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.
We’ve partnered exclusively with Mr Gift, and I can’t wait for you to try them — I know you’ll love them as much as I do 💕
