1. Measuring Your Nails Properly
One of the biggest mistakes is guessing your nail size or skipping the measuring process altogether. This can lead to an awkward fit, lifting, or discomfort. Always measure using a tape or paper method and refer to the brand’s sizing chart!
Here is a step-by-step guide:
- Wrap a piece of paper around your nail to mark the width.
- Measure it with a ruler (in mm or inches)
- Refer to the size chart to find your perfect fit.

It’s easy to get drawn to trendy shapes like stiletto or coffin. While they’re super fun, they may not always be the best fit for your fingers or your lifestyle.
