✨ Frequently Asked Questions



Boldly Lacquer

Bewitched by nature, bold by design.





💅 What is Boldly Lacquer?



Boldly Lacquer is a tiny cauldron of creativity bubbling away in coastal Maine. We craft small-batch nail polishes with bold colors, twinkling effects, and a dash of everyday enchantment. If you’ve ever wanted your nails to feel like moonlight on moss or fireflies in a jar—you’re in the right place.





🌿 Is your polish safe for people with gel allergies?



It sure is! Our polishes are gel- and resin-free, so they’re kinder to sensitive hands and those who’ve had not-so-magical reactions to gel products. No burn, no itch—just bold, beautiful color.





🧪 What’s in your polish (or rather, what’s not)?



We’re proudly 5-free, which means our brews skip the nasties: no formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, camphor, or formaldehyde resin. Just vibrant pigment, sparkle, and good vibes.





🇺🇸 Where is it made?



Each bottle is lovingly mixed, poured, and labeled by hand in Maine, where foggy mornings, wild blueberries, and spooky forests keep us inspired.





🐇 Is Boldly Lacquer vegan and cruelty-free?



Always. No animal testing, no animal ingredients, no exceptions. Our magic is made with kindness.





📦 When will my order ship?



Most orders head out within 5–7 business days (our mail owls work hard, promise!). During busy launch weeks or festival prep, give us a smidge more time—we want your order packed just right.





🛍 Where can I snag a bottle (or five)?



You can shop the entire collection here on our website. We also make magical appearances at select New England events—follow us on social for updates and pop-up sightings!





🔁 Can I return or exchange a polish?



Because our polishes are handmade and cosmetic, we can’t accept returns or exchanges. But if your package shows up looking like it wrestled a cryptid, email us at boldlylacquer@gmail.com and we’ll make it right.





🌍 Do you ship internationally?



Not just yet—we’re keeping it stateside for now. But international dreams are absolutely on the horizon.





🤝 Do you do collabs or custom shades?



We’d love to hear from you! Whether you’re a fellow maker, artist, or magical human with an idea, reach out through our Contact Page or send us a message. Let’s create something spellbinding.





🧴 How should I store my polish potions?



To keep your polish in peak condition:


  • Store upright in a cool, dry, shadowy place (sunlight can zap its powers)
  • Keep lids tight—no one likes a dried-up spell
  • Avoid heat or frost; extreme temps can mess with the magic
  • If your polish thickens over time, add a few drops of nail polish thinner (not remover!)






💅 Got any enchanted nail care tips?



But of course!


  • Begin with clean nails and a base coat to set the stage
  • Apply in thin coats—it helps your color shine and last
  • Finish with a top coat to seal the spell
  • Keep your hands dry for the first hour post-mani (no potions, no dishes!)
  • Show your cuticles some love with oil or balm—happy cuticles = stronger nails
