Nail Sizing Methods
Find Your Perfect Fit
Because every set of my press-on nails is handcrafted, getting an accurate measurement of your natural nails is the most important step. A perfect fit ensures your nails look seamlessly natural and stay on for weeks!
Choose one of our easy at-home measuring methods below to find your sizes before ordering.
Option 1: The Coin Method
This is our recommended method! It allows us to digitally measure your nails with precision.
What you need: A flat surface, a standard coin (Penny, Nickel, or Quarter), and your phone camera.
How to do it:
Place your hand completely flat on a table next to the coin.
Take a straight-down, top-down photo of your hand. (Make sure the camera is parallel to the table, not tilted!)
Repeat for your other hand.
Upload these photos when submitting your Custom Order Form or email an image after ordering, and we will calculate your exact millimeter measurements for you!
Option 2: The Printable Ruler Guide
Want to find your exact millimeter sizes right now? Print our custom nail ruler.
Crucial Printing Instructions: When printing, make sure your printer settings are set to "Actual Size" or "100% Scale" (Do NOT choose "Fit to Page"). To ensure it printed accurately, place a real credit card or standard ruler against the printed guide check line.
How to measure:
Wrap the paper ruler around the widest part of your natural nail bed (from sidewall to sidewall).
Note the measurement in millimeters (mm) for each finger.
Write down your numbers from Thumb to Pinky for both hands (e.g., Left: 16mm, 13mm, 14mm, 12mm, 10mm).
The Standard Size Chart
Once you have your millimeter (mm) measurements, see if you fit into our standard size suites. If your numbers don't match these exactly, don't worry! Just select "Custom" at checkout and leave your numbers in the notes.
Nail Sizes (Thumb to Pinky) Millimeter Equivalent
XS 3, 6, 5, 7, 9 (15mm, 12mm, 13mm, 11mm, 9mm)
S 2, 5, 4, 6, 9 (16mm, 13mm, 14mm, 12mm, 9mm)
M1, 5, 4, 6, 8 (17mm, 13mm, 14mm, 12mm, 10mm)
L 0, 4, 3, 5, 7 (18mm, 14mm, 15mm, 13mm, 11mm)
Sizing Disclaimer: Please double-check your measurements! Because every set is custom-made to order, EliteNailCo is not responsible for incorrectly sized orders. If you are between sizes, we always recommend sizing up by 1mm, as you can easily file down the sides of the press-on nail for a perfect fit, but you cannot make a small nail bigger.
