Sizing guide
Measure your nails before you order.
Measure the widest part of each natural nail in millimetres. If you sit between sizes, choose the larger press-on and file the sides gently for a comfortable fit.
| Size | Thumb | Index | Middle | Ring | Little |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 14 | 10 | 11 | 10 | 8 |
| S | 15 | 11 | 12 | 11 | 9 |
| M | 16 | 12 | 13 | 12 | 10 |
| L | 17 | 13 | 14 | 13 | 11 |
Hand measurement can vary by 1–2 mm. Measure twice and compare both hands.
Removal and care
Keep the finish beautiful.
Soak or loosen the adhesive according to the product directions. Lift gently from the side, remove residue, clean the press-ons and store them away from heat and moisture.
Never force removal
Give the adhesive enough time to release before lifting the set.
Clean after wear
Remove adhesive residue carefully and let every press-on dry completely.
Store as a set
Return nails to their tray so the shape, finish and sizes stay organised.
