How to Measure Your Nails

Hey cutie! Want your Luxe Claw press-on nails to fit like a dream? Here’s a foolproof guide to measuring your nails the right way. Follow these simple steps and get ready for flawless nails!

STEP 1: MEASURE YOUR NAILS

Method 1: Measuring Tape Trick

What You Need: A soft measuring tape (like the one used for sewing).

How to Do It:

  1. Wrap the tape around the widest part of your nail, making sure it stays flat.
  2. Note down the size in millimeters for each nail.
  3. Compare your numbers with our size chart. If they match, pick a standard size; if not, go for a custom set!

Pro Tip: Your nails might not be the same size on both hands, so measure each one separately!

Method 2: Tape & Paper Hack

What You Need: A piece of clear tape, a pen, and a ruler.

How to Do It:

  1. Place a strip of clear tape over your nail.
  2. Use a pen to mark both edges of your nail’s widest point.
  3. Stick the tape onto a piece of paper and measure the distance between the marks in millimeters.
  4. Repeat for all your nails and check with our size chart!

Pro Tip: Make sure the tape is placed smoothly on your nail for the most accurate measurement!

Method 3: Tape & Paper Hack

What You Need: A smartphone with a camera and a standard coin (e.g., 2 EUR, 1 EUR, 1 USD Quarter, or 1 GBP Coin).

How to Do It:

  1. Choose a Coin – Use a standard coin for reference. Here are some common sizes:
    • 1 EUR – 23.25mm
    • 1 USD Quarter – 24.26mm
    • 1 GBP Coin – 23.43mm
    • 1 AUD Coin – 25mm
    • 1 CAD Coin – 26.5mm
  2. Position Your Hand – Lay the coin flat on a table and place all five fingers of one hand next to it.
  3. Capture Your Photo – Hold your phone directly above your hand and snap a clear, well-lit photo. Make sure both the coin and all five nails are in the frame.
  4. Repeat with Your Other Hand – Since nail sizes can vary between hands, repeat the process with your other hand next to the coin.
  5. Send It to Luxe Claw – Share your photos with us, and we’ll determine your perfect press-on nail size!

Pro Tip: Make sure your nails and the coin are in sharp focus for the most accurate measurement!

STEP 2: MATCH YOUR SIZE

Once you have all your measurements, compare them to our size chart. If your nails match a standard size, great! If not, go custom for a perfect fit.
