Press-On Nail Size & Application Guide
Press-On Nail Size & Application Guide
Shezair press-on nails apply in minutes: prep your natural nails, choose the closest size, apply glue or adhesive tabs, then press each nail firmly for 20 to 30 seconds. With proper prep and care, each reusable handmade set can last up to 3 weeks.
What are press-on nails?
Press-on nails are ready-to-wear artificial nails that attach to your natural nails with adhesive tabs or nail glue. They are a flexible alternative to a salon manicure because they can be applied at home, removed when needed, and reused when cared for properly.
What is included in a Shezair nail set?
Each Shezair set includes 10 handmade press-on nails in your selected size. Most sets also include adhesive tabs, nail glue, a mini nail file, a cuticle stick, alcohol pads, and an instruction card unless the product page states otherwise.
How to Measure Your Nails
- Place a soft measuring tape across the widest part of your natural nail.
- Measure from sidewall to sidewall in millimeters.
- Repeat for each finger because nail beds can vary from hand to hand.
- Compare your measurements with the size chart below.
- If you are between sizes, choose the larger size and gently file the sides for a better fit.
Shezair Size Chart

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 14 mm | 10 mm | 11 mm | 10 mm | 7 mm |
| S | 15 mm | 11 mm | 12 mm | 11 mm | 8 mm |
| M | 16 mm | 12 mm | 13 mm | 12 mm | 9 mm |

How to Apply Press-On Nails
- Prep: Wash and dry your hands, push back cuticles, lightly buff the natural nail surface, and clean each nail with alcohol.
- Size: Match each press-on nail to the correct natural nail before applying adhesive.
- Apply: Use adhesive tabs for temporary wear or nail glue for longer wear.
- Press: Press each nail firmly for 20 to 30 seconds and avoid water immediately after application.
Adhesive Tabs vs Nail Glue
Adhesive tabs are best for short-term wear, photos, events, or when you want easier removal. Nail glue usually gives longer wear when the natural nail is prepared correctly, but removal should be done more carefully.
How to Remove Press-On Nails Safely
Soak your nails in warm soapy water, add a little oil if available, then gently lift from the side with a cuticle stick. Do not rip or force the nails off, because that may damage your natural nails or the handmade design.
How to Reuse and Store Press-On Nails
- Remove each nail gently and clean off adhesive residue.
- Keep the nail surface dry before storing.
- Store the set in its packaging to protect 3D details, pearls, chrome accents, and glossy finishes.
