouldn't damage your natural nails. Just be sure to carefully follow the application and removal instructions (which you can find here). With press-on nails most damage occurs when people are too rough during the removal process (please don't rip them off!). If you have any concerns we recommend watching our nail removal video here. If you have any other questions or concerns you can contact us anytime at help@scandalbeauty.com

          Can I use press-on nails on missing, damaged or ingrown nails?
          We don't recommend this. You should always ask your doctor for advice before using press on nails if you are missing a nail, if cuticles are inflamed, if nails are ingrown, damaged or in very poor condition or if you have fungal growth. 

          Can I buy Scandal Beauty products in stores?
