How to Measure Using the Tape Method
This method ensures precise measurements of your nail bed.
What You’ll Need:
- Clear tape
- A pen or fine-tip marker
- A ruler with millimeters
Steps:
- Prepare the Tape: Cut a small piece of clear tape and place it flat across the widest part of your nail bed.
- Mark the Width: Use the pen to mark the edges of your nail bed on the tape. Ensure the tape adheres fully to your nail bed for accuracy.
- Measure the Tape: Remove the tape and place it flat on the ruler. Measure the distance between the two marks in millimeters.
- Repeat for All Fingers: Record the measurements for each nail. Compare them to the nail sizing chart to find your perfect sizes.
How to Measure Using the Quarter Method
A quick and simple way to estimate nail sizes using a quarter.
What You’ll Need:
- A standard quarter (approximately 24 mm in diameter)
- A ruler with millimeters
Steps:
- Align the Quarter: Place the quarter over the widest part of your nail bed.
- Estimate Width: If the nail bed is slightly smaller than the quarter, it’s about 16–18 mm (thumb size). If it’s much smaller, it’s likely in the range of 9–15 mm (other fingers).
- Double-Check with a Ruler: Use the quarter as a reference to estimate and then confirm with a ruler for better accuracy.
- Match Sizes: Compare your measurements to the nail sizing chart to determine the best fit.
Helpful Tips:
- If unsure between sizes, size down for a more natural fit or up for extra coverage.
- For custom orders, provide your exact measurements to ensure a perfect fit.
- Always measure both hands, as sizes can vary slightly!
