The Quarter Method:

The Quarter Method 🪙

Finding your perfect press-on nail fit is easy! Using just a U.S. quarter and your phone, we can estimate your nail sizes from the comfort of your home.

What You'll Need

  • One U.S. quarter

  • Your phone camera

  • A flat surface with good lighting

  • Clean, bare nails

  • Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Nails

Make sure your natural nails are clean and free of polish, extensions, or other nail enhancements.

Step 2: Position Your Fingers

Place your index, middle, and ring fingers flat on a table. Set a U.S. quarter face-up directly beside your fingers.

Step 3: Take Your Photo

Hold your camera directly above your nails and take a clear, well-lit photo. Make sure the quarter and all three nails are fully visible.

Step 4: Photograph Your Thumb & Pinky

Take separate photos of your thumb and pinky, placing the quarter beside each nail for reference.

Step 5: Repeat With Your Other Hand

Repeat the process for your opposite hand. You should have 6 photos total, 3 for each hand.

Step 6: Submit Your Photos

Send us your photos so we can estimate your nail sizes using the quarter as a measurement reference!

Tips for the perfect tip:

  • Keep your fingers straight and flat.

  • Take photos directly from above, never at an angle.

  • Make sure the quarter appears perfectly round, not oval.

  • Use bright, even lighting and avoid shadows.

  • Don't use filters or digitally alter your photos.

  • Keep the quarter close to your nails without covering them.

Note - The Quarter Method provides an estimated fit, not an exact measurement. For the most accurate sizing, we recommend requesting a custom sizing kit.

Custom Sizing Kit:

How Does a Custom Sizing Kit Work?

Finding the right nail size is the first step toward a beautiful, comfortable, and long-lasting press-on manicure. Our Custom Sizing Kit takes the guesswork out of finding your perfect fit by allowing you to try on different nail sizes before your set is made.

What's Included in a Sizing Kit?

  • Your sizing kit includes a selection of sample nail tips in different sizes, allowing you to find the best fit for each of your 10 natural nails.

How to Request a Sizing Kit

  • Step 1: Fill Out Our Order Form
    When placing your order, select the Custom Sizing Kit option in the sizing section of our order form.

  • Step 2: Receive Your Sizing Kit
    We'll prepare your sizing kit so you can measure your nails at home before your custom set is made.

  • Step 3: Find Your Perfect Fit
    Try each sample nail tip against your natural nails. The correct size should fit comfortably from sidewall to sidewall without overlapping your skin or feeling too tight.

  • Step 4: Record Your Sizes
    Write down the corresponding size number for each finger on both hands, starting from your thumb to your pinky.

  • Step 5: Submit Your Measurements
    Send us your completed sizing information so we can use it to create your custom-fit press-on set.

Why Choose a Custom Sizing Kit?

  • More Accurate Fit: Try on physical nail tips rather than relying on estimated measurements.

  • Better Comfort: Find sizes that fit your natural nail shape.

  • Improved Wear: Proper sizing can help reduce lifting and discomfort.

  • Personalized Results: Each nail is selected according to your individual measurements.

A Few Helpful Tips for the perfect tip:

  • Measure both hands, as nail sizes can differ.

  • Make sure your natural nails are clean and bare when trying on tips.

  • Never force a nail tip that feels too small.

  • Double-check your recorded sizes before submitting.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need a sizing kit to order?
    Not necessarily! You can also use our standard sizing options or follow our Nail Sizing Guide. However, a physical sizing kit is our recommended method for achieving the most accurate fit.

  • Can I reuse my sizing measurements for future orders?
    Yes! Keep a record of your sizes for future orders using the same nail tip shape and sizing system. Different shapes or tip styles may require new measurements.

  • Will my nails be made before I submit my sizes?
    Your custom-fit set requires your completed sizing information before production can begin.
