How to Measure Your Nails

How to measure nail width for press on nails sizing
  1. Use transparent tape or a paper strip
  2. Measure the widest part of each nail (sidewall to sidewall)
  3. Record measurements in mm
  4. Match with the size chart

How to Choose the Right Size

  • Always choose a size that fits sidewall to sidewall
  • Avoid nails that are too wide (causes lifting)
  • Avoid nails that are too tight (causes pressure and discomfort)
  • Nails should sit just above the cuticle line
  • If between sizes, choose the smaller one
  • You can lightly file sides for a custom fit
  • Always size each hand separately

💡 Pro Tip: A slightly smaller nail always lasts longer than a larger one.
