Measure with tape
Make sure to measure on bare nails and both hands, as sizes can differ.
SOFT MEASURING TAPE
1. Place a soft measuring tape across the widest part of your nail, following its natural curve.
2. Make sure the tape sit flush from sidewall to sidewall.
3. Write down the measurement in millimetres for all 10 fingers.
OR CLEAR TAPE & RULER
1. Press a piece of clear or masking tape over your nail.
2. Mark the widest points (sidewall to sidewall) with a pen.
3. Remove the tape, stick it to paper, and measure the distance between the marks in millimetres using a ruler.
4. Write down measurements for all 10 fingers.
