Method 1: Wrap the widest part of your nail bed by holding A flexible measuring tape from one edge to the other edge, following the natural curve of your nail beds.
Method 2: Use sticky tap over your nail and mark both edges of your nail where the tape is covering. Then measure the sticky tap on a rule.

How long do the nails last?
The actual wear-time can vary based on your unique activities, habits, and application methods. Up to a week (3-7 days) when using sticky tabs for short-term dazzle. However, It will take up to a month (15-30 days) when using our specialized gel nail glue with a UV lamp for an extended elegance.

What if my nail falls off?
Generally, it will not fall off easily after being firmly bonded. If it falls off, you need to bond the press-ons again.Make sure your natural nail is clean and glue-free before re-applying a press-on.
