NAIL SIZING GUIDE

FIND YOUR PERFECT FIT

A flawless set starts with the details.

From sizing to shape and length, each choice plays a role in how your nails look, feel, and wear. Take a few moments to find your perfect fit before placing your order or submitting a custom design.

Nail Sizing

Step 1 - Measure with Confidence

The right size ensures your nails sit comfortably and look seamless.

  • Soft Measuring Tape

    For the most precise result.

    Measure across the widest part of each nail and record the width in millimetres. Repeat for every finger.

  • Sticky Tape Method

    A simple at home option.

    Place tape across your nail, mark the widest points, then measure the distance between marks.

Step 2 - Choosing Your Size

Finding your best fit is simple.

Measure each nail and choose the size that appears most often across your fingers. If you’re between sizes, select the larger option and gently file for a more precise fit.

This ensures your set feels secure and looks seamless.

If you’re unsure, start with a medium length in a softer shape like almond or square. It’s the easiest place to begin and works well for everyday wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what size press-on nails to choose?

The best way to find your size is to measure each nail individually using a soft tape measure or sizing guide.

You’re looking for a size that fits comfortably from side to side without pressing into your skin.

If you’ve worn press-on nails before, you can also use your previous sizing as a reference.

What if I’m between sizes?

This happens more often than you might think.

If you’re between sizes, it’s best to choose the slightly larger size and gently file the sides down for a more precise fit.

This creates a more natural look and avoids pressure on your nail bed.

Will the nails still look natural if I file them?

Yes. Light filing is completely normal and often recommended.

Gently shaping the sides allows the press-on nail to blend more seamlessly with your natural nail, which actually improves the overall finish.

What happens if I choose the wrong size?

If a nail feels too small, it may feel tight or lift at the sides.

If it’s slightly too large, you can usually file it down to fit more comfortably.

Most people find that after their first set, choosing the right size becomes much easier.

Do I need to measure every nail?

Yes, for the best result.

Each nail can be slightly different in size, so measuring individually helps create a more accurate and comfortable fit.

It might feel like an extra step, but it makes a noticeable difference.

Can I get help with sizing?

If you’re based in Toowoomba, you can book a personalised sizing appointment.

This allows each nail to be matched precisely before application, giving you a completely custom fit.

How do I make sure my nails stay on properly?

Fit plays a big role, but so does preparation.

For the best results:

A good fit combined with proper prep helps your nails last longer and look better.

Will sizing affect how long my nails last?

Yes, it can.

A properly fitted nail is less likely to lift, shift, or come loose.

When the size is right and the prep is done well, your nails will feel more secure and wear for longer.
