Ways to Determine Your Size
Option 1 (Most Accurate) ORDER A SIZE KIT
Not in a rush? Get a perfect fit with the Candy Paint Press Sizing Kit.
Try every nail size in your chosen shape+lentgh to find your custom fit.
The process:
1. Order Candy Paint Press sizing kit for your size + shape. (Ex. Short Almond)
2. Once you receive your physical kit, match your nails with the provided false nail sizes. Sizes (00- 9).
* if you are in-between sizes, size UP
3. You are now able to order your set. Enter your sizes at checkout in this format:
Thumb to Pinky — Ex: 0, 4, 3, 5, 7
(include both hands if sizing differs)
Option 2 (Faster Process) TAPE METHOD
Want your nails faster? Try the Tape Method.
Skip the sizing kit—but be aware, this method leaves more room for error and may lead to a less precise fit.
No worries, though—plenty of tutorials are out there to help. Here's a quick step-by-step:
Step 1: Use a soft measuring tape and wrap it tightly over the widest part of your nail,rvng it across the nail bed. Record the width in millimeters for each finger.
No soft tape?
Use regular tape instead:
- Press it across the widest part of your nail, sidewall to sidewall.
- Mark where your nail meets the skin on both sides.
- Remove the tape and measure the marks with a ruler (in mm).
Step 2: Record your nail widths (in mm) in the text box at checkout.
NOTE: Size up if you are in between sizes
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to size nails on both hands just in case measurements are different.
Example (Thumb, Index, Middle, Ring, Pinky) : 15mm , 12 mm, 13mm, 11.5mm, 9mm
Option 3 ORDER STANDARD SIZE SET
Using our Standard Sizes Chart Below, choose what set size (XS, S, M, L) best fits your nails by measuring the width of each nail from side to side. (See tape method for reference).
On the order page, Enter in XS, S, M, or L to complete your order.
