Well...I just don't think that's acceptable....

Wowo! What a crazy week!

 

If any of you didn’t know/hear about what is going on with Lynnderella  (basically the queen of frankenpolish)  here is a GREAT link to a blog that sums it up from a person that has been deep in it all this time crumpet.

 

So anyway, I was going to stay as far away from the bad feelings that Lynnderella is giving off as possible. In fact, I didn’t think I was going to even comment on it until I saw this at the bottom of Lynnderella’s  new line announcement on her blog

 

 

I am sorry for my crudeness but WTF is this? WTF WTF WTF

 

OK let me back up a step here…

 

Franken polish (or if you read her blog post lynnderella doesn’t want us to call her polishes that) is a handmade product. And with all handmade products there are going to be issues here and there. Bleeding glitters….curling, changing etc. This is a normal occurrence…because sometimes the glitter changes after months and months of sitting in nail  polish….HOWEVER I still think that this isn’t acceptable. If the glitter curls/flecks/separates/ looks like crap that isn’t right. It should be replaced.

 

I am sorry, but that is just bad customer service. I think our clients should be happy...happy clients are referring clients…are fun clients…are return clients.

If we don’t do everything we can to make them happy, why are we in business at all. I guess this goes along with my post from last week…..

 

Anyway…WTF….it just seems to say that it’s ok to make a sub-par product because A) you are a self-employed artist and B) you are queen of the Polish World.

 

I am sorry, but that isn’t right.

 

Contact me if you have any questions about my polishes EVER. I will work with you 100% until you are happy with your purchase.

 

My promise to you is that you will never see an excuse for sub-par products in my shop EVER. I will always work with you, my client, to deliver an exceptional product at a reasonable price.

Important Announcement Regarding Polish Replacements Because of settling/separation etc.

Hello World,

 

This is my NEW blog. I have had several in the past, but I wanted to consolidate them!

 

I want to make an important announcement that may be effecting some of my customers.

 

Back in March there was a disruption in the available nail polish bases from my main supplier and they were no longer available to supply me with the base I had been using. I tried several different supplies, and found a few of them satisfactory at the time. I have since been able to make contacts with several suppliers. I am happy to say that this suspension base shortage will never hurt my shop again for two reasons.

 

1)    I have 2 suppliers. One I use on a weekly basis and another backup supplier in case of a shortage/problem with the first.

2)    I now have the ability to make my own suspension base.

 

In the last few weeks a few of my customers have contacted me with pictures of some of the polishes that have separated/settled since they have been purchased. I want to make it clear that I DO NOT THINK THIS IS ACCEPTABLE, and I have been replacing these polishes with my new suspension base.

 

I can’t guarantee for life that my nail polish won’t settle/separate, but I also don’t think it’s acceptable for them to settle out completely in just a few months. Of course there will be slight settling over time,(we can’t fight gravity forever) but if you believe that your polishes are settling at an excessive rate please just send me a picture via email or etsy convo and I will be happy to replace them for you with my new suspension base. There was only a small 2-3 week period when this polish base was used, anything purchased as of mid-April should not be settling.   

 

ALSO- our community is full of trades and swaps. If you happened to get one of my polishes in a trade or swap that is now settling, just email me the pictures of them and your address and I will get replacements out right away.

 

When I say 100% satisfaction…I meant it!

 

The bottom line is this. I expect, like store bought polishes, for mine to last about 2 years if sealed correctly and stored at room temperature. If you don’t feel like your polish is up to par, just contact me. I promise we can work something out. Customer service is so important to me. I want everyone to be happy with my polishes!

 

If you are interested in the differences, check out this post by Crystal. She has comparison photos of my polishes, and also talks about how I replaced all of them.
