Size Matters: Our Nail Size Guide―౨ৎ ₊˚⊹⋆

A helpful guide to get you started on your CARAMELA nail journey!

Natural vs. Structured?

CARAMELA offers two types of nail fits: structured and natural. Natural nail tips are designed for those with natural to flat nail beds, offering comfortable fit that conforms to the shape of the nail. Not suitable for those with curved nail beds.

On the other hand, structured nail tips are best suited for individuals with curved nail beds as they provide added support and arch to accommodate the curve. We do not recommend this fit for flat nail beds, however, a combination of nail glue and sticky tabs can help fill the gap for some.

Nail Sizing˚₊⊹

The Essentials Kit

Not sure about your nail size? New to CARAMELA? Don't worry – we've got you covered! Nail sizing can feel overwhelming, but it's never been easier to find your perfect fit.

We've simplified the process by offering a deluxe sizing kit that includes a set of nails in all sizes along with an application kit and size card.

  • perfect for beginners!
  • no measuring tape involved! (all sizes included)
  • size card + all tools needed for application included!

Measuring Your Nails

Measure your nails at home using a soft fabric tape measure. On your bare natural nails, use the tape measure to measure the width of each nail bed—side wall to side wall. Make sure you are measuring the widest part of your nail bed and if you're in between millimetres, round up.

Please provide measurements in millimetres (mm).

Example:

Right Hand: Thumb: 15mm, Index: 13mm, Middle: 14mm, Ring: 13mm, Pinky: 10mm

Left Hand: Thumb: 15mm, Index: 13mm, Middle: 14mm, Ring: 13mm, Pinky: 10mm

*Please note, not all measuring tapes/rulers are the exact same and may be off by 1-2 mm. This may lead to inaccurate sizing in reference to our charts since each mm makes a difference in nail size. Our sizing kits are the preferred and most accurate method to find your best fit!
