Sizing
There are many ways to size your nails including a sizing kit and manually measuring your nails.
Our most popular sizing method is the sizing kit. A sizing kit is the easiest and most accurate way to get your nail sizes.
In our sizing kits, we include a sample nail for each size in the shape and length of your choice. There is also an exclusive discount code in our sizing kits for you to use on your next order!
You will then follow the instructions provided with your order to choose the correct size for each of your nails.
*We recommend purchasing a sizing kit for each shape and length that you wish to purchase as some tips can vary in size slightly, therefore the sizes you will get with one shape/length, may differ to another.*
Alternatively, you can measure your own nails without a sizing kit.
This method can be an accurate way to get your nail sizes, however the only way to guarantee your press on nails will fit, is to use a sizing kit.
*Please note, strictly no refunds will be accepted due to incorrect manual sizing.*
You will need; a ruler or measuring tape, tape, a pen.
STEP 1- Place a piece of tape over your natural nail and press down on the edges so it is secure.
STEP 2- Mark both sides of the tape at the widest point, with a pen.
STEP 3- Remove the tape from your nail and place on a flat surface. With a ruler measure the distance between the two lines and write down in mm/cm.
Repeat this process for all 10 nails. It is important to measure the nails on both hands, as the measurements can vary.
To use these measurements when making an order, please enter them into the "size" box.
