The perfect fit starts with the perfect measurements!

The easiest and most accurate way to find your sizes is to order a sizing kit. It allows you to try different nail sizes directly on your natural nails, helping you find the best fit before ordering your custom set.

But if you prefer to measure at home, you can do that too! Here's how to measure your nails using tape, a pen and a ruler.

What You'll Need

• Clear or paper tape
• A fine-tip pen
• A ruler with millimetre markings
• A piece of paper
• A little patience!

How to Measure Your Nails at Home

Step 1: Apply the tape

Place a piece of tape over your nail, making sure it covers the full width. Gently press the tape into both sidewalls (the sides of your nail) so it follows the natural shape of your nail. This will create a crease along each edge.

Step 2: Mark the widest points

Using a fine-tip pen, mark the left and right edges of your nail directly onto the tape. Make sure your marks line up with the widest points of your natural nail.

Step 3: Transfer the tape

Carefully peel off the tape and stick it flat onto a piece of paper. Smooth it down without stretching or distorting the tape, as this could affect your measurements.

Step 4: Measure in millimetres

Using a ruler, measure the distance between your two marks in millimetres (mm). This measurement represents the width of your nail.

Step 5: Repeat for all ten nails

Repeat the process for every finger on both hands. Don't assume that matching fingers have the same measurements! Your left and right thumbs, for example, may be slightly different sizes.

Record each measurement clearly and double-check your results before submitting them with your order.

Tips for Getting the Best Fit

• Measure each nail individually. Natural nails aren't always symmetrical, even across both hands.
• Use millimetres, not centimetres. Small differences can make a noticeable difference to the fit.
• Don't stretch the tape. Keep it flat and avoid pulling it while removing it from your nail.
• Measure carefully. If a mark is unclear, repeat the process rather than guessing.
• When in doubt, order a sizing kit. It's the recommended option if you want the best chance of getting a comfortable, well-fitting set.

Remember, the aim is to capture the full width of your natural nail at its widest point, including its natural curve.

A Quick Note About Sizing

At Cute Clawz Nail Studio, every custom press-on set is made with care, but the fit depends on the measurements provided.

Please take your time when measuring! Unfortunately, refunds or replacements cannot be offered for incorrect sizing supplied with a custom order. Taking a few extra minutes to check your measurements can save you disappointment later.

If you're unsure about your measurements, I strongly recommend ordering a sizing kit before purchasing your custom set.
