Hey besties! ✨ It's your girl from Fette here, spilling the tea on finding your perfect press-on nail length!

 

Know Your Measurements

Grab a ruler and measure your natural nail beds from cuticle to tip. Most people measure between 11-15mm. This little number is your foundation for choosing press-ons that actually STAY ON! *Check out our measurement tutorial to follow step-by-step!

 

The Too-Short Situation 🚫

If you choose press-ons shorter than your natural nail beds, they won't cover your nails completely. So if your nail beds are 13mm, those cute 10mm minis will leave your natural nail exposed at the tip. Not the vibe!

 

The Too-Long Struggle 😫

We all love drama, but there's a science to how long you can go! If your nail beds are 13mm, going beyond 26mm (double your nail bed length) is asking for pop-offs and potential injuries when they catch on everything.

 

Finding Your Sweet Spot 💅

Here's our Fette formula:

Newbie friendly: Your nail bed length + 2-3mm (13mm beds = 15-16mm total)

Everyday slay: Your nail bed length + 4-7mm (13mm beds = 17-20mm total)

Special occasion: Up to double your nail bed length MAX (13mm beds = up to 26mm) - unless you are a seasoned pro and feel completely comfortable with them!


Pro Tip for Longevity 💯

The longer you go, the more prep matters! Always buff, use alcohol wipe, and apply primer. Longer lengths need extra adhesive near the tips.

 

All Fette press-ons list their exact measurements, so you can shop with confidence! Our collections come in multiple length options for your perfect match.

Remember, the perfect nail length isn't just about looks – it's where style meets functionality. Because nothing ruins a good nail day faster than not being able to open your cute purse or unbutton these jeans when you need to!

 

xoxo, Team Fette
