Refund policy
Melon Nails offers a 10-day money-back guarantee on eligible products. As the majority of our products are handmade, most items are not eligible for returns or refunds unless visibly and physically broken upon arrival due to shipment damage. We strongly recommend recording your full unboxing experience at the time of delivery to support any damage claims.
