How to Choose Press-On Nails for Wide Nails: Avoid These 3 Mistakes

For girls who love beauty, press on nails is essential. However, choosing a suitable press on nails requires many considerations, especially for people with wide nail beds. Today we will introduce 3 mistakes that people with wide nail beds must avoid when choosing pretty press on nails.

 

 

 

Soft ruler measurement method

Start from the widest part of the left nail groove to the far right, and measure around the widest part of the nail surface with a tape measure. (Unit: mm. Be sure to include the arc in the measurement)

 

 

Paper towel measurement method

Prepare paper towels and ruler

Wrap the nail with a tissue, then mark the nail groove on the left side of the nail, and do the same on the right side. Note that you should measure from the widest part of the nail surface, and then lay the tissue flat on the table and measure with the ruler. (Unit: mm) Note that the arc should be included in the measurement, and the tissue should be pressed flat against the nail surface)

 

 

 

 

1. Ignoring Type A Adaptation

When choosing press on nails, many people only focus on the style, without considering whether the nail shape is suitable for their wide nails. For example, square press on nails are fashionable and neat, but if the nails are wide, directly choosing square press on nails will make your nails wider and flatter, making your fingers look thicker.

Wide nails are more suitable for rounder nail shapes, such as oval press on nails. This can make the fingers look longer visually. Almond press on nails are also OK.

 

 

2. Improper size selection

It is also a common problem that the size of the press on nails is not suitable. Some people think that it is okay if the press on nails are slightly larger, as long as they can be worn. But in fact, if the press on nails are too large, they cannot fit the nails tightly and are easy to shake on the nails, which will cause the risk of falling off at any time and affect hand activities, such as typing, holding things, etc. On the contrary, if the press on nails are too small, they will squeeze the nails urgently, which will cause damage to the nails over time.

So before buying press on nails, you must accurately measure the width of your nails. Above we list two ways to measure the size of nails. If you don't know the size, you can measure it yourself. Then choose the appropriate press on nails according to your nail size.

 

3. Blindly following the trend of style design

Many people do not consider the characteristics of their wide nails when buying press on nails, and blindly follow the trend. For example, some overly complex and dense patterns will make the already wide nails look more messy, and the particularly narrow and long French press on nails will appear out of proportion when placed on wide nails.

Wide nails are suitable for simple and elegant styles, such as solid color press on nails, vertical fine stripes, gradient lines and other designs are all good choices.

 

 

 

 

In short, when people with wide nails choose press on nails, they can easily find press on nails that suit them by avoiding these three common mistakes, focusing on nail type adaptation, choosing the right size, and choosing the right style.
