How to Find Your Press-On Nail Size and the Perfect Shape
Share
The right size is the difference between nails that look natural and nails that lift on day one. It takes 2 minutes to measure.
How to measure your nails
- Place clear tape across the widest part of each nail.
- Mark both side edges with a pen.
- Peel off, stick on a ruler and note the width in millimetres.
- Repeat for all 10 fingers. Your left and right hands may differ.
- Add your sizes to the order notes when you order.

Between two sizes? Choose the larger and file the sides gently.
Choose your shape
| Shape | Looks like | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Almond | Slim, rounded point | Elegant, lengthens fingers |
| Coffin / ballerina | Tapered, flat tip | Bold, trendy, events |
| Square | Straight sides, flat tip | Classic, French tips |
| Oval | Soft rounded tip | Natural, everyday, office |
Choose your length
- Short: best for typing, office life and first-time wearers
- Medium: the everyday sweet spot
- Long: statement looks for weddings, Eid and parties
Which shape suits your hands?
Short fingers look longer with almond or oval. Wide nail beds suit almond and coffin. Very active hands do best with short squoval or oval.
