How To Find Your Size

Size Guide

Measurements are in millimeter (mm).
 

Measure your nail widths and match the measurements to our size guide for the best fit with our press-on nails. Below are two ways to measure your nail widths:

 
Method 1
  • You'll need a soft measuring tape
Place the millimeter side of the tape across the widest part of your natural nail. Hold the tape down gently and record the measurement in millimeters. Repeat for all ten fingers.

Method 2
You'll need these items:
  • Something soft, long and flexible (e.g. tape/string/paper)
  • Ruler
  • Pen
Press the measuring tool across the widest part of your natural nail. Using a pen, mark the edges of your nail on it. Carefully remove the measuring tool and lay it flat on a ruler. Measure the distance between your marks in millimeters. Repeat for all ten fingers.

Find Your Size

Once you have your measurements, refer to the sizing chart above. Choose the press-on nail size that matches the most measurements from your nails across all ten fingers.

If you're between sizes, it's always better to size up. A slightly larger nail can be gently filed down for a perfect fit, while a smaller nail will not cover your entire nail.

Example: If your measurements are (thumb) 14mm, (index) 11mm, (middle) 11mm, (ring) 11mm, (pinky) 9mm, we recommend taking size M.

  • Sticky tabs (lasts up to 10 days): Find the sizes that fit your natural nails. Apply the tab to your nail, smooth it out firmly before peeling off the film.

  • Nail glue (lasts up to 21 days): Apply a small drop of glue on the back of the press-on nail and another small drop on your natural nail.

Tip: For maximum bond, we recommend applying your press-on nails before bed. This minimizes contact with water while you sleep, allowing the adhesive to set fully.

How To Care For Your Nails

  • Minimize exposure to water, oils (hand cream) or alcohol (sanitizer), especially within the first few hours after application.
  • Avoid using your press-on nails as tools, such as for opening cans or boxes, as this can damage them.
  • Avoid activities that put excessive pressure on your press-on nails, such as using your nails to scrape or pick at things.
  • Wash your hair gently to avoid snagging it on your press-on nails. Using a hair scalp brush can also be helpful.
  • Wear gloves when washing dishes or performing household chores. Limit exposure to harsh chemicals as they can weaken the adhesive and damage the press-on nails.
  • When engaging in activities that could potentially damage your press-on nails, exercise caution.
  • If your press-on nail begins to feel loose, replace the adhesive immediately to avoid potential damage or loss.
  • Do not use UV gel glue for press-on nails, as uncured gel can lead to contact dermatitis if it touches your skin or nails.
