Shipping, Returns and Support
We ship beauty tools to US addresses only, and standard shipping is free. Most orders arrive within 6 to 32 business days, and you can track your order once it ships.
Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery if the item is new, unused and in its original packaging, with no restocking fee.

Are UV nail lamps safe?
UV and LED nail lamps are considered low risk when used as directed, but they do emit UVA. Harvard Health recommends protecting your hands with sunscreen or fingerless gloves during curing, and following the curing times on your gel products.
What's the difference between UV and LED lamps?
LED lamps cure many gels faster and their bulbs last longer, while older UV lamps cure a wider range of gels more slowly. Many modern lamps combine UV and LED so they work with most gel polishes. Check your gel's instructions for compatibility.
Do I need a nail drill?
A nail drill is optional, but it speeds up shaping, smoothing ridges, prepping cuticles and removing gel or acrylic. Beginners should start on a low speed, keep the bit moving and practise on the free edge before working near the cuticle.
How do I remove gel polish safely?
Gently file away the shiny top coat, then soak the nails in remover wraps or clips until the gel lifts, and push it off softly. Avoid peeling or picking gel, which can strip layers from the natural nail and leave it thin and weak.
Are press-on nails reusable?
Many press-on nails can be reused if you apply them with adhesive tabs or remove glued nails gently by soaking. Clean off old adhesive, store them in their case, and choose sizes carefully so they fit without pressing on the skin.
How should I clean nail tools?
Wash metal tools with soap and warm water, then disinfect them with rubbing alcohol and let them dry before storing. Replace disposable files and buffers regularly, and don't share clippers or files to avoid spreading infections.
What causes gel allergy?
Uncured or partly cured gel that touches the skin can cause sensitivity over time. Keep gel off your cuticles and skin, cure each layer fully under a compatible lamp, and stop using a product if your skin becomes red, itchy or swollen.
Do lamps and drills work with US outlets?
Choose US-plug or USB-powered nail lamps and drills for American outlets. Some listings also offer EU, UK or AU plugs, and adapters don't change voltage, so those versions aren't designed for US use.
What nail tools do beginners need?
Start with a stainless steel manicure set, a glass or fine-grit nail file, a buffer and a cuticle pusher. Add a UV/LED lamp and gel polish once you're comfortable, or try press-on nails and stickers for an easy, no-lamp option.
How often should I replace nail files?
Replace emery boards and foam buffers once they feel smooth or worn, usually after a few months of regular use. Glass and metal files last much longer if you clean them after each use.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders arrive within 6 to 32 business days of being placed. That covers 1 to 2 business days of handling and 5 to 30 business days in transit. Standard shipping is free on every order, and we currently ship to US addresses only.
Can I return nail products?
Unopened items can be returned within 30 days of delivery in their original packaging. Opened polishes and nail products may not be returnable for hygiene reasons. Email support@globalswanky.com with your order number to start a return, and there's no restocking fee.
Choosing nail tools and equipment comes down to three checks: the manicure style you want, safe and easy-clean tools, and the right power for your home. A stainless steel manicure set and a UV/LED lamp make an easy start.
