Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure my nail bed accurately?
The best way is to use a piece of clear tape across the widest part of your natural nail, mark the edges with a pen, then remove the tape and measure the marks against a millimeter ruler.
Which nail shape lasts the longest?
Almond and Round shapes are the most durable because they lack sharp corners that easily snag or chip. They distribute stress more evenly across the nail extension.
What is "Extension" vs "Total Length"?
"Extension" refers only to the part of the nail that grows past your fingertip. "Total Length" includes your natural nail bed plus the extension. Most technicians charge based on the extension length.
Are these measurements standard for salons?
While millimeter measurements are precise, many salons use "Short, Medium, Long" categories. Use this tool to find your preferred mm length so you can tell your tech exactly what you want.
How often should I get a refill?
To maintain the structural integrity of the extension, refills are recommended every 2 to 3 weeks. Waiting too long shifts the "apex" or strength point of the nail too far forward, increasing breakage risk.
Can I use these for press-on nails?
Yes! This is perfect for ordering custom press-on sets. Most press-on artists list their lengths in millimeters, so you can visualize the look before clicking "buy".
What shape is best for short fingers?
Almond and Coffin shapes are highly recommended for shorter fingers as their tapered sides create a vertical illusion that makes the fingers appear longer and more slender.
