Perfect Press-On Fit: Sizing Guide for Flawless Nails
Having perfectly sized press-on nails makes all the difference for a comfortable and beautiful application. Here are three ways you can measure your nails to find your ideal size:
Method One: Measure Yourself
This DIY method allows you to size your nails at home using common household items.
What you'll need:
🖤 Measuring tape (millimeter increments preferred) or a piece of regular tape and ruler
🖤 Pen and paper
Instructions:
🖤 Using a measuring tape: Gently measure the widest part of your natural nail bed (from sidewall to sidewall) for each finger. Write down the measurement in millimeters for each nail.
🖤 Using sticky tape: Place a small piece of sticky tape on your clean, dry nail bed. Press down gently to ensure good contact. Using a pen, mark the spot on the tape where each sidewall meets your nail. Carefully remove the tape and lay it flat on a piece of paper. Use a ruler to measure the distance between the two marks on the tape. This is the width of your nail bed. Repeat for each finger and record the measurements.
Tips:
🖤 Be as accurate as possible when measuring. Even a small difference can affect the fit.
🖤 If you're between sizes, it's always better to size up. Excess length can be gently filed down at home, but a nail that's too small won't adhere properly.
Method Two: Picture Perfect Sizing
Don't have measuring tools? No problem! Use your phone's camera to capture your nails next to a common object for reference.
**Please note this method only applies to South African clients. For international clients, please use method one.
What you'll need:
🖤 Phone with camera
🖤 R2 coin
Instructions:
🖤 Take two clear, well-lit photos. In the first photo, place your index finger next to a R2 coin, side-by-side, and flat on a surface. Capture all your fingers (index to pinky) in the frame.
🖤 In the second photo, capture a close-up image of your thumb next to the R2 coin.
🖤 Send both photos via direct message on our Instagram account.
Tips:
🖤 Ensure good lighting and hold the camera steady for clear pictures.
🖤 Place your nails flat against a contrasting surface for easy measurement reference.
