Nail Sizing Guide

Getting your sizing right makes all the difference. Follow these simple steps and your nails will fit like they were made for you — because they were!

1

Gather Your Supplies

All you need is a coin (a quarter or dime works perfectly), a flat hard surface, and your phone camera. No ruler or tape measure required!

💡

Make sure your hands are clean and your nails are free of old polish so the edges are clearly visible.

2

Prep Your Nails

Push your cuticles back gently so the full width of each nail is visible. Trim or file to your natural edge first — don't measure on top of grown-out nails.

💡

If you have long natural nails, trim them to a short, natural length before measuring. I size the press-on to your natural nail bed, not your current nail length.

3

Place the Coin Next to Your Hand

Place your coin flat on a hard surface. Rest your four fingers (index, middle, ring, and pinky) flat right next to it. The coin gives me a reference scale to measure each nail accurately.

💡

A quarter or dime works great. Make sure the coin is on the same flat surface as your fingers — not elevated.

4

Take the Photo from Directly Above

Hold your phone directly above your hand and take a clear, well-lit photo from directly overhead. All four fingers and the full coin must be visible in the frame. In a separate photo, place your thumb flat next to the coin and take another photo. Thumbs should be photographed separately so they are flat and clearly viewed.

💡

Natural lighting is best. Avoid shadows — they make it hard to see nail edges. Take 2–3 photos and choose the clearest one.

5

Upload During Checkout

Upload your sizing photo in Step 3 of the order form. I'll use your photo and the coin as a reference scale to custom-cut every nail to your exact measurements.

💡

Feel free to upload 2–3 angles if you're unsure. The more clearly I can see your nail beds, the better the fit!

Coin Method Examples

Here's exactly what your sizing photos should look like.

  • ✓Measure in millimeters for the most accurate fit
  • ✓Send two photos: four fingers flat next to a coin, and your thumb separately
  • ✓Don't include false nails in your measurement — measure your natural nail
  • ✓If you've gained or lost weight recently, take fresh measurements
