Shapes & lengths
Five silhouettes, three lengths each.
Short is desk-and-keyboard safe. Medium is the house favourite. Long is for the photos. Any shape can be filed down after fitting.

Size guide
Twelve widths. Yours are in here somewhere.
Measure once and you never do it again — we keep your twelve numbers on file after the first order.
| Size | Width | Usually |
|---|
Print at 100% — no scaling, no “fit to page”
Check it before you trust it: the printed strip should measure exactly 10 cm end to end. On screen it won't be true size — print it, or lay a ruler on your nail instead.
- Rest your hand flat and measure each nail at its widest point, across the plate rather than the tip.
- Read the millimetres off the strip above, or any ruler with a millimetre scale.
- Between two sizes? Take the smaller one and file the sidewalls — a tip that overhangs will lift.
- Write the ten numbers down, thumb to little finger, both hands. Send them with your order.
How it works
Five steps. No lamp, no acetone.
Everything below comes in the box, including the 180/240 grit file and the wooden cuticle stick.
- Step 01
Size
Lay the tips beside each nail and pick the width that touches both sidewalls. Note the numbers — the next set is instant.
2 min - Step 02
Prep
Push cuticles back with the wooden stick, buff the shine off, then wipe each nail with the alcohol pad.
3 min - Step 03
Stick
Adhesive tabs for a two-day wear, or a thin bead of glue across the plate for the full two weeks.
1 min - Step 04
Press
Set the tip at the cuticle line, roll it down, and hold for thirty seconds per nail. Pressure is what makes it last.
5 min - Step 05
Finish
File the free edge to the length you actually want, and skip water for the first hour.
2 min
Do
- Wipe every nail with the alcohol pad immediately before you press
- Hold each tip for a full thirty seconds — count it out
- Wear gloves for washing up and for cleaning
- Soak in warm soapy water to take them off
- Put them back in the tray between wears, not loose in a bag
Don't
- Don't press onto oily or freshly moisturised nails — nothing holds
- Don't pry a lifting tip off. Soak it first, always
- Don't use acetone on the tips; it eats the top coat
- Don't saw the file back and forth — one direction only
- Don't sleep in a set that's already lifting at the cuticle
Wear & care
Treat them like a good manicure, not like a sticker.
Glue-on sets hold for one to two weeks. Tab sets come off the same evening. Either way, the tips survive removal — most people get three or four wears out of a set before the gloss gives up.
- How do I take them off?
- Soak in warm soapy water for ten minutes, then ease a cuticle stick under the edge. Never pry — that's your own nail plate coming with it.
- Will they fit small nails?
- Twelve widths cover 7 mm to 16 mm — the full table is in the size guide. If you're between sizes, take the smaller one and file the sidewalls.
- Can I shower and cook in them?
- Yes, after the first hour. Wear gloves for washing up — hot water is what loosens glue first.
- What if a nail pops off?
- Clean off the old glue with the file, re-glue, hold thirty seconds. Spare glue is in every box.
