Sizing Guide

Find Your Perfect Fit

A well-fitting press-on should cover your natural nail from sidewall to sidewall without pressing into the skin. Measure every nail before ordering—nail widths can differ between hands.

Before You Measure

  • Measure in millimetres (mm).
  • Measure the widest part of each nail, from sidewall to sidewall.
  • Follow the natural curve of your nail rather than measuring straight across the top.
  • If you fall between two sizes, choose the larger size. 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. Guide it over the widest part of the nail, following the natural curve closely.
  3. Record the width 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 over the widest part of your nail. Keep it snug against the curve, then mark where each sidewall meets the paper.

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

Use your measurements to find the closest standard size below.

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. The chart is a general sizing guide; small variations may occur between designs.

Personalised Sizing

If one standard size does not match all five nails, choose personalised sizing and enter the width of each nail from thumb to pinky. Measure both hands, as they may be slightly different.

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

Choose a Shape for Your Nail Curvature

Width is only one part of a comfortable fit. The curve of the press-on should also sit naturally over your nail bed.

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

This is a general guide—curvature can vary between individual designs. Always check the product's Fit Notes before ordering.
