Nail Sizing Guide
Nail wraps & press-ons • Takes about 2 minutes • Perfect fit
Hey Gorgeous! Getting the right size makes all the difference. Measure once and your wraps and press-ons will sit flush, stay on longer and look custom made for you.
For nail wraps and press-ons
How to size your nails
All you need is a soft measuring tape, or a thin strip of paper and a ruler.
Measure your nails
Measure across the widest part of each nail bed (the flat surface, not the tip) in millimetres. Your nails are probably different widths, so measure all ten.
Match your size
For nail wraps, choose the wrap in your set that best fits each nail. For handmade press-ons, use the size chart below. Most people need a larger size for their thumbs, which is completely normal.
In between? Size up
A slightly wide wrap or press-on can be trimmed or filed at the sides to fit. One that's too narrow leaves gaps at the edges and won't stay on as well.
Handmade press-ons
Press-on size chart
| Size | Nail width |
|---|---|
| XS | Up to 12mm |
| S | 13–14mm |
| M | 15–16mm |
| L | 17–18mm |
| XL | 19mm and above |
Before applying, lay each press-on against your nail to find the best match for every finger.
Make it last
Getting the best press-on fit
File for a flush fit
If a size feels slightly too wide, gently file the sides until it sits flush with your natural nail. Take your time, a well-fitted press-on can last one to two weeks.
Jelly tabs
Included with all our press-ons. A temporary hold that's great for events and easy to remove.
Nail glue
For a longer-lasting bond of up to two weeks. Either way, make sure it covers your nail edge to edge, then press firmly for 30 seconds.
Good to know
Press-on questions
What if none of the sizes cover my nail properly?
Lay each press-on against your nail before removing the backing. The right size covers your nail bed fully without overhanging onto the skin at the sides. If it's slightly too wide, gently file the edges for a perfect fit.
Can I reuse press-on nails?
Yes, if you applied them with jelly tabs rather than glue. Remove them carefully, clean off any adhesive and store them in the original box or a small ziplock bag.
How do I remove press-ons without damaging my nails?
Never force or peel them off. Soak your fingertips in warm oil, then gently lift one side and work the press-on off. Jelly tabs come away with a little oil, or you can rub them into a ball.
My nail bed is quite curved. Will press-ons still fit?
Press-ons work best on fairly flat nail beds. If your nails have a strong curve, press down firmly for a full 60 seconds and consider nail glue rather than tabs for a more secure hold.
