Using a dime is a quick method to estimate nail size, especially when creating custom press-on nail sets.
Here's how you can use a dime (coin) to size your nails:
- The Dime as a Reference: A dime can act as a general guide. The video suggests using it as a reference for width, particularly for custom press-on sets.
- Technique: The nail technician in the referenced video uses the dime to visually assess the width of the client's nails. This is a comparative technique rather than a precise measurement. The dime helps them to quickly determine which press-on nail sizes will be needed.
- Application: This technique is useful for determining the size of press-on nails you would create to fit the customer if you were selling/creating them.
