✨ Nail Sizing ✨

When it comes to nails, the perfect size is detrimental to a long lasting set.

Here are a couple of ways for you to get accurate measurements:

Option One (Preferred Method):

  • Order a sizing kit

    Order a curated sizing kit from the artist.

This includes all tip sizes for the length/shape that you are ordering.

(Please see attached image)

  • How to:

Place the tips over your fingers to determine your nail size.

When pressed down, the tip should cover your entire nail bed, fitting side wall to side wall with no overhang onto the skin.

Write down the nail sizes for each finger and each hand.

Option Two:

  • Measure your nails in Millimeters.

    Please be aware that there is more room for error when measuring your nails versus using a sizing kit, and could lead to you ordering nails that do not fit correctly.

  • How to:

    • Lay a soft measuring tape over the widest part of your nail pulling down tight to account for any curve of your nail. 

    • **OR**

    • Stick a piece of tape across the widest part of your nail pressing down to account for any curvature.

      • Pull the tape off your nail and measure the distance between your marks of each nail (thumb, index, middle, ring and pinky) with a measuring tape or ruler in millimeters.

    • Once you have sizes in MM, compare to the standard sizing chart.

*If you are between sizes it is safer to go up one size. 

*If none of the standard sizes fit your nail measurements, select "custom" and leave your measurements at checkout in the instruction box.
