Finding the right size anything can be hard the first time. So to help with that, you can use this sizing guide to help figure out your ideal size for Malkia Press On nails.
Sizing Options & what you need
-
-
Ruler Method
- clear tape
- marker/ pen
- ruler that measures in mm

Important things to note
- Measure in Millimeters(mm)- all measurements are to be done in mm to ensure the most accurate fit.
- Measure both hands- Unless you are perfectly symmetrical, each hand will need to be measured just to make sure sizing is correct.
- Take your time- You do not want to rush this step. Making sure you get the right size the first time will help save time AND money.
How to measure with a sizing kit
-
Step 1
Place one of the tips onto your finger nails.
-
Step 2
As you place the tip on your nail make sure the width of the tip covers your entire nail.
-
Step 3
The tip is too small if...
- It will only fit if you have to firmly press it down
- You see the edges of your fingernail
- Feel a squeeze
The tip is too big if...
- You see excess space (+1mm) between your nail edge and the tip edge
Remember it is better to size up than have a size too small!
-
Step 4
Once you figure out your sizes, make sure to write on the back of you sizing card to keep track for next time.

Head to the set you wish to purchase and enter the length & shape labeled on sizing kit, and custom numbers in the custom text box.
