How to find our my nail bed size?

The Measurement Tape Method (Most Accurate)

What you need: A soft, flexible measuring tape (the sewing kind).

Steps:

  1. Measure the Width:Place the measuring tape across the widest part of your natural nail (usually near the cuticle).Note the measurement in millimeters (mm).Do this for all 10 fingers, as sizes vary.
  2. Compare to Press-On Sizes: view chart at bottom of this page

Pro-Tips for Perfect Sizing

✔️ DO:

  • Measure after nail prep (cuticles pushed back, nails clean).
  • Size up if between sizes – slightly wide is better than too narrow (you can file).
  • Consider nail shape: Almond/coffin shapes may fit differently than square.
  • Re-measure periodically – nail beds change over time.

❌ DON'T:

  • Choose nails that touch your skin (causes lifting and discomfort).
  • Force a nail that’s clearly too small or large.

Size L: 0,5,4,5,8

Size M: 1,6,5,6,9
