How to Measure Your Nails at Home

How to measure your press-on nails at home - VERRE CLAIR

Method 1: Using a Soft Measuring Tape (Recommended)

  1. Hold a flexible measuring tape horizontally across the widest curvature of your natural nail bed (usually near the center).
  2. Press the tape firmly against the side walls of your nail to account for your natural nail curve.
  3. Record the measurement in millimeters (mm) for all 5 fingers (Thumb, Index, Middle, Ring, Pinky).

Method 2: Using Clear Tape & a Ruler (No Soft Tape Needed)

  1. Place a piece of clear sticky tape horizontally across the widest part of your nail bed.
  2. Press down firmly into the creases on both sides and use a fine-tip pen to mark the left and right edges of your nail.
  3. Peel off the tape, place it on a flat surface, and measure the distance between the two marks using a standard millimeter (mm) ruler.
