Width per size
Each size runs from pinky to thumb: the first number is your pinky, the last one your thumb.
The sizes in the chart refer to the width of your nail. You choose the length with the shape.
Between two sizes? Go for the larger one; you file the sides down to size in a few strokes. Every set comes with 5 spare nails. Picked the wrong size after all? We exchange an unused set for the right size within 14 days; you pay the postage to send it back to us.

Gentle Perfection
Gentle Perfection is a muted rosewood with a subtle sheen, offering just enough color to look polished without ever shouting for attention. These press-on nails work equally well in a meeting or at a wedding, a refined and timeless shade that flatters almost every skin tone.
What's in the box
- 15 handmade soft gel nails: 10 for your fingers and 5 spares, all in your size
- 150 adhesive tabs, so you can wear them again
- 1 nail file and 1 cuticle pusher
- 5 alcohol prep pads
Every set is made by hand, one at a time, never mass produced.
Your shape, your size
Choose from four shapes, from short to long: Round, Oval Short, Square Short and Oval Long. Then pick your size: XS, S, M or L. That's the difference from a standard box of fake nails: you decide what goes in your set. Measure the widest part of your nail before you order; our size chart shows you how. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one; the sides file down easily in a few strokes.
Applying and wearing
Clean your nails with an alcohol prep pad, pick the right size for each finger, stick on an adhesive tab and press each nail firmly for 15 to 30 seconds. You are done in under ten minutes, with no drying time. Keep your hands out of water for the first 2 to 4 hours so the tabs can bond. With the adhesive tabs included, a set stays on for 1 to 2 weeks, about 10 days on average, depending on your work and how often your hands are in water. Soft gel is flexible, so you can file them or paint over them, something thin plastic nails rarely handle well. Soak them off gently in warm water and you can wear the same set 3 to 5 times with fresh tabs. First time? Our How it works page takes you through applying, removing and reusing them step by step.
Not sure of your size yet? Measure first. If a set still doesn't fit, we'll exchange an unused set for the right size, or take it back, within 14 days. You only pay the shipping to send it back to us.

Attach the press-onHold it at a 45-degree angle and line it up with the glue. Press it onto the glue, slide it towards your cuticle and then press it down.
