Method 1: Using Tape or Paper and a Ruler:

1. Prepare your tools: clear adhesive tape, a narrow strip of paper, a ruler or measuring tape that measures in millimeters.

2. Apply the tape or paper: Place a small piece of tape/paper across the widest part of your nail, ensuring it is smooth. Press down firmly on the sides to get an accurate measurement.

3. Mark the tape or paper: Using a pen or pencil, make a mark on the tape/paper at each side of your nail where it meets the skin. This will help you measure the width accurately.

4. Remove and measure: Lay the tape flat on a surface. Use the ruler to measure the distance between your marks in millimeters (mm). Record this measurement for each nail. 

5. Repeat for each nail: Measure all your nails, from thumb to pinky, and note down the sizes. This is important for ordering press on nails from Talons Nail Art in your size.

​

Method 2: Direct Measurement:

1. Use a measuring tape: If you have a soft measuring tape, hold it horizontally against the widest part of your nail bed. Record the measurement in millimeters. 

2. Consider nail shape: If your nails are very arched, add a mm to the width measurement to ensure a comfortable fit.

​

Additional Tips:

• Measure both hands: Your nails on each hand may differ in size, so measure both hands to ensure accuracy.

• Sizing up: If your measurement falls between two sizes, it’s better to choose the larger size for comfort. You can lightly file the edges of a press on nail for a perfect fit if need be, but you can't add width. Contact me if you need help.  

• Record your sizes and see if they match a size that I have provided in the size menu. If none of the provided sizes match, click "custom" and enter your sizes in the personalization box. I will keep a record of your measurements for future orders from Talons Nail Art!
