Frequently asked sizing questions

Everything you need to know about measuring your natural nail beds, selecting the right standard sizes, and requesting custom fits for your handmade press ons.

How do I measure my natural nails at home?

Place a small piece of clear tape across the widest part of your natural nail bed, pressing down firmly into the sidewalls. Use a fine pen to mark each edge of your nail on the tape, remove it, and measure the distance between marks in millimetres using a standard ruler.

What standard sizes does geldbymia offer?

We offer standard sizes ranging from Extra Small (XS) to Large (L). Each size corresponds to standard millimetre widths for thumb, index, middle, ring, and pinky nails. Check our charts or message us with your specific measurements if you fall between sizes.

What should I do if I am between sizes?

If you find yourself between two sizes, we always suggest choosing the slightly larger size. You can gently file down the edges of the press on nail with a standard nail file to achieve a seamless, custom fit to your natural cuticle line.

Do all nail shapes fit the same way?

While the curvature and width across the nail bed remain consistent, different shapes such as almond, coffin, or square can feel slightly different on your hands. If you prefer a flatter or more curved fit, let us know when ordering.

Can I order custom sizes for my order?

Yes. If your measurements do not align with our standard XS–L sets, you can order a custom set through our Custom Orders page and leave your exact millimetre measurements for all ten fingers at checkout.

Why is accurate sizing so important for press ons?

Because every set from geldbymia is crafted completely by hand, choosing the correct size prevents painful pressure on your nail beds and prevents early lifting, ensuring your affordable luxury nails stay secure and wear comfortably.

Can I get help if I am unsure about my measurements?

Absolutely. Since geldbymia is run completely online, you are welcome to send us a quick message with photos of your nails with a ruler placed across your nail bed, and we will happily assist you before you order.

Where can I view all available hand-painted designs?

You can browse all ready-to-order sets across various colours and lengths on our Nail Collections page, or request a bespoke design via our Custom Orders page.
