Candyclaws.com.au Pricing

Candyclaws.com.au positions itself as a cost-effective alternative to traditional salon services, aiming to provide “salon-quality” results without the salon price tag. The pricing structure is straightforward, focusing on individual sets of press-on nails, with options to purchase additional accessories.

Cost of Press-On Nails

Based on the homepage text, the core product, a set of Candyclaws press-on nails, is typically priced at:

• Regular Price: AUD $34.99 per set.
  • This is the price shown for individual product listings like “bare minimum (short oval),” “bella (short oval),” “butterscotch (short oval),” and “creamy cobbler (short oval).”
• Sale Price: AUD $34.99 per set.
  • Interestingly, the “Sale price” is also listed at AUD $34.99, which might suggest this is a standard price point or a current promotion that aligns with their regular pricing strategy.

Each pack reportedly includes:

• 24-30 nails (with 12-15 size options)
• Nail glue tube (enough for 2-3 wears)
• 1x set of adhesive tabs
• Nail file
• Cuticle stick
• Alcohol wipe

Additional Purchases and Accessories

The website also highlights complementary products that customers often add to their orders, which would increase the overall cost:

• Magic Remover Serum: Recommended for “fast, non-soak removal.” This would be an extra purchase for convenient removal.
• Brush-on Glue: Customers “love to add our brush-on glue to their order for an even easier application process.” This suggests that while glue is included, an upgraded application method comes at an additional cost.
• Adhesive Tabs 10 Pack: For those who wish to reuse their Candyclaws multiple times (up to 10 wears with tabs), purchasing a separate 10-pack of adhesive tabs is recommended.

Value Proposition Comparison

Candyclaws.com.au directly compares itself to “THE SALON,” “OTHER PRESS-ONS,” and “OTHER AT-HOME NAIL KITS.”

• Vs. The Salon: They claim to be “budget-friendly” and offer a “salon-done look” without the recurring high costs and time commitment of salon visits. A typical salon acrylic or SNS fill can easily cost AUD $50-$80+ every few weeks in Australia. At AUD $34.99 per set, even with reusability, Candyclaws aims to be significantly cheaper over time.
• Vs. Other Press-Ons: They state their nails are “100% soft acrylic” versus “ABS plastic” used by most competitors, suggesting a higher quality material justifies their price point. They also emphasize their “custom-made moulds” for stronger press-ons and a larger range of sizes (12-15 options vs. potentially fewer in other brands).
• Vs. Other At-Home Nail Kits: They highlight the ease and speed (“apply in 10 minutes from home”) and the longevity (“last up to 2 weeks & are reusable”), positioning themselves as a superior, less fiddly alternative to DIY kits.

From a purely financial perspective, if one disregards the ethical implications, Candyclaws presents a compelling case for saving money compared to frequent salon visits. However, for a Muslim consumer, the “value” of a product is not solely financial but also spiritual and ethical. The ability to save money on nails becomes irrelevant if the product invalidates core religious obligations. Candyclaws.com.au Alternatives
