Press-On Nail Size Guide
Choosing the right size for your natural nails helps your press-ons look more seamless and natural. Start by measuring the width of your natural nails, then choose the size that fits neatly from side to side.
How to choose
Measure the nail width from side to side in millimeters.
Choose the press-on nail size closest to your measured width.
A slightly larger size is easier to file and adjust if needed.
Start by measuring your natural nail width.
Press-on nail sizes are chosen based on the width of the widest part of your natural nail. Use a soft measuring tape, ruler, paper, or tape, and measure along the curve of your nail.
Choose a natural-looking size that follows your nail.
Press-ons look more natural when the size is close to your natural nail width. A size that is too small may lift at the sides, while a size that is too large may press against the skin. Choose a size that follows the curve of your natural nail and fits neatly from side to side.

Tips for a Natural Look
When the edges of the press-on match the width of your natural nail, the finished look appears more seamless. If the sides press against the skin, lightly file the edges before application.
When You Are Between Sizes
We recommend choosing a slightly larger size rather than one that is too small. You can file the sides as needed for a better fit on your natural nail.
