How to select the correct size nail tips!


(You can find plenty of tutorials on websites like YouTube or TikTok. Take a look around for some videos if you're having trouble!)

Here is a useful chart if you already know what your natural nail measurements are in mm.

How to find your measurements!

There are many different ways to find your press on nail size. Here, I will explain one of the methods that can be done at home. Please note that it may not be entirely accurate. The only way to get a completely accurate size is to order a Sizing Kit. This is true for any store that sells custom press ons as each brand can have different dimensions for their full cover tips.

I exclusively use Apres Natural Full Cover Tips to make my press ons. If you know your sizes from one of these boxes, you can e-mail them to me and I can convert them to match the shape and length you want to order.

Make sure to size each finger as hand sizes can differ.

One method of finding what size nails will fit you involves clear tape, a marker, and a flat ruler. Press the tape around the widest part of your nail, (make sure you tuck it into your edges!) Mark the tape from edge to edge.

Remove the tape and lay it flat against your ruler, (make sure you're using the CM side!) Count each of the small lines between the two marks. Each line is 1mm.  This can also be done with measuring tape if that is available to you.

If you are between sizes, go with the larger size. If you're still not sure, you can send me an e-mail with your mm numbers and I can convert them into sizes for you!
