Press-On Nail Size Guide

Find your fit

Every Bad Taste Nails set contains 10 handmade press-on nails in your selected shape, length and size. Choose a standard size (XS, S, M or L), submit custom measurements, or order a sizing kit before buying your finished set.

Most accurate: use a sizing kit

A sizing kit is the most reliable way to find your fit because every nail shape and length has a different width and curve.

  1. Order one sizing kit in the exact shape and length you plan to buy.
  2. Place each sample tip over your natural nail without pressing or forcing it.
  3. Choose the tip that covers the nail from sidewall to sidewall.
  4. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger size.
  5. Record both hands in thumb-to-pinky order.

Do not reuse sizing results for a different shape or length.

Standard size guide

Measurements are listed in millimetres from thumb to pinky.

Size Thumb Index Middle Ring Pinky
XS 14 11 12 10 8
S 15 12 13 11 8
M 16 12 13 11 9
L 17 13 14 12 10

This table is a guide. Nail-tip brands, shapes, lengths and curves vary, so a sizing kit gives the safest match.

Custom size

Measure the widest part of every natural nail in millimetres. Send all 10 measurements and label each finger clearly, for example:

Left hand: thumb 15 mm, index 12 mm, middle 13 mm, ring 11 mm, pinky 8 mm
Right hand: thumb 15 mm, index 12 mm, middle 13 mm, ring 11 mm, pinky 8 mm

If a measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger tip. Check every nail individually because the two hands can differ.
