How to Measure Your Nails for the Perfect Press-On Fit

Finding the perfect fit for your press-on nails ensures a comfortable and natural look. Measuring your nails properly helps you choose the right size, preventing gaps, discomfort, or unnatural edges. Here’s a step-by-step guide to measuring your nails accurately.

Why Measuring Matters

Press-on nails come in different shapes and sizes, and selecting the right fit will ensure they look seamless and last longer. If your nails are too small, they may pop off easily; if they are too big, they can overlap onto your skin, making them uncomfortable.

Step-by-Step Guide to Measuring Your Nails

Method 1: Using a Soft Measuring Tape

• Place a flexible measuring tape horizontally across the widest part of your natural nail (usually near the cuticle).
• Record the measurement in millimeters (mm).
• Repeat for all 10 fingers, as each nail can have a slightly different size.
• Compare your measurements to the brand’s nail size chart to find your best match.

Method 2: Using a Ruler & Tape Method

• Cut a small piece of transparent tape and place it across the widest part of your nail.
• Use a fine-tip pen to mark the edges where your nail starts and ends.
• Remove the tape and place it on a ruler, measuring the distance in millimeters.
• Compare your measurement with the nail size guide.

Additional Tips for Perfect Sizing( important! )

• If you are between sizes, opt for the larger size and file the sides down for a better fit!
• Your dominant hand’s nails may be slightly larger, so measure both hands separately.
• Double-check measurements before placing an order to avoid incorrect sizing.

By following these methods, you’ll ensure a snug and natural-looking fit for your press-on nails. Proper measurement leads to a flawless manicure that lasts longer and feels comfortable! Happy measuring!
