Almond — Short
Tapers to a softly pointed tip. Visually lengthening.
Best for medium-length nail beds with a moderate curve. Not ideal if your nails are very flat, very short, or wider than the press-on.
Which shape suits you best?
Fit comes down to your nail's length and curve, not just the look. Compare all four below.
Ballerina — Short
Tapered sides with a straight, defined tip.
Best for longer or more curved nail beds. Not ideal if your nail bed is very flat, or the sides feel tight.
Square (XS) — Extra Short
A square profile with a flat curve and almost no tip length.
Best for short to medium nail beds. Not ideal if your nails are long or strongly curved.
Square (S) — Short
Straight sides and a defined edge, with more length than Square (XS).
Best for longer or more curved nail beds. Not ideal if the nail rocks or springs up when you press it on.
It should cover your nail comfortably, stay inside the edges, and never hurt.
Not sure which is yours?

Curve
Take this one straight on from the front. It shows how much your nail curves from side to side — the curve a press-on has to follow to sit securely rather than lift at the edges.
Profile
Take this one from the side. It shows your apex, the highest point of the nail, which tells us which shape will sit flush against it instead of rocking.
Length
Take this one from above. It shows the whole nail bed, so we can match a length that covers it without extending past your fingertip.
Send your three photos and we'll do the rest.
Common questions about fit
Between two sizes?
Go smaller, but only if it still covers the nail comfortably. Never use one that sits on the skin, and never force a tight one.
If the nail is too small
It will lift early if it does not reach the edges. Try the next size up — every set has 30 nails in 15 sizes.
If the nail is too large
Size down. A press-on should stay inside your natural nail and never press into the skin or hurt.
Can you file close to the cuticle?
Yes, gently, with the included file. Check the fit often. French and ombré designs have an extra layer, so go lightly and seal the edge with a top coat.
If your nails only last a few days
That is almost always fit or prep, not the nails. Check each one matches your nail's width and curve, and that you pushed back, buffed and cleansed first. Still wrong? Send us photos.
