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.
