Nail Sizing
Method 1 — Soft Measuring Tape:
- Place the tape horizontally across the widest part of your nail (near the nail bed).
- Measure from sidewall to sidewall in millimeters (mm).
- Write down each measurement for thumb → pinky.
- Repeat on both hands because sizes may vary.
Tip: If you’re between sizes, it's best to round up
You can also do this with scotch tape or paper
- Cut a small strip of paper OR place a strip of scotch tape across the nail.
- Mark where your nail begins and ends on both sides.
- Remove and lay flat on a ruler to measure in mm.
- Record all 10 nail sizes.
Tip: Make sure the strip lies flat, not curved, for accurate sizing
Method 2 — Quarter Method (Photo Size Reference):
- Take two clear photos of your hand next to quarters.
- Photo 1: Place quarters near the pinky/ring and middle/pointer fingers.
- Photo 2: Place your thumb beside a quarter.
- Keep the coin 1–2 inches from your hand and take photos straight on.
Tip: Good lighting makes it easier for me to size correctly.
