Sizing

Finding your size

Step-by-step guide to perfectly fitting nails.

Two ways to size

Use the classic tape & ruler method below, or jump to the quick Quarter or Dime method.

Method 1 ā€” Tape & ruler

1

Measure your nails

You'll need tape and a ruler. Start with your thumb and work to your pinky ā€” measure the widest part of each nail and write down all 5 numbers.

  • S3 - 7 - 6 - 7 - 9
  • M2 - 6 - 5 - 6 - 8
  • L1 - 5 - 4 - 5 - 8

Method 2 ā€” Quarter or Dime

Press-on nail sizing guide: Quarter or Dime method

Finding your perfect press-on nail size from home is simple with the Quarter or Dime method. This quick technique helps me accurately match your nail sizes for a comfortable, natural-looking fit ā€” no sizing kit required.

What you'll need

  • A quarter or dime
  • Your natural nails
  • Good lighting
  • A phone (for photos)

How it works

Step 1: Position the coin

Place a quarter or dime flat across your nail, aligning it with the widest part of your nail bed. Make sure the coin is centered and not tilted.

Step 2: Compare the width

Observe how your nail compares to the coin:

  • Narrower than the coin ā†’ Smaller nail sizes
  • About the same width ā†’ Medium nail sizes
  • Wider than the coin ā†’ Larger nail sizes

Step 3: Take a photo

For best accuracy, take a clear photo of each nail with the coin in place. This allows me to visually assess and confirm your sizing.

Step 4: Repeat for all nails

Each nail can vary slightly in size, so be sure to measure all 10 nails individually.

Pro tips for the best fit

  • Measure at the widest point of each nail
  • Let the coin rest naturally ā€” avoid pressing down too hard
  • If you're unsure between sizes, size up ā€” you can always file for a more precise fit
