Size Guide

Press-on nails fit best when they match the width of your natural nail. There are three ways to get your size: the sizing kit (the surest fit, since you try on the real thing), measuring at home for a Custom size with a width for each individual nail, or a standard size (XS–L) from the chart if one is close.

1. The sizing kit (best fit)

For a guaranteed fit, the sizing kit is a full run of clear sizing nails, one in each available size, made in the same shape and length as my sets, so you try on the real thing, not a paper chart. Pick your shape and length, try them on, and note the number that fits each nail. When you order, choose the Custom size and enter those numbers: your kit numbers go straight into the Custom size.

The kit is $10.00, and that $10.00 is credited back on a future set’s invoice, so the kit is effectively free once you order. Just use the same email address for both orders, so the credit is matched to you. Buying the kit doesn’t reserve a made-to-order slot; slots open by availability, first come, first served.

2. Measure at home (no kit? tape and a ruler work)

1. Lay a strip of clear tape (or paper) across the widest part of your nail bed and press it down, side to side, not over the curve.
2. Mark where the nail meets the skin on each side, peel the tape off, lay it flat against a ruler, and read the width in millimeters (mm).
3. Measure all ten nails, bare (no polish or press-ons; they throw the width off), and do both hands; they differ slightly. In between sizes? Round up (13.5 mm → 14 mm).
4. Match each nail to the closest width in the chart below, or enter your exact widths with the Custom size.

3. Pick from the size chart (nail widths in mm)

Widths are a guide and may vary slightly by design. When you’re between sizes, size up, or use Custom for the most precise fit.
