Finding the right size for your press-on nails is key to achieving that flawless, salon-quality look. At Eclaire Nail Studio, we know how important it is for your nails to fit perfectly—not too tight, not too loose. That’s why we’ve created this simple guide to help you measure and choose the perfect size for your press-on nails.
Why Sizing Matters
Proper sizing ensures your nails look natural and stay secure. Ill-fitting nails can pop off, feel uncomfortable, or even damage your natural nails. Let’s avoid that, shall we?
How to Measure Your Nails at Home
You don’t need fancy tools—just a little patience and these simple steps:
- Gather your tools: You’ll need clear tape, a fine-tip marker, and a ruler or measuring tape.
- Mark the width: Place a piece of clear tape across your nail. Use the marker to mark the edges of your nail where it meets your skin.
- Measure the width: Peel off the tape and measure the distance between the marks in millimeters (mm).
- Repeat for all nails: Each finger might be slightly different, so measure them all!
What to Do With Your Measurements
At Eclaire Nail Studio, we offer four sizes: XS, S, M, and L. Compare your measurements to our sizing guide (available on our website) to find the size that fits you best. If you’re between sizes, don’t worry—we recommend sizing up for a more secure fit.
What If the Nail Feels Too Big?
No problem! If your press-on nail is slightly too big, you can easily file down the sides to match the shape of your natural nail. This quick fix ensures a snug, comfortable fit.
Common Sizing Mistakes to Avoid
- Guessing your size: Always measure! Your nails deserve that extra attention.
- Using incorrect tools: A ruler with millimeters is best for accuracy.
- Skipping the guide: Our sizing guide is your best friend—use it!
Final Thoughts
Sizing your nails might take a few extra minutes, but it’s worth it for that perfect, long-lasting fit. With the right size, your Eclaire press-on nails will look stunning and stay secure for weeks.
