Nail Sizing

I. How to measure your hands for your press on nails :

What you will need to do this is a soft tape measure; or a ruler, a marker, and some clear tape.

There are three different ways to get your fingernail size numbers :

Method 1 :

Place the soft tape measure across the widest part of each finger on your natural nail. Then read the millimeters from one side to the other. Look at the chart above to find the corresponding number (0-9; now carrying sizes 10 and 11 not pictured above). Write down the number for each finger on both hands. It is important to do both hands because sometimes we can have a. Finger that is different from one hand to the other. Also, you might not have a standard size fingernail and will need a custom set made.

Method 2 :

If you don’t have a soft tape measure then :

Attach a piece of clear tape to your nail and press firmly. Then with your marker, draw a line on either side of your nail horizontally on the widest part of your natural nail. 

Carefully remove the tape from your finger and place it on a smooth surface.

Then, with a ruler, measure the line for the number of millimeters. After that follow the rest of the steps above until you have all the sizes for both hands.

Method 3 :

Buy a press on nail sizing kit. They are available online.

II. How to know what size press on nails to buy :

After you have all the numbers  for each finger, correlate the measurement with the size number in the chart below to see if you are a standard size. 

Standard Sizes :

L -0-4-3-5-7

M -1-6-4-5-7

S - 2-6-4-5-8

XS - 3-6-5-7-9

CHART -

If your fingernail is 18 - 17 mmm across at its' widest, then that fingernail is a size 0. The system is from 0-11 with 0 being the largest and 11 being the smallest. So, below is the mm to size number:

18-17 mm = size 0

16 mm = size 0

15 mm  = size 1

14 mm = size 2

13 mm=size 3 

12 mm = size 4

11 mm = size 5

12 mm = size 6

10 mm = size 7

9 mm = size 8

8 mm = size 9
