Press-On Nail Size Guide: How to Measure Your Nails at Home
Step 1: Measure Your Nails
Measuring your nail size accurately is the first step to achieving a natural, comfortable fit with SHINAILS press-on nails.
Choose one of the methods below to measure your nails at h
ome.
Measure Method 1: Measuring Tape (Recommended)
Hold a soft measuring tape horizontally across the widest part of your nail bed, following the natural curve of your nail.
Record the measurement in millimeters (mm).
Why we recommend this method:
* Most accurate and consistent
* Easy to repeat for all fingers
* Ideal for first-time press-on nail users
Measure Method 2: Paper & Ruler
Place a thin strip of paper across your nail bed.Use a pen to mark the
widest points on both sides of your nail.
Remove the paper and measure the distance between the two marks using a ruler (in millimeters).
This method works well if you don’t have a measuring tape available.
Step 2: Choose Your Size
Compare your natural nail width to our size chart (measurements in millimeters).
Select the size that fits most of your nails for the best overall comfort and appearance.
If you are between two sizes or have flatter nail beds, we recommend sizing up for a more secure and natural fit.
Note: Short Almond nail tips run slightly smaller than other shapes. For this style, we suggest choosing one size up for optimal coverage and comfort.
