Safety Precautions

💅 Nail Polish Safety:

🌤 Keep it cool and shady (Store below 30℃) - yep, even magic polish needs a break from the sun.

🔥 Keep away from heat and flames - this stuff is flammable.

👀 Avoid your eyes. If it gets in there, rinse with water right away.

🖐 Only for your nails - not on your skin, not on your bath, not on your dog.

👅 Don’t eat it (obvs!). If swallowed, get medical help or call a Poison Centre straightaway. Pretty sure you knew that, but just in case!

🚸 Keep Out of Reach of Young Children – Store safely away from young kids to prevent accidental misuse.

♻️ Finished your bottle? The glass can be recycled. Nice one.
