Hands comparing press-on nail sizes with sizing tools

How to choose your press-on nail shape

The easiest way to choose a press-on set is to start with shape, then move into finish. Shape controls comfort, mood, and how your hands photograph.

Short square

Choose short square if you type often, want an everyday clean look, or prefer low-maintenance wear. It is the most approachable shape for first-time press-on shoppers.

Almond

Almond shapes soften the hand and make chrome, sheer pink, and French styles feel polished without looking heavy.

Coffin and stiletto

Coffin and stiletto shapes create more drama. They are best for events, statement outfits, and content where the nails need to be visible in close-up shots.

Fit tip

Measure at the widest point of the natural nail. If you are between sizes, choose the slightly larger nail and file the sides carefully for a custom fit.
