Chillhouse’s Tips Off lands on Refinery29’s Beautycon Culture Creators list

Chillhouse’s press-on remover Tips Off was named one of Refinery29’s Beautycon Culture Creators after Beautycon University in Los Angeles, where founder Cyndi Ramirez-Fulton served as Dean of Business. The recognition spotlights the brand’s growing role in press-on nail care and its position among Refinery29’s 10 standout products from the event.

Why it matters: - Refinery29’s recognition puts Chillhouse’s Tips Off in a broader beauty conversation beyond nail removal. - The honor signals that press-on care products are gaining status as core manicure essentials, not just add-ons. - The mention also gives Chillhouse more visibility as it expands its nail and self-care business.

What happened: - Refinery29 named Chillhouse Tips Off one of its Beautycon Culture Creators for 2026. - The list included 10 products editors were still talking about after Beautycon. - Beautycon University took place at Rolling Greens DTLA in Los Angeles on September 19, 2026. - Chillhouse founder and CEO Cyndi Ramirez-Fulton served as Dean of Business at the event. - Keke Palmer and makeup artist Sir John also taught at Beautycon University.

The details: - Tips Off is designed to go between the natural nail and a Chill Tip to break down glue without a soak. - The formula includes safflower, meadowfoam seed and jojoba seed oils. - Refinery29 said Chillhouse was “an especially fitting Culture Creator.” - Refinery29 credited Chillhouse with helping press-ons graduate from emergency backup to a manicure in their own right. - Refinery29 also said Tips Off is among Chillhouse’s best sellers. - Cyndi Ramirez-Fulton said, “Taking press-ons off is a ritual too, and it deserves the same care as putting them on.” - Ramirez-Fulton said Tips Off was made so the brand’s community does not have to choose between a bold manicure and healthy nails underneath. - Ramirez-Fulton also called the Refinery29 honor “extra credit” after serving as Dean of Business. - Tips Off costs $12 and is sold at Chillhouse and Revolve. - Chillhouse pairs Tips Off with Tips On nail glue in the Press On Pro bundle.

Between the lines: - The award fits Chillhouse’s positioning as a press-on-first brand, not just a beauty retailer. - Beautycon University gave the brand a live platform tied directly to its business and product story. - Refinery29’s framing suggests press-on accessories are becoming part of the prestige conversation around nails.

What's next: - Chillhouse will keep selling Tips Off through its own site and retail partners. - The brand is likely to keep promoting the full press-on routine through bundled products and nail care offerings. - Chillhouse continues to market its broader line of Chill Tips press-on nails, Forever Wear polish and nail care through its flagship studio, online and retail channels.

The bottom line: - Chillhouse turned a practical remover into a recognized beauty product, and Refinery29 just gave that positioning a public boost.
