[Complete explanation] How to choose the right nail tip size in order of busyness

Over the past decade, the number of people who regularly practice nail art has increased significantly.
We often see our hands, so having beautiful nails can lift your spirits and motivate you to work every day.
There are many ways to enjoy nails, such as nail polish, gel nails, and nail tips, but nail tips are among them and even beginners can easily try out elaborate nail designs!

However, the biggest challenge before purchasing is to measure the size of the nail tip.
To sum up, the best and most reliable way to measure is to order a size confirmation chip and measure it, but this can be quite busy and time-consuming.

EVERNAIL, a nail tip specialty store with over 100 designs, will explain how to choose the right size for your nail tips.
We'll introduce how to choose the perfect gift for everyone, from those who are busy to those who absolutely don't want to fail! We'll also cover some insider tips in the second half, so be sure to read until the end!

[For those who are too busy] How to find the size in 1 second

Specify the average size of the nail tip

If you're in a situation where you need to buy nail tips now or you won't make it in time for an important event, or you don't have anything to measure with while you're out, please refer to this method.
Nail tips come in sizes 0 to 9, and in most cases you specify the size when ordering, but the average sizes for Japanese women are 2, 5, 4, 6, and 8, starting from the thumb.
If you are unable to measure, one option would be to specify the size here.

However, even among women, there is considerable individual variation in the size of their hands and the thickness of their fingers, so the size of the nails on those fingers also varies considerably.
It would be a shame if you couldn't use the cutely designed nail tips, so I don't really recommend this method.

Buy a lot of nail tips

This article is also for those who feel like they need to buy nail tips today or they won't make it in time for an important event!
This method involves purchasing a set of approximately 20 nail tips in different sizes, and then choosing the tip that fits your nail size when wearing them.

This is a method that is less likely to fail, but if I were to list some disadvantages,
The more the quantity, the higher the price
- There is a high possibility that the final design will be different from what you originally imagined (for example, the design you wanted for your ring finger may only fit on your index finger).
Possible reasons include:
If you want to be particular about the design, it's best to specify the size before purchasing so you can get nails that are closer to your image!

[For those who want to order today] How to measure size using items at home

How to measure with a tape measure

This method is recommended for those who have a tape measure on hand and don't have time to order a size check chip.

Please use a soft tape measure, such as that used for fitting underwear, rather than a hard one used to measure furniture.
If you only have the hard type, see below for how to measure using masking tape.

How to measure

①Look closely at your nail and find the "widest part"
② Place the 0mm mark on the widest part of the tape measure.
③ Follow the curve of the nail surface and measure how many millimeters it ends at
④ Make a note of the size (number) of the nail tip that matches the width you measured. If it is slightly overhanging, such as 11.4mm, we recommend choosing a slightly larger nail tip, such as 12mm!
⑤Even if the index finger on your other hand is the same, it may be a different size! Don't forget to measure it!

How to measure using masking tape

This method is also recommended for those who don't have time to order a size confirmation chip and have masking tape, a pen, and a ruler on hand.

How to measure

The method for measuring this is the same as using a tape measure.
1. Look closely at your nail and find the widest part, then apply the masking tape to the nail. Make sure to apply it snugly, following the curve of the nail to avoid any wrinkles.
② Mark the boundary line of the widest part of the nail with a pen.
③ Mark the end point
4. Peel off the masking tape and re-stick it on a flat surface such as a desk, and measure the length between the marks with a ruler.
⑤Note down the chip size (number) that matches the measured width.
If it is slightly protruding, such as 11.4mm, we recommend choosing a slightly larger nail tip, such as 12mm!
⑥Even if the index finger on your other hand is the same, it may be a different size! Don't forget to measure it!

How to measure with a ruler app

Please refer to this if you are out and about and do not have a ruler or other measuring tool.

How to measure

① Install an app that displays a ruler on the screen.
② Place your nail on the screen and measure the widest part of your nail.
③ Make a note of the size (number) of the nail tip that matches the width you measured. If it is slightly overhanging, such as 11.4mm, we recommend choosing a slightly larger nail tip, such as 12mm!
④Even if the index finger on your other hand is the same, it may be a different size! Don't forget to measure it!

However, I don't recommend this method. Here are some reasons why:
・There is no problem in measuring the thickness of the fingertip, but the width of the nail is narrower than the finger, so it becomes difficult to measure.
・The surface of the nail is curved, so it is necessary to measure the curve as well, but the ruler app can only measure the linear length.
That's why.

If you don't have a measuring tape or masking tape and you need nail tips right away, we recommend purchasing a product that comes with a large number of nail tips, as mentioned above.

How to measure with a size check chip

This method is recommended for those who have time to order a size confirmation tip or for those who absolutely do not want to make a mistake when choosing the nail tip size. This is the best and most reliable way to measure size ♪

How to measure

① Please order nail tips to check the size.

②You may receive multiple types of nail tips depending on the length of your nails, so please choose the length and type of nail tip you prefer.
(At EVERNAIL, a nail tip specialty store, we have two types: "Oval Medium" and "Round Short"!)
3. Press the size check tip firmly against the surface of your nail. Make sure it fits perfectly across the width of your nail and note down the size.
④Even if the index finger on your other hand is the same, it may be a different size! Don't forget to measure it!

At EVERNAIL, a nail tip specialty store, your first size confirmation tip is free and shipped the same day !
This is a brand that is recommended for busy people.
Please rest assured that there is no obligation to purchase nail tips afterwards.

[For those who have nail tips] How to adjust the size yourself

If the nail tip is small

When I tried fitting the nail tips to my nails, they looked really small and awkward...!
In that case, first contact your place of purchase.
If you have not applied adhesive tape or glue to the nail tips, you may be able to request a return or exchange.
Whether it's free or paid varies depending on the store, so please check that as well.

At EVERNAIL, a nail tip specialty store, you can use our lost tip re-creation service to recreate the same design in a different size, starting from just one tip.
(500 yen (tax included) per bottle, plus an additional 180 yen (tax included) for shipping)
What's more, if you add the loss compensation service before purchasing, you can have three nail tips remade for just 500 yen (tax included)! (Shipping costs of 180 yen (tax included) will be charged separately.)

Even in the case of clothing, depending on the store, you may be able to return the item you have and exchange it for a different size if the tag is still attached, but as a general rule, returns for personal reasons are not allowed.
It is important to carefully check the size of the nail tips.

If the nail tip is too large

If the nail tip is too big, just file it down a little at a time until it fits your nail perfectly!

What you need

・Nail file
- Sponge file or buffer (a fine-toothed nail file for polishing the surface of the nail)
・Nail tip stand (this is very useful!)
You can purchase them at 100 yen shops, the nail section of variety stores, or online shopping sites.

How to cut

① Before filing, press the nail tip against your nail and carefully check which parts are sticking out and how much.
② Use a nail file to gradually file down
③ After filing down a little, press the nail tip against your nail again to check the size.
④ Repeat steps ② and ③ until it fits snugly on your nail.
⑤ Use a nail file to file the base of your nails to fit the shape of your nail line.
⑥ After slightly filing down the nail, press the nail tip against the nail again to check the size.
⑦ Repeat steps ⑤ and ⑥ until it fits snugly on your nail.
8. Smooth out any rough burrs in the cut area with a sponge file or buffer.

[Choosing the right size is super important] Here's why

If the tip does not fit your nail properly, it may come off or get lost.

If you try to force the nail tip onto your nail while it is still too large for your natural nail, the nail tip will inevitably float.
Even if the gap looks very small, water can get in or the nail tips can get caught on hair or other objects, making them more likely to come off.

It clearly gives the impression of fake nails.

If the nail tip is too large for your natural nail, it will look strange, as if there is a foreign object stuck to it.
On the other hand, if the nail tips are small, your natural nails will be visible through the gaps, making it difficult to look neat.

Introducing a secret trick to make it even less likely to fail

Choose a nude color that is close to the color of your nails

I definitely don't want to make a mistake when buying nail tips for the first time...!
I'm clumsy, so I'm worried about whether I can file the nail tips properly...!
Here are some tips we recommend for you ♡


The key is to choose a nude color that is close to the color of your nails !
・Even if the nail tip is not filed straight or filed a little too far, it is not noticeable.
・You won't feel any foreign body sensation from the false nails
・The design is suitable for many occasions, such as the workplace, so it is highly recommended for first-time buyers.
There are benefits such as:


Introducing nude colored nail tips recommended by nail tip specialist store EVERNAIL ♡

Office Pink
This is the most popular design for pink nail tips.
The muted pink gives it a mature look, but the subtle French design of the gold, magnets, and large silver glitter give it a playful feel!

Magnet No.009
The pale pink design gives it a clean and transparent feel!
The fine, deep sparkle of the magnet, rather than glitter, and the subtle gold French detailing on the tip of the nail give it a very elegant finish.

Christmas No.003
This is a recommended design for those looking for a design that will blend in with their natural nails.
Although it has a formal feel, the ribbon, large glitter and champagne gold on the ring finger are sure to make you feel special.

Shell Pink

This design is recommended for those looking for a cute and sweet design.
The small, ring-like pearls give it a three-dimensional look, while the shell parts and gold leaf make it luxurious and suitable for the office as well - it's the best of both worlds!

Glass French Pink
This is a recommended design for those looking for a design that will blend in with their natural nails.
It has a simple and calm atmosphere, but the glass French tip on the tip sparkles every time you move, making it fun to look at your hands.

Why we recommend EVERNAIL nail tips to busy people

It can be used for 3 consecutive weeks, so you can be free from long hours at the nail salon or doing your own nails!

Do you know how long the average stay at a gel nail salon is? Including the time it takes to remove the gel, it can take about two and a half hours for nails with parts or elaborate designs, and about three and a half hours if you also want to have your nails sculpted (lengthened)!
Even a professional would take that long, so it would take even longer if you're not used to doing your nails yourself.

However, with EVERNAIL, all you have to do is shape the nail tips with a nail file, apply adhesive, and attach them to your nails!
Even if it's your first time, you can transform all your fingers into salon-quality nails in just 30 minutes !

Also, did you know that for hygienic reasons, nail tips must be removed the night they are worn?
If you use EVERNAIL, the gap between your natural nail and the tip is filled with a special high-viscosity glue to prevent water from getting in, which can cause unsanitary conditions, so there are no hygiene issues even if you wear it for 3 weeks!

There's no need to worry about the tip coming off, so there's no need to bother putting it back on!

The biggest weakness of nail tips is
"Nail tips coming off during daily activities"
"And then you lose your nail tips without realizing it."
With EVERNAIL, you don't have to worry about that!
The special high-viscosity glue fills the gap between your natural nail and the tip, ensuring a secure fit.
When removing them, you can easily do so by dipping them in slightly hot water, so there is no need to worry about damaging your natural nails.

The special tip bends when heated to fit your nails perfectly!

Evergel Tips are made using a unique process that is currently under patent application. When heated with a hair dryer, they soften and fit the curves of your nails better than regular nail tips!
This makes shaping your nail tips easier and quicker.

You can even order your favorite colors and designs!

Our professional nail artists at EVERNAIL can create one-of-a-kind nail tips to suit your needs!

"I wish No. 00 Nail Polish was a little more greenish blue..."

"I want to use the No. 00 design on just my thumb, and combine the No. 00 design on the other fingers."

"I saw this nail design on Instagram and I want you to make it using EVERNAIL tips!"

Requests such as these are also possible!
