1.Chose NAIL Shapes
When choosing a nail shape and length , it’s important to take into account the size of your natural nail bed. By doing so, you can ensure a harmonious and flattering look for your nails.
Round:
- Fit For: Ideal for people with short fingers or small hands. The rounded tip elongates the fingers, creating a sleek appearance.
- Personality: Practical and classic, round nails are often favored by people who want low-maintenance yet polished nails.
Almond:
- Fit For: Great for people with slim, long fingers or those looking to lengthen the appearance of their fingers.
- Personality: Creative and unique, almond-shaped nails are often chosen by those who like to stand out with a trendy yet sophisticated look.
Stiletto:
- Fit For: People who want to make a statement. Stiletto nails require strength, either natural or through enhancements.
- Personality: Creative and confident, stiletto nails are often chosen by those who love to experiment with daring, avant-garde styles.
Coffin:
- Fit For: Those with long, strong nails or people who wear acrylics. This shape suits long fingers.
- Personality: Trendy and fashion-forward, people with coffin nails are often bold and daring.
Square:
- Fit For: People with long fingers and wide nail beds. The straight edges of square nails balance the length of the fingers.
- Personality: Often preferred by those who like structure, stability, and a more conservative, classic look.
Oval:
- Fit For: Best for those with wide nail beds or people looking to soften the appearance of their hands. Oval nails add elegance and elongate fingers.
- Personality: Elegant and refined, those who prefer oval nails tend to lean towards more traditional styles.
2.How to measure size
For the most precise results, measure your natural nails without any polish or extensions.
- Lay a strip of tape over the widest part of your nail.
- Mark the edges from sidewall to sidewall using a pen.
- Remove the tape and record the width in millimeters.
- Repeat the process for each finger.
To order a set of Mini Ami Nails, you must know your nail measurements. How to determine your size:
Option One (Reccomended):
Purchase a sizing kit.
A sizing kit includes every nail size (#’s 00-9) in the shape of your choice (e.g. short coffin) for you to try and determine your prefect fit.
Once you know your nail sizses/numbers, you can correspond those to Mini Ami’s standardized sizes (XS,S,M,L,XL) as listed in the sizing chart below or order a custom size at checkout.
Option Two:
Measure your nails.
Please be aware that there is more room for error when measuring your nails versus using a sizing kit, and could lead to you ordering nails that do not fit correctly.
How to Measure your Nails in Milimeters:
Step 1
Lay a soft measuring tape over the widest part of your nail pulling down tight to account for any curve of your nail.
Note the width of each nail in milimeters for each finger, at the widest part.
OR
Stick a piece of tape across the widest part of your nail pressing down to account for any curvature.
Pull the tape off your nail and measure the distance between your marks of each nail (thumb, index, middle, ring and pinky) with a measuring tape or ruler in millimeters.
Step 2
Now that you’ve recorded the width (accounting for any curve) of your nails in millimeters, use the below chart to determine your individual nail numbers (00-9) and the corresponding size kit to select (XS, S, M, L, XL).
*If you are between sizes it is safer to go up one size.
*If none of the standard sizes fit your nail measurements, select “custom” and leave your measurements at checkout in the instruction box.
(Thumb, Index, Middle, Ring, Pinky) – Example: Right: 16mm, 12mm, 15mm, 12mm, 10mm. Left: 16mm, 12mm, 15mm, 12mm, 10mm.
