sizing 101.

The first step to finding the perfect fit to natural press on nails! It's very important to take your time during this process because every set custom sized to fit YOU.

What’s Inside the Sizing Kit?

Each sizing kit includes one nail in every size for the shape you selected. Shapes vary, so your kit may include:

  • 00–9
  • 0–14
  • 0–11
  • or 00–12

Every shape fits a little differently that’s why you’ll want to size each finger individually.

Step 1 – Start with Clean Nails

Before sizing, make sure your natural nails are completely bare no polish, no gel, not even clear coat. Anything left on your nails can throw off the sizing and give you an inaccurate fit.

Step 2 – Size Each Finger

  • Test all 10 nails on both your left and right hand (they aren’t always the same).
  • Hold the sample the correct way: the cuticle edge (rounded end) should face your cuticle.
  • The right fit should feel snug from sidewall to sidewall with light pressure.
  • Too tight? It will feel uncomfortable or painful.
  • Too loose? It will “float” above your nail instead of hugging it.

Step 3 – If You’re Between Sizes

Always choose the larger size. Once your full set arrives, you can easily file the sides or cuticle area for a seamless, custom fit.

Step 4 – Record Your Sizes

Write down your size for each finger (ex: Left Thumb = 2, Right Index = 5). This ensures your custom set is built to your exact measurements. once you place your first order, I'll record all your sizes in your profile for safe keeping.

* I use Apres Gel-X nails to make the press-ons, if you have ordered custom press-ons before from someone else the sizing will be the same if they use the same tips which will save you from ordering a sizing kit. Please message me before you order so I can see if you can avoid ordering a sizing kit.
