Get the Perfect Fit Every Time! 💅
At Bombae' Nailz, we want your press-on nails to fit perfectly! Follow this simple guide to measure your nails for a custom fit that looks and feels amazing.
📏 What You'll Need:
- Flexible measuring tape OR a strip of paper and a ruler
- Pen or pencil
- Your natural nails (clean and dry)
👆 Step-by-Step Measuring Instructions:
Method 1: Using Measuring Tape
- Place the measuring tape across the widest part of your nail bed (from side to side)
- Record the measurement in millimeters (mm)
- Repeat for all 10 fingers
- Write down your measurements in order: Thumb, Index, Middle, Ring, Pinky (for both hands)
Method 2: Using Paper & Ruler
- Cut a thin strip of paper
- Wrap the paper across the widest part of your nail bed
- Mark where the paper overlaps with a pen
- Lay the paper flat and measure the distance between the marks with a ruler
- Record the measurement in millimeters (mm)
- Repeat for all 10 fingers
📝 How to Submit Your Measurements:

✨ Pro Tips for Accurate Measurements:
- Measure at the widest point: This is usually the middle of your nail bed, not at the cuticle or tip
- Measure both hands: Your left and right hands may have different sizes!
- Round up if between sizes: It's easier to file down a nail that's slightly too wide than to work with one that's too narrow
- Double-check your measurements: Measure twice to ensure accuracy
- Keep your nails flat: Don't curve the measuring tape or paper around your nail

❓ Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What if my nails are between sizes?
A: Always round up to the next size. You can gently file the sides of the press-on nail for a perfect fit, but you can't make a too-small nail bigger!
Q: Do I need to measure both hands?
A: Yes! Most people have slight differences between their left and right hands.
Q: Can I adjust the nails if they don't fit perfectly?
A: Absolutely! You can file the sides of the nails with a nail file to customize the fit even more.
Q: How long does it take to get custom-sized nails?
A: Custom orders typically take 3-5 additional business days beyond our standard processing time.
