Sizing Guide

Find Your Perfect Fit

The right fit makes all the difference. Your press-ons should cover your natural nail from sidewall to sidewall, without pressing into the surrounding skin.

Take a few minutes to measure every nail on both hands—matching fingers can sometimes be slightly different.

Before You Measure

For the most accurate fit:

  • Measure each nail in millimetres (mm).
  • Measure from sidewall to sidewall at the widest part of your nail.
  • Follow the natural curve of your nail rather than measuring straight across the top.
  • If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one. You can gently file the sides for a more precise fit.

Method 1: Flexible Measuring Tape

  1. Place the tape at one sidewall of your nail.
  2. Gently guide it over the widest part, following the natural curve of your nail.
  3. Record the measurement in millimetres.

Method 2: Paper Strip

Step 1 — Mark the width

Marking both sidewalls at the widest part of a thumbnail on a paper strip

Wrap a narrow strip of paper snugly over the widest part of your nail, following its natural curve. Mark the paper where it meets each sidewall.

Step 2 — Measure between the marks

Measuring the distance between two marks on a paper strip in millimetres

Lay the paper flat against a ruler and measure the distance between the two marks in millimetres.

Standard Size Guide

Once you have your measurements, compare them with the guide below to find your closest standard size.

Size Thumb Index Middle Ring Pinky
S 15 11 12 11 8
M 16 12 13 12 9
L 17 13 14 13 10

All measurements are in millimetres. Please use this chart as a general guide, as the fit can feel slightly different between nail shapes and designs.

If one or more of your nails fall between sizes, choose the larger size for a little extra room to refine the fit.

A Fit Made More Personal

Your 10 nails don’t always fit neatly into one standard S, M or L — and matching fingers on your left and right hands can be different too.

With Personalised Sizing, you can choose the width of each of your 10 nails individually. We’ll assemble your set using the sizes you select.

Example:
Left hand: 16, 12, 13, 12, 9 mm
Right hand: 16, 12, 13, 11, 9 mm

Personalised Sizing uses our existing nail sizes to create your chosen width combination. It does not mean each press-on is individually moulded to the curvature of your natural nail.

Available on selected Core designs at no extra cost.

Finding a Shape That Feels Right

Width is an important part of the fit, but the natural curve of your nail bed matters too.

  • Flatter nail beds: Oval, Almond and Square styles generally have a gentler curve and may sit more naturally.
  • More curved nail beds: Coffin and Stiletto styles generally have a more pronounced C-curve and may offer a closer fit.

Every design can feel a little different, so please check the Fit Notes on the product page before ordering.
