How to Find Your Size
Whether you order a convenient pre-sized set or a set in custom sizes, you must know your nailbeds’ measurements. There are a few ways to do this:
Option 1 – Recommended
Order a Size Discovery Kit
A size discovery kit includes one blank nail in every size of your preferred shape.
You can use the size discovery kit to quickly and easily find your nail size numbers and either choose a pre-sized kit in sizes from extra small to extra large, OR order a custom sized kit when checking out.
Option 2
Measure your nails (in millimeters)
Use a flexible measuring tape to measure your nailbeds at the widest point. Be sure to press the measuring tape down firmly to accurately measure the curvature of your nail. Write down your nailbeds’ widths in millimeters.
You can also use a piece of adhesive tape. Press the tape down firmly on your nail bed, then mark the sidewalls with a pen. Peel the tape off your nail and then use a ruler to measure the distance between the marks. Write down the measurements in millimeters for each finger.
Once you have the measurements for each finger in millimeters, use the charts below to determine the nail size numbers for each finger, and to choose the correct size nail set (XS, S, M, L, XL).
