A method of manufacturing a nail tip sizing tool (10) is performed by providing a handle (11) with at least one slot (21), a set of artificial nail tips (31 40) of different widths and lengths with each nail tip having a cuticle end (CE), and a tip end (TE). The tip ends (TE) of selected ones of the nail tips (31-40) are cut to establish a substantially uniform nail tip length as measured between the cuticle end (CE), and the cut tip end (TE). The cut tip ends are then inserted equal distances into one slot (21) of the handle (11) such that the cuticle ends of the nail tips (31-40) are substantially aligned, and the nail tips (31-40) are in adjacent side-by-side relationship in progressively nail tip width size. Since the nail tip sizing tool (10) has nail tips (31-40) identical to the nail tips stored in "tip boxes" of the operator, once sizing is performed, the selected artificial nail tip is identical to the sized artificial nail tip sizing tool (10). This assures decreased downtime as well as corresponding aesthetics because of the identity between the nail tips used for sizing via the nail sizing tool (10), and the identical nail tips selected from the operator's "tip box".
