sizing & shape
sizing your nails
you’re purchasing your perfect set…it should definitely fit you.
how to measure your nailbeds for your set:
-
finding your nail measurements
- using a soft/flexible measuring tape: lay the measuring tape across the widest part of your nail, making sure the tape is accounting for the curve of your nail. write down the width of each nail in millimeters.
- no flexible measuring tape on hand: lay a piece of tape across the widest part of your nail and press down to account for the natural curve. mark the edges of the widest part on the tape. measure the distance between each mark in millimeters using measuring tape or a ruler. repeat this step for each nail.
-
with the recorded width of your nails in millimeters, use the charts below to determine your individual nail sizes with the shape + length you’d like and select the corresponding size kit (xs, s, m, l, xl).

reminders:
-
if you are in between sizes, it is best to size up and file the nail down to fit your nailbed.
-
if your measurements do not fit any standard sizes, select “custom” when adding nail sets to your cart, leaving your measurements in the instruction box. these measurements will look like this: (t:2 , i: 4.5, m:4, r:6, p: 8) , each letter representing thumb, index, middle, etc.
