How to Choose the Right Press-On Nail Size for a Perfect Fit

Choosing the right press-on nail size is the key to achieving a natural, comfortable, and long-lasting manicure. If the nail is too big, it will lift; if it’s too small, it won’t adhere properly. Here’s how to measure your nails correctly and find your best fit.

Why Nail Size Matters

Correct sizing ensures:

Natural and seamless appearance

Comfortable daily wear

Reduced lifting and popping-off

Longer-lasting adhesion

Better protection for natural nails

A perfectly fitted press-on nail should cover your natural nail from sidewall to sidewall without touching the skin.

How to Measure Your Nails at Home

Method 1: Measuring Tape

Place a soft measuring tape across the widest part of your nail.

Record the width in millimeters.

Repeat for all 10 fingers.

Method 2: Tape + Ruler

Put a piece of tape across your nail.

Mark the edges with a pen.

Peel off and measure the distance with a ruler in mm.

Tip: Measure the widest point of the nail for accuracy.
