Toe Top Tips
Toenails are often forgotten, being at the far end of our bodies, but having beautiful acrylic toenails is right on trend now.
Our toenails are not always in the best state – we look after our fingernails because they are always on show, but during the colder months, at least, our toenails are tucked away as we focus more on having warm feet than gorgeous nails. They only come out with the sun and have often suffered over the winter. Acrylic nails can hide any unsightly areas, and having smooth, flawless toenails makes our entire foot look better. Sometimes it can be hard to get the angle right in order to achieve an awesome polish finish, but with beginner acrylic nail sets, you can create the most complex design, coloring your fake nails before applying them. Acrylic nails are easy to trim and quick to apply, so within minutes, your feet will go from being an embarrassment to you being proud to show off your cute painted nails.
What Are Acrylic Toenails?
Acrylic toenails are fake nails that you can apply over your toenails for a gorgeous pedicure.
However, there are a couple of points to bear in mind:
- Acrylic toenails may feel a little strange until you’re used to them. Like buying and wearing in new shoes, though, any discomfort won’t last long.
- You’ll need to look after acrylics. Going in and out of shoes, especially if those shoes are high heels, they may chip more than you’d expect from fingernails.
- Top tip: If you’re going to have your feet on display, why not finish off your acrylic toenails with a classy modern toe ring?
1) Kiss Products Acrylic Toenails
What Makes It Great
Kiss is synonymous with great quality nail products and these appear to be no different. Complete with nail glue, this set of 96 acrylic nails is comfortably short, although can easily be trimmed shorter if you wish. I applied polish before adhering them to my nails as I find that easier, and it worked really well – no hassle whatsoever. They stayed firmly stuck to my nails, despite wearing a variety of footwear, for nearly two weeks.
Where It Could Be Improved
I did find that, unlike fingernails, the more glue the better. I’m not sure why it should be that way, but it certainly made a difference in adhesion.

2) Sethexy Acrylic Toenails
What Makes It Great
Unlike acrylic fingernails, many sets of toenails come ready polished. This is one such set. Luckily the color decoration is simply stunning but is far too glamorous to be worn just for the beach, or pool. These are nails that need open-toed stilettos and a party to attend. Unfortunately, I had no such event in my diary, however, I did show them off at every opportunity. Really easy to shape and apply, with great stickability, these hard-wearing nails stayed in place for a good two weeks.
Where It Could Be Improved
On opening the carton, these had a strong nail polish odor. This faded pretty rapidly though and wasn’t a long-lasting issue

Acrylic Toenails FAQ
How to do acrylic toenails?
Although it’s always best to see a professional nail tech, you can do acrylic toenails at home. The first thing you need to do is purchase one of our top reviewed acrylic toenails and some good nail glue. The process is very similar to applying fingernail acrylics – clean your toenails, buff them to get rid of any bumps, wipe them with a bit of nail polish remover to remove any oils and improve adhesion, apply a few drops of nail glue, and stick the appropriate size toenail acrylic on top of your toenail – and you’re done!
How long do acrylic toenails last?
If you go to a professional nail salon, your acrylic toenails could last up to 2 weeks before you need to fill them in. With appropriate care, they could last up to 4 weeks. If you opt for DIY toenail acrylics using ready-made fake toenails, with proper application, you could probably make them last up to 2 weeks.
