How to size your press ons to make sure it fits you nails

Updated: May 21

Getting the right size is key to making your press-ons look flawless and feel comfortable. Follow the steps below to measure your nail plate accurately at home.

What You’ll Need:

  • A flexible measuring tape (ideally for sewing) OR a piece of tape and a ruler

  • Pen or fine-tip marker

  • Good lighting

  • Clean, natural nails (remove any polish or enhancements first)


Step-by-Step Instructions:

Option 1: Using a Measuring Tape

  1. Place the measuring tape across the widest part of your natural nail plate — usually right across the middle.

  2. Record the width in millimeters (mm) for each nail (thumb to pinky).

  3. Repeat for all 10 fingers — your sizes may vary slightly between hands.


Option 2: Using Tape and a Ruler

  1. Cut a small strip of clear tape.

  2. Place it over your nail horizontally at the widest point.

  3. Mark the edges of your nail on the tape with a pen or marker.

  4. Remove the tape and place it on a ruler to measure the distance between the marks in millimeters (mm).

  5. Record each measurement (thumb to pinky).


Submit Your Sizes

When ordering, you can enter your sizes in comments (e.g. thumb- 14mm, pointing finger- 8 mm , etc.)


Pro Tips:

  • Measure both hands — some people have different sizes on each hand!

  • Don’t round down — always round up to the nearest millimeter for comfort.
