Collapsible content

Step 1: Gather Your Tools

You’ll need:

  • Clear tape (transparent works best)
  • A fine-tip marker or pen
  • A ruler or measuring tape
  • Nail sizing chart

Step 2: Prepare Your Nails

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly to remove any oils or dirt.
  2. Push back your cuticles gently with a cuticle pusher for a clear measurement of your nail bed.

Step 3: Measure Each Nail

  1. Take a small piece of clear tape and place it across the widest part of your nail bed (usually near the middle of the nail).
  2. Using a fine-tip marker, mark the edges where your nail meets your skin on each side.
  3. Remove the tape and place it on a ruler or measuring tape.
  4. Record the measurement in inches (in) for each finger (thumb to pinky) on both hands.

Tip: Each nail may vary slightly, so measure every nail individually.

Step 4: Refer to the Sizing Chart

  • Compare your measurements to the sizing chart provided by Totally Tipsy Nails to determine your size for each nail (e.g., size 0–11).
  • If you're between sizes, choose the larger size for a comfortable fit and file down if necessary.

Step 5: Submit Your Measurements

  • Write down the sizes for both hands in the following order: Thumb, Index, Middle, Ring, Pinky (e.g., 1, 4, 3, 5, 8 for your left hand).
  • Provide this information when placing your custom order. If needed, Totally Tipsy Nails can assist with confirming your sizes.
