Selecting the correct size for press-on nails is crucial for comfort and a natural look. The goal is to find a nail that fits your natural nail perfectly.
Finding Your Fit
- Coverage is Key: A correctly sized press-on nail should fully cover your natural nail surface.
- According to the reference, "Your best fit will cover the surface of your natural nail when you press the press-on down onto the natural nail."
- Side Check: Pay close attention to how the press-on nail interacts with your finger sides.
- If the press-on nail touches the sides of your finger, then you should use a smaller size.
- Avoid Floating: If the press-on nail sits on your natural nail without needing to be pressed down, it's likely too big.
- As the reference states, "if the press-on nail sits perfectly on your natural nail without needing to press it down, that press-on is too big."
Step-by-Step Guide
- Compare: Hold the press-on nail against your natural nail without adhering it.
- Check Width: Ensure the press-on covers the full width of your natural nail without overlapping your skin.
- Test Pressure: Gently press down; the press-on should make full contact with your natural nail.
- Observe Sides: Verify that the press-on doesn’t touch your finger skin on either side.
Why Proper Fit Matters
- Comfort: Ill-fitting nails can feel uncomfortable or painful.
- Appearance: Correctly sized nails look natural and seamless.
- Durability: A proper fit prevents premature lifting or popping off.
- Hygiene: Poorly fitting nails can trap dirt and moisture, causing hygiene issues.
By following these tips, you can ensure a comfortable and flawless press-on nail application.
