The sizing guide: from XS to XL without guessing

Measure once in millimetres and you will order the same size confidently every time.

The sizing guide: from XS to XL without guessing

The short answer

Measure each nail at its widest point in millimetres: XS is 6-8 mm, S 8-10 mm, M 10-12 mm, L 12-14 mm and XL 14-16 mm. If you are between sizes, size up and file the sidewall.

  • · Measure across the widest point
  • · Match to a size band
  • · When in doubt, size up

Measure across the widest point

Use a soft tape or a strip of paper across the widest part of each natural nail, level with the cuticle. Write the millimetre value down per finger - hands are rarely symmetrical.

Match to a size band

Each NEEVANAILS set ships with a full range of tips, so your kit covers every finger. The size you pick at checkout sets the overall scale: XS and S suit narrow beds, M fits most, L and XL suit broad thumbs and wider beds.

When in doubt, size up

A tip that is a fraction wide can be filed down the sidewall in seconds. A tip that is too narrow leaves your natural nail exposed at the edges and will catch and lift.
