HOW TO MEASURE NATURAL NAIL PLATE FOR PRESS-ONS

Use a soft measuring tape or a flexible ruler with millimeter (mm) markings to measure the widest part of each natural nail—sidewall to sidewall (not including skin) pick your nail bed and shape and compare it with our nail sizing guide below. Record each nails width and submit them in order. Be sure to measure both left and right hand if they differ

Thumb • Index • Middle • Ring • Pinky

Be precise and measure in a straight line—accuracy is key for that flush, salon-quality look.

NOTE: If you nail measures in between size measurements shown in guidelines listed, it's always better to size up than down so you can file away the edges for a better fit.

After measuring your natural nail plates, tap the nail structure & shape link below that you’re interested in. Match your measurements to the listed Gel-X tip sizes to find your best fit, then submit once prompted your tip sizes when placing your order.

The sizing charts use approximate measurements in millimeters (mm) to help you choose the best Gel-X tip width and length. At the top of each Gel-X tip guide, you’ll see a photo that explains how to measure the actual nail tips—note that sizing may vary depending on the length and structure selected. Each shape is labeled as follows:
L = Length | W = Width | IC = Inner Curvature (refer to the photos above for clarity).

💡Example:💡

📌📌Let’s say you’re measuring your ring fingernail using tape. You place the tape across your natural nail, mark the width, and then measure the markings using a millimeter ruler. If the measurement reads 15mm, you’ll refer to the Gel-X Tip Guide below choose the nail shape you want then match that number with the IC (inner curvature) size that fits your preferred length—for example, in Almond Short, a 15mm width corresponds to a Size 3 Gel-X tip. You’ll repeat this process for each finger, making sure to measure both hands if your sizes differ. Once you’ve recorded all ten sizes (thumb to pinky), you’ll enter those numbers in the custom sizing field prompted when placing your press-on nail order. Keep in mind that tip sizes may vary depending on the shape and length selected, so always double-check the guide before submitting your order.

If you're unsure how to measure, short on time, or just want the most precise fit, USC highly recommends ordering a sizing kit [HERE]. It’s the easiest and most accurate way to ensure your press-ons are custom-fit for you.
