how to measure
Please measure your bare nails for the most accurate results.
01/ Place a piece of tape across the widest part of your natural nail.
02/ Use a pen to mark the edges (from sidewall to sidewall).
03/ Remove the tape and note down the width in mm. Repeat for all fingers.
You’ll be prompted to choose a standard size or input your custom measurements when adding a set to your cart.
