How to Measure Your Nails for Press-Ons at Home!

Choosing a press-on nail set starts with a comfortable fit. Measuring each natural nail before you shop makes it easier to compare your measurements with the size guidance supplied for a set. You do not need special equipment: a small strip of tape, a pen and a ruler are enough.

How to measure your nails
1. Place a strip of tape across the widest part of one natural nail.
2. Mark the left and right edges of your nail on the tape.
3. Remove the tape and measure the distance between the marks in millimetres.
4. Repeat for all ten nails; it is normal for the two hands to differ.

Choosing a fit
Compare each measurement with the size information on the product page. A press-on should sit on the nail plate without covering your skin or pressing into the sidewalls. If you are between options, choose the fit that feels most comfortable and follow the product’s own fitting guidance.

Keep a note of your measurements on your phone. It turns future style choices into a quicker, more relaxed part of getting ready. Explore SnapSnapNow press-on nail styles and choose a set that suits your plans.
