Artnailery Size & Shape Guide

Our Handcrafted Collections — Everyday Elegance, Artistry Collection, Seasonal Glam, and Holiday Glam — use sizing for a perfect, salon-level fit (S / M / L, with XS / XL available by special order).

For effortless styling with no measuring, explore the Atelier Canvas Collection (premium 24-tip and 30-tip sets designed to cover a wide range of sizes).

Prep, Wrap & Mark

Clean and dry your hands. Gently push back cuticles so you capture the true width of each nail plate. Wrap a soft measuring tape (or a thin paper/washi strip) across the widest curvature from sidewall to sidewall. Mark where it meets.


Step 1 — Two Easy Ways to Measure

Method A (Recommended): read millimetres directly on a flexible tape.
Method B: mark both edges on a paper strip, then measure the distance with a ruler.


Step 2 — Record in Millimetres

Measure in mm and record all five fingers (thumb → pinky). If your two hands differ, use the larger width for each finger as your reference.


Quick Tips

  • Measure the nail plate only — do not include skin.
  • Shape selection (Almond / Coffin / Oval / Square) does not change width sizing; length options don’t affect width.
  • Between sizes? Go up for fuller coverage; go down for a snug, contoured fit.

Choose S / M / L (Quick Reference)

Size Approx. Nail Bed Width (mm)
S 13–15
M 15–17
L 17–19

Detailed by Finger (Guideline)

Finger S (mm) M (mm) L (mm) XS / XL (Special Order)
Thumb 15–16 16–17.5 17.5–19 <15 or >19
Index 12–13 13–14.5 14.5–16 <12 or >16
Middle 13–14 14–15.5 15.5–17 <13 or >17
Ring 12–13 13–14.5 14.5–16 <12 or >16
Pinky 9–10 10–11 11–12 <9 or >12

Note: Ranges are guidelines. Natural curvature and preferred coverage can influence final fit.

Quick Choose — What to pick?

  • Start with M if you’re unsure — it fits most hands.
  • Choose S if several fingers sit at the lower ends of the ranges.
  • Choose L if your thumb and 2–3 fingers are near the upper ends.

Need XS or XL?

We offer special orders for XS / XL. Please send us:

  • Each finger's width in millimetres (thumb → pinky)
  • Your preferred shape & length
  • (Optional) A clear photo of bare nails under natural light
