How to Measure Your Nails at Home (Step-by-Step)

Finding the perfect fit is key to making your press-on nails look flawless and feel comfortable. At SirenShimmer, we offer a variety of sizes, but to get that custom-salon look at home, you need to know your exact nail measurements. Don’t worry—it’s super easy and takes just a few minutes. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you measure your nails accurately from the comfort of your home.

🌟 Why Nail Sizing Matters

Ill-fitting press-on nails can pop off too easily or feel uncomfortable. When you know your exact nail sizes, you’ll get:

• A snug, natural fit

• Longer-lasting wear

• A more seamless, salon-quality finish

Let’s get started!

✂️ What You’ll Need:

• A flexible measuring tape (tailor’s tape) or a strip of paper

• A fine-tip pen or marker

• A ruler (in millimeters)

• A flat surface and good lighting

📏 Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Prep Your Nails

• Make sure your natural nails are clean and dry.

• Remove any nail polish or oils for the most accurate fit.

Step 2: Wrap and Mark

If using a tape measure:

1. Wrap the tape across the widest part of your natural nail (usually across the middle).

2. Record the width in millimeters (mm).

   

If using a strip of paper:

1. Cut a thin strip of paper (about 5mm wide).

2. Wrap it around the widest part of your nail.

3. Use a pen to mark where the paper overlaps.

4. Lay it flat next to a ruler to measure the distance in millimeters.

Step 3: Measure Each Finger

• Measure all 10 nails—each one can be slightly different.

• Note the measurements for both hands. (Some people have size differences between their left and right hands!)

✍️ Optional: Use a Sizing Kit

🧜♀️ Pro Tips from SirenShimmer

• Always double-check your dominant hand—it may be slightly wider.

• Round up if you’re in between sizes. A little file work can help with the perfect fit!

• Keep your measurements saved for future orders.
