Why It Suits Formal Occasions
The black lace reads as classic rather than loud, so it works for a cocktail evening, a wedding guest outfit or a night at the theatre. The medium almond length is practical enough for daily wear afterward. It belongs with our other timeless and elegant press on nails. Handmade in small batches, reusable and $30.
The Lace Work Up Close
Each lace line is painted by hand in tiny scallops that follow the curve of the tip, with a little bow shape at the centre. The dots are placed one by one across the white so they look like a sheer tulle. The nude base is soft and see through, and the finish is high gloss.
Inside Your Kit
A full set of reusable almond nails, adhesive tabs and nail glue, a mini file and buffer, a cuticle stick and a prep pad. Measure each natural nail across its widest point and compare with our sizing chart to pick XS, S, M or L.
Wearing Them
Clean, buff and wipe each nail. Tabs give a day or two, glue gives a week or more. Press from cuticle to tip and hold for a few seconds. Our nail prep guide walks you through it.
White tips, black lace and a little polka dot charm. Elegant Noir is handmade and reusable.

| S | 15 | 11 | 12 | 11 | 9 |

Widths are measured across the widest part of each nail. Everyone's nails are different, so always measure before you choose.
Example
- Thumb 15
- Index 11
- Middle 12
- Ring 11
- Pinky 9
Every number matches the S row, so this person would choose S.
Which size am I?
Most of my nails match one row
That's your size. Pick it on the product page and you're done.
I'm between two sizes
Choose the bigger size and gently file the sides to fit. A nail file comes in every kit. A nail that's slightly too wide can be filed down, but one that's too narrow can't be made bigger.
My nails match different rows
Go with the size that matches most of your nails. If it's a tie, choose the bigger one.
My nails are smaller than XS or wider than L

Sizing questions
How do I measure my nail size for press on nails?
Lay a soft tape measure across the widest part of each nail, from the left edge to the right edge, and note the number in mm. Then match your numbers to the XS, S, M or L row in our size chart.
What size press on nails should I get?
Choose the size where most of your nail widths match the chart. Everyone's nails are different, so it's worth measuring rather than guessing.
What are press on nail sizes in mm?
Our sizes are based on the width of each nail at its widest point. Thumb widths are 14 mm for XS, 15 mm for S, 16 mm for M and 17 mm for L, and every size has its own width for each finger. See the full chart above.
What if I'm between sizes?
Pick the bigger size and file the sides to fit. Every kit comes with a nail file.
Can I measure with a normal ruler?
Yes. Press a strip of sticky tape across your nail, mark both edges with a pen, then lay the tape flat on a ruler and measure between the marks.
Should I measure both hands?
Measuring one hand is usually enough, as most people's hands are very close in size. If you know one hand has wider nails, measure that hand and size for it.
