Nail Shapes and Lengths

November 12, 2022 · In: Press-on Nails

The nail tips I use are all high quality Korean soft gel tips (unless specified otherwise). Soft gel tips are popular because they are thinner and more flexible. This makes them more comfortable to wear and also more durable because the flexibility prevents it from cracking.

Reference photos

Your personal nail bed size will make a difference when selecting your preferred shape/length.

For reference, the below photos are taken on smaller nail beds measuring:
Thumb: size 14mm ; length 14mm
Index/Ring: size 10mm ; length 10mm
Middle: size 11mm ; length 11mm
Pinky: size 8mm ; length 8mm

size = widest part of my nail (see nail measurement instructions)
length = down the middle of my nail from the cuticle to the free edge

Tip: Try zooming out of your browser window to compare the photos against your own nails.


What if you have nail sizes already from my previous nail tips? Read me!
Long nails: If you’d like nails longer than any of the below, please DM me to inquire!
Stiletto Shape: If you like the stiletto shape, please choose the Almond nails and leave a note at check out!


Almond

short (plastic)
short-medium

These are a great medium length for smaller nail beds. If your thumb size is above 17mm+, choose almond medium instead.

medium

Round

extra short (plastic)

*extra short round is a little bit shorter than short, but not by a significant amount. If you prefer soft gel tips, go with the short. If you are quite sensitive about having the shortest length, then go with extra short.*

short

Square/Squoval

extra short

*this is our shortest length out of all shapes. Please be aware if you have large nail beds these might not cover them fully*

ONAIL AI nail lamp | 6 sec fast curing ⚡️ a nail ONAIL AI nail lamp | 6 sec fast curing ⚡️ 

a nail lamp that targets the nails to minimize UV exposure, uses low-temperature curing to prevent heat spikes, AND does 6-second full cures?! say no more! 

so far I’ve tested with a layer of black gel on a nail tip and it did cure fully. however, note that the side lights in the lamp are low so if you have high nail tip holders, the sides might not cure fully. 

use dreamy100 to save $100. thank you @onail for sending this to me 🙏🏻

looking back on some mid-autumn nail designs from looking back on some mid-autumn nail designs from years past~ this years design is my favourite, but I still love the 3D goldfish and bunny design so much! 

the last slide is my old nail packaging which was actually inspired by mooncake boxes. i love how beautiful and elaborate mooncake packaging can be and look forward to seeing them every year. i eventually had to change this up because it would take me 20 mins to cut out each card 🥲.
