How to choose the right size

As an expert, I can explain in detail how to properly measure your nails to help you choose the most suitable prosthesis. Accurate measurement is essential to ensure comfort, durability, and aesthetics. When applying gel prosthetics, an incorrect size can cause premature detachment, discomfort, or an unsightly appearance.

Why measure your nails?

Measuring allows you to adjust the prosthesis to the width of your natural nail. A prosthesis that is too small will pull at the sides, while one that is too large will protrude from the nail plate and snag.

2. Necessary material

A flexible meter (sewing tape), or
A small millimeter ruler
A transparent tape (scotch tape) and a pencil to note the measurements
Or, our printed nail template design that we can deliver to you!

3. Measurement steps

Step 1: Prepare the nail

Clean your hands and remove any polish or gel residue.

Step 2: Measure the width

Measure from side to side, not including skin or cuticles.
Note the value in millimeters for each finger (because size varies from finger to finger).

Example :

Inch: 15 mm
Index: 12 mm
Major: 13 mm
Ring finger: 12 mm
Auricular: 10 mm

Step 3: Measure the length (optional)

Some prosthesis models are available in several lengths.
Measure from the bottom of the nail (near the cuticle) to the free end.

4. Adjustment with the supplier table

Prosthesis brands use numbered sizes (e.g. #0 #9). Each size corresponds to a width in millimeters.

Compare your measurements with the table provided (see images) take the measurements in mm next to the letter W
Always choose a prosthesis that is equal to or slightly wider than the nail, as it is possible to file the sides, but impossible to widen a capsule that is too narrow.

Concrete example:

If your index finger measures 10 mm and the mark indicates:
