Press-ons only last when they fit. Measure your nails right on your screen — no ruler needed — and get your exact size for every finger.

1 Calibrate your screen

Hold any credit or debit card flat against the screen and drag the slider until the pink card matches its width exactly.

How to measure your nails for press-ons

  1. Tape method (most accurate): press clear tape across the widest part of the nail, mark both edges with a pen, peel it off and measure between the marks.
  2. On-screen method: use the size finder above — calibrated with a standard bank card (85.6 mm wide).
  3. Try-on method: hold each press-on against your nail; it should cover side wall to side wall without touching skin.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know my press-on nail size?

Measure each nail across its widest point in millimeters, then match the number to a size chart: size 0 is about 18 mm, size 9 is about 9 mm. Our on-screen size finder does the matching for you.

What if I am between two press-on sizes?

Choose the larger size and gently file the sides to fit. A press-on that is too small leaves gaps at the side walls and pops off sooner.

Are press-on nail sizes the same for every brand?

Most brands use a similar 0–9 scale, but widths can differ by about 0.5–1 mm. Always compare your measurements with the brand’s own chart when it is available.

What size press-ons do I need: XS, S, M or L?

Pre-packed kits are usually sized by the thumb: about 15 mm is XS, 16 mm small, 17 mm medium and 18 mm or wider large.
