Pick the length for your day, then the shape for your hands. Every set comes in XS to L, so size is a separate step: see the size guide.
Length
- Short (about 15–19 mm on a size M middle finger): for typing, work with your hands, and your first set. It looks the most natural and is the easiest to keep on. Short or bitten nails often fit XS or S.
- Medium (about 19–24 mm): the everyday length. Enough tip for nail art to show, still easy to type with.
- Long (about 28–36 mm): for events and photos. Long sets take a little practice for typing and opening cans. Not the best pick if you work with your hands all day.
Shape
- Almond: tapers to a soft point, so fingers look longer. The most flattering shape on most hands.
- Oval: rounded and soft. A quiet shape that suits short and medium lengths.
- Squoval: a square tip with rounded corners. Strong at the corners, so it suits busy hands.
- Square: a flat tip and straight sides. Clean and modern; best at short and medium lengths.
- Coffin: long, with a flat tip and tapered sides. A statement shape.
- Stiletto: long and pointed. The most dramatic shape and the hardest to type with.
Wide or flat nail beds? Squoval and square cover the sides well; almond and oval make wide nails look slimmer. Stiletto is the hardest shape to fit.
New to press-ons? Start with a short or medium almond or squoval set.
