Sizing
How do I know what nail sizes to order?
If you have never ordered a set of press on nails before, you probably don't know your nail size!
Below are the two methods I currently have for making sure you get nails that fit. Please be aware that there is room for error when measuring your nails and could lead to you ordering nails that do not fit correctly.
I am working on building out sizing kits so you cna try my nail tips on to get the perfect size! But in the meantime if you send photos and are between sizes, I will often size up to be sure the nails fit you and you can file down the sides to get a perfect fit.
Option One: Coin Method
The coin method is the quickest way to get your nail sizes. You will need to take 2 photos of each hand - one with 4 fingers and one of your thumb flat on a neutral background with a quarter visible beside your fingers.
Please fill out this form to upload your photos for me: https://forms.gle/iTYRfxNjtbfSDoBi7
When you get your set - the nail sizes I used will be listed on the back of your card.
Option Two: Measure Nails in Millimeters
Step 1
Using a soft measuring tape, place it over the widest part of your nail pulling down tight to account for any curve of your nail - write down the length from side to side in mm for each finger.
Please mark in order:
Right Hand: (thumb, index, middle, ring and pinky)
Left Hand: (thumb, index, middle, ring and pinky)
OR
Using a piece of tape across the widest part of your nail, press down to account for any curve, and mark each side of your nail.
Remove the tape and measure the distance between your marks of each nail with a measuring tape or ruler in millimeters.
Please mark in order:
Right Hand: (thumb, index, middle, ring and pinky)
Left Hand: (thumb, index, middle, ring and pinky)
*If you are between sizes it is safer to go up one size so you are able to file the sides down for a perfect fit.
*If none of the standard sizes fit your nail measurements, select "custom" and leave your measurements at checkout in the instruction box.
ex: (Thumb, Index, Middle, Ring, Pinky) - Right Hand: 16mm, 12mm, 15mm, 12mm, 10mm. Left Hand: 16mm, 12mm, 15mm, 12mm, 10mm.
