Sizing Guide
Press-On Nail Sizing Guide
A comfortable, natural-looking fit starts with accurate measurements. Measure every nail before ordering, because the same finger can differ slightly between your left and right hand.
How to Measure Your Nails
- Place a soft measuring tape or a narrow strip of paper across the widest curved part of your natural nail.
- Measure from one sidewall to the other, following the curve of the nail rather than measuring straight across the top.
- If you use paper, mark both sidewalls and measure the distance between the marks with a ruler.
- Record the width of all ten nails in millimetres.
Size Reference
| Set Size | Thumb | Index | Middle | Ring | Little |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 14 mm | 10 mm | 11 mm | 10 mm | 8 mm |
| S | 15 mm | 11 mm | 12 mm | 11 mm | 9 mm |
| M | 16 mm | 12 mm | 13 mm | 12 mm | 10 mm |
| L | 17 mm | 13 mm | 14 mm | 13 mm | 11 mm |
Measurements are approximate. Handmade sets and natural nail curves can vary slightly.
Choosing Between Sizes
Select the set that covers all five nails without pressing into the skin or leaving the sidewalls exposed. If your measurements fall between two sizes, choose the larger set and gently file the side edges for a custom fit. Do not force a nail that feels tight or pinches the sidewalls.
Fit Check Before Application
- Lay out all ten press-ons before using adhesive.
- Each press-on should sit from sidewall to sidewall without touching skin.
- The cuticle edge should follow your natural cuticle line.
- File only a small amount at a time and check the fit frequently.
