The right size is the secret to acrylic press-on nails that look natural and feel comfortable. A nail that is too big touches your skin and lifts. A nail that is too small leaves your natural nail showing at the sides. Here is how to choose.
Our sizes: XS, S and M
Every Nail Lounge set comes in sizes XS, S and M. Each size is a full set of nails in different widths, one for each finger, so your thumb and little finger both get the right fit.
Medium (M) is our most popular size and fits most women's hands, so it's a safe first choice if you aren't sure. Choose S if you have slim fingers or narrow nails, and XS for very small hands or teenagers. If your nails are wide, choose M and message us on WhatsApp so we can check the fit.
How to measure your nails at home
- Take a strip of clear tape and place it across the widest part of your thumbnail.
- Mark both edges of your nail on the tape with a pen.
- Stick the tape onto a ruler and read the width in millimetres.
- Repeat for each finger, or at least your thumb and your index finger.
- Compare your numbers with the size chart in the photos of any product page.
Tips for a perfect fit
- Measure the widest part of the nail, not the tip.
- If you are between two sizes, choose the bigger one. You can file the sides down, but you can't make a nail wider.
- Your two hands may be slightly different. That's normal, and that's why each set includes extra sizes.
- For long shapes like stiletto or extra long coffin, the fit at the sides matters most, so take extra care.
