Sizing
How to Size Your Nails
To order a set of nails, you must know your nail measurements. There are two ways to determine your size.
Option 1: Purchase a sizing kit (recommended)
Step 1: Purchase a sizing kit
- You can purchase a sizing kit on the website and choose your desired shape and length. Use code “freeship” at checkout.
- If you’d like to try up to three different shapes or sizes, please indicate it at checkout.
Step 2: Size your nails
- Once you’ve received your kit in the mail, please follow the instructions on the kit to size your nails individually.
- Place the nail tip on your naked natural nail. Be sure that the tip fits side to side with no pressure. There should be no overlaps as this may lead to lifting. The tip must not be forced down to fit the nail.
- *If you have any questions about sizing, please email us at frenchdnails@gmail.com
Step 3: Write down your sizes
Write down the sizes of each individual nail (Thumb, Index, Middle, Ring, Pinky). Each hand can vary in size so check both sides!
Step 4: Make your custom press-on deposit
Only 10 custom press-on slots are available each week. Secure your spot by submitting a "Custom Press-on deposit". This deposit will go towards the total price of your press-on. Final price is determined after consult.
Step 5: Place your order
Gather all the information needed with your sizes and send us a DM or email to get your consultation started. After consultation, we will direct you to our website to checkout.
Option 2: Measure your own nails - Tape Method
2. Press down on the left and right sidewalls to form a crease
3. Mark the left side using a pen
4. Then mark the right side
5. Remove the tape from your nail
6. Measure against a ruler or measuring tape in millimeters (mm)
7. Convert mm to numeric size based on the image below. (example index: 14.5mm = 2)
8. Write down size for each nail. (Both Left and Right hands)
Option 3: Standard Sizing
There will be a select number of pre-made order nail sets available on the website. These sets will be ready to ready to order based on our standard sizes:
XS, S, M, L, XL
