Nail Sizing

💅 Badbpressed Sizing Guide (Read This First!)

Getting the right size is the #1 thing customers struggle with—and it’s the key to retention (how long your nails last). Correct sizing + proper nail prep = long-lasting, comfy Badbpressed sets. 🖤

What you’ll need

  • 📏 A ruler (mm is best)

  • 🩹 A small strip of white tape

  • ✍️ A pen/marker

  • 🪙 A coin (10p or 2p)

  • 📸 Your phone camera

⭐ Option 1: FREE Sizing Kit (FREE - pay postage only)

Want zero guesswork? Grab a free sizing kit in your chosen shape & length (you just cover postage). Get your free sizing kit here https://badbpressed.myshopify.com/collections/sizing-kit-free-just-pay-postage

What you get:

  • 11 plain nails per kit (one of every size for your selected shape/length)

  • Each nail is numbered so you can record your perfect fit easily ✅

How to use it:

  1. Lay out the numbered nails.

  2. For each finger, place nails on top until you find the one that fits exactly from sidewall to sidewall (no gaps, no overlap).

  3. Note the numbers for each finger (thumb → pinky) on both hands.

  4. Send your numbers via the Contact Me tab or email badbbeauty25@gmail.com with your order number.

Option 2: Tape & Ruler Method  📏

This method is precise if done correctly; however, there is room for error using this method alone. Use Option 2 along with Option 3 below for best results.

  1. Place tape across your nail (one nail at a time).

  2. Mark the widest points (left & right edges).

  3. Peel & measure in mm from mark to mark.

  4. Repeat for all 10 nails (both hands).

  5. List sizes thumb → pinky for each hand.

Pro tips: Measure flat across the nail (don’t curve the tape). If between sizes, go up 0.5–1mm.

Option 3: Coin Photo Method (best double-check) 🪙

Use this method alone or along with Option 2 for best results.

  1. Place your hand flat on a table in good lighting.

  2. Put a 10p or 2p coin next to your fingers.

  3. Take a straight-on photo (no angle, no filters).

  4. Do this for both hands.

Why it works: I can visually verify your proportions. Combine with measurements or the sizing kit for a near-perfect fit. ✅
