Press-On Nail Sizing Guide

Not sure which size to choose? Use the Softly Smith guide below to measure your natural nails and compare your measurements with our standard XS–L sizing.

Before You Order

Measure both hands, since corresponding nails can differ slightly. If you fall between two sizes, choose the larger size for better coverage and gently file the sidewalls if needed for a more customized fit.

Ready-to-Ship Sets

Our ready-to-ship press-on nail sets are sold in the size listed on each product page. Custom sizing is not available at this time, so please compare your measurements with the guide before purchasing.

Sizing & Returns

For hygiene reasons, sizing issues are not eligible for returns or exchanges. Please measure carefully before ordering.

Choosing Your Adhesive

Choose adhesive tabs for temporary wear or frequent style changes, and liquid nail glue for a stronger, longer-lasting hold. Follow your adhesive’s directions and keep glue off your skin and cuticles. See How to Apply, Remove & Reuse Press-On Nails for application steps.

Safe Removal

Never pull or pry press-ons off, as forcing them can damage your natural nails. Warm, soapy water and a little skin-safe oil can help loosen adhesive; if a nail resists, give it more time rather than forcing it. Follow your adhesive’s removal directions. Acetone may damage press-ons and their finishes. Read How to Apply, Remove & Reuse Press-On Nails for removal guidance by adhesive type.

Cleaning & Reusing Your Set

After removal, gently peel away leftover tabs or remove loose glue residue without aggressive scraping or filing. Let your press-ons dry completely and store them somewhere clean and dry. Reuse depends on the adhesive, removal method, and condition of the set; it is not guaranteed. See How to Apply, Remove & Reuse Press-On Nails for cleaning and storage tips.

Nail-Health Cautions

Apply only to healthy, intact nails and skin. Avoid over-buffing, and do not cover painful, damaged, irritated, or possibly infected nails. If discomfort or irritation develops, stop use and follow safe removal directions. Seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional for persistent pain, redness, swelling, or unusual nail changes.
