What are switch Nails top coats and what are they used for? When should you use them? In this guide we break down everything related to our Top coats!
Step 1
Make sure your natural nails or press-ons are clean and free from dust and oils before you begin.
Step 2
Start from the back third of the nail and slightly push the brush towards the cuticles.
Step 3
Pull the brush along the right side of the nail focusing on the right cuticle line.
Step 4
Repeat on the left side of the nail.
Step 5
Start from the back third of the nail again, push the brush towards the cuticle and pull it straight towards the tip.
Step 6
Seal the free edge by doing 2-3 strokes along the tip and almost go a little bit underneath the nail to really cap it.
Step 7
Let it dry for a couple of minutes and you’re ready to go!
Protect. Refresh. Extend.
Adding a top coat to your press-on nails is one of the easiest ways to protect your design and extend the life of your set. Whether you are wearing a detailed design or a solid color, a protective layer helps minimize everyday wear and keeps your nails looking fresh for longer.

Your hands are constantly in motion. Just like natural nails, press-ons are exposed to friction, minor scratches, discoloration, and daily wear. By applying a protective top coat, any surface wear affects the clear layer first, not the design underneath.
A top coat can also be used to refresh a previously worn set, restoring shine and giving your nails a renewed, glossy finish.
This depends entirely on your lifestyle and how much wear your nails are exposed to. For some, one application per wear is enough. Others may prefer to reapply during the week for extra protection.
The most important step is sealing the tip of the nail. This prevents lifting and helps protect the edges from friction. For detailed application guidance, please refer to the instructions on the packaging or visit the product page on our website.
All removers, whether acetone-based or acetone-free, are designed to dissolve polish. This means they should always be used sparingly to protect the structure of your press-ons.
If you choose to use a remover, we recommend testing it on a spare size first to ensure compatibility. Even gentler removers should be used carefully, as their purpose is to break down product layers.
We are currently developing a Switch Nails remover specifically formulated to be more compatible with press-ons. Until then, we advise minimal use and refreshing with a new layer of top coat instead whenever possible.
Our top coats were developed in response to demand for durable, vegan, cruelty-free, and eco-conscious options that are fully compatible with our press-on nails.
There is no completely permanent solution that eliminates all forms of wear, whether a manicure is gel, acrylic, or press-on nails. Longevity ultimately depends on your daily routine and how you use your hands.
We compare the durability, thickness, and flexibility of our press-ons to a gel manicure on natural nails. Some customers feel no need for additional protection, while others prefer using a top coat preventatively or to refresh their look.
Switch Nails Top Coats are formulated to work perfectly with our press-on nails. Everything from brush applicator to the drying-time is formulated by us. you can choose between a high gloss finish, a matte finish and a Shimmer finish. Our top coats are of course also safe to use on your natural nails!
