What makes Top Tip Nails different from other press-on nails?
Top Tip Nails are designed to look and feel like a professional salon manicure — without the time, cost, or damage. Our nails are carefully shaped to be:
Strong and durable at the tip (so they last)
Thin and flexible at the cuticle (for a seamless, comfortable fit)
Finished with a high-shine, salon-style gloss, each set includes 32 nails in 16 sizes, giving you plenty of options to find your perfect fit. They’re designed for real life —whether you’re working, parenting, socialising, or simply want to feel polished with minimal effort.
Who can wear press-on nails?
Everyone!
Press-on nails are an excellent solution for:
Nail biters who want to kick the habit
Busy mums
Hospitality, health care professionals and anyone who can’t have long nails for work
Anyone who wants to elevate their nail aesthetic without the time and cost of the salon.
We recommend selecting the size that best suits your lifestyle – nail biters and busy hands LOVE out shorter styles!
I have wide/narrow nail beds — will Top Tip Nails fit me?
Yes! Each Top Tip Nails set includes 16 different nail sizes, which means there’s a great fit for most nail shapes and widths.
If a nail feels slightly wide or long, simply:
Choose the closest size up
Lightly file or trim it to customise the fit
Press-on nails are very forgiving — a little filing goes a long way!
What’s included in each Top Tip Nails set?
Every Top Tip Nails set comes with everything you need for a flawless at-home manicure:
32 press-on nails (16 sizes)
Quality nail glue (2g tube)
Double-sided adhesive glue tabs
Nail file
Alcohol wipe
Wooden cuticle stick
You don’t need to buy anything extra to get started — just open the box and you’re ready to go.
How long do Top Tip Nails last?
How long your nails last depends on how you apply them:
With nail glue: up to 10–14 days
With adhesive tabs: perfect for weekends, events, or short-term wear
They’re designed to stay put through everyday life — typing, chores, work, and socialising — without chipping like polish.
Are Top Tip Nails reusable?
Yes! Top Tip Nails are reusable.
When applied with glue, they can usually be reused 1–2 times (sometimes more, depending on how much glue has built up on them)
When applied with adhesive tabs, they can be reused multiple times
To reuse them, gently remove any dried glue from the back of the nail using the included file or cuticle stick.
How do I remove Top Tip Nails safely?
Removal is gentle and non-damaging when done correctly.
If you used adhesive tabs:
Gently slide the flat side of the cuticle stick under the nail
If needed, soak hands in warm soapy water until the nail loosens
If you used nail glue:
Soak hands in warm soapy water for 10–15 minutes
Gently work the cuticle stick under the sides until the nail pops off
Never force removal — patience protects your natural nails.
For super quick removal, you can soak your hands in a bowl of 100% acetone. PLEASE NOTE: Your press-ons will not be reusable after using acetone.
Can I cut or file Top Tip Nails?
Absolutely! Top Tip Nails are fully customisable.
You can:
Trim them shorter
File them into your preferred shape
Smooth edges with the included file
This makes them perfect if you prefer a more natural or practical length.
Can I paint my Top Tip Nails?
Yes! If you want to colour match your nails for a special occasion, any of our nude shades paint up beautifully with high quality nail polish for a customised look.
Will Top Tip Nails damage my natural nails?
No — when applied and removed correctly, Top Tip Nails are non-damaging.
They’re a great option for:
Nail biters
Weak or brittle nails
Anyone wanting to give their natural nails a break from salons
Many customers find their natural nails actually grow stronger while wearing Top Tip Nails press-ons.
Can I shower, wash dishes, or swim with Top Tip Nails?
Yes — once your nails are fully set.
We recommend:
Avoiding water for 2 hours after application
After that, you can shower, wash dishes, and live life as normal
For longest wear, gloves are always a good idea for heavy cleaning.
What happens as my nails grow out?
As your natural nails grow, you may notice lifting near the cuticle. This is normal.
At that point, simply:
Remove the nails gently
Reapply the same set or try a new style

Our story...
High quality press-on nails that look like you've just stepped out of the salon, but are easy to apply, long-lasting, and fit like a glove for every day wear.
Here’s how it all began…
“That will be $200 all up, please,” said the dental receptionist with a perky smile.
I’d just left the dentist after having a tooth glued back together.
The night before, I was relaxing in bed, reading, mindlessly biting my thumbnail (as I’d done my whole life), when suddenly the entire front of my tooth fell off. Just like that.
The next day, the dentist told me nail biting is one of the most common causes of chipped teeth.
That was the final straw.
I couldn’t afford $200 every time I chipped a tooth — and I definitely didn’t want chipped teeth. Something had to change.
I’d tried everything: gloves while reading, horrible anti-bite polish that made everything taste awful… nothing worked.
The next day, I spotted some press-on nails on sale at the supermarket. Worth a try, I thought — even though my nail beds were very short.
My daughter helped me apply them, and after watching a few tutorials, I realised the secret was all in the prep. Buffing, cleaning with alcohol, choosing the right size, shaping them to suit my lifestyle (I spend a lot of time gardening).
I was pleasantly surprised.
One popped off after a few days — but reattaching it took seconds. Faster than painting nails and waiting for them to dry!
I was hooked.
I tried brand after brand, style after style… but the quality was inconsistent. Poor fit, colour wearing off, tips not lasting.
So I decided to create what I couldn’t find.
After searching far beyond Australia, I found a manufacturer producing soft gel nails that were thin at the cuticle for a seamless fit, and thicker at the tip for strength and long wear — perfect for real life.
They were too good not to share.
And that’s how Top Tip Nails was born.
I can’t wait for you to try them — I know you’ll love them as much as I do 💕
