Press-On Nail Sizing

careapplicationguide

The practice of measuring each natural nail's width in millimeters and matching it to a press-on size chart โ€” the fit variable that most determines whether a set looks natural and stays on.

Trend context

Key fact Typical nail-bed widths run about 14โ€“18 mm on thumbs down to 8โ€“11 mm on pinkies, and most US press-on brands map those measurements to a 0โ€“9 size scale โ€” with retailers like Handora calling incorrect sizing the number-one reason sets fail.
