Please measure your nails before you order. It takes about three minutes with a strip of tape and a ruler, and it's the single biggest thing between you and a set that looks like it came out of a salon. Every set is hand-painted and all sales are final, so this little step really is worth doing — even if you've worn press-ons before.
Standard size guide
Every ready-made set is ten nails — one for each finger, both hands. Once you have your measurements, match them to the bands below and choose XS, S, M or L on the product page. I'll pack the ten nail sizes that match that band.
| Size | Thumb | Index | Middle | Ring | Pinky |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 3 | 6 | 5 | 7 | 9 |
| S | 2 | 5 | 4 | 6 | 9 |
| M (most popular) | 1 | 5 | 4 | 6 | 8 |
| L | 0 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 7 |
Between two sizes? Always go up, never down
If your measurements land between two of my sizes, please choose the slightly larger one. This is the most important thing on the page, so I'll say exactly why:
A nail that's a touch too wide is an easy fix — a few seconds with a file along each side and it sits perfectly. A nail that's too small can't be made bigger. It leaves a sliver of your natural nail showing along the edges, it won't sit flush against the nail bed, and it's far more likely to catch and pop off early. Sizing up gives you the prettiest finish and the longest wear, every time.
What the numbers mean
The numbers in the table above are nail sizes. Size 0 is the widest and size 9 is the narrowest. Here's what each one measures across the nail bed at its widest point:
| Size | Nail width (mm) |
|---|---|
| 0 | 18 mm |
| 1 | 17 mm |
| 2 | 16 mm |
| 3 | 15 mm |
| 4 | 14 mm |
| 5 | 13 mm |
| 6 | 12 mm |
| 7 | 11 mm |
| 8 | 10 mm |
| 9 | 9 mm |
Size numbers aren't standard across brands — these refer to the tips I use. So please measure against my chart rather than assuming you're the same size you were somewhere else.
Custom sets
If your nails sit outside these bands, or you'd like each nail painted to your own measurements, start a custom order. Send me the raw millimetres and I'll match every nail against my own tips myself, so you never have to work out which size number you are.
Not sure? Please just ask me
I would so much rather help you choose than have you end up with a set that doesn't sit right. Message me before you order with your measurements and I'll tell you which size I'd send you. There's no such thing as a silly question here.
A gentle note on ordering
Because every set is hand-painted by me in tiny numbers and press-ons are worn right against the nail bed, all sales are final — I'm not able to offer returns, refunds or exchanges for the wrong size or a change of heart. Choosing your size is the one part that's yours, which is exactly why I've tried to make it as easy as I possibly can. If your set ever arrives damaged, that one's on me: message me within 14 days of delivery with photos and I'll sort out an exchange. Read the full policy →
