How do I choose the right Pressies size for my child?Updated 8 days ago

Each Pressies set comes with 28 nails in 14 custom sizes, developed and tested to ensure a perfect fit for smaller nail beds. Here's how to find the right size for your child.

How to measure

Using a ruler will always be the most accurate way to measure, but common household objects work as a helpful reference:

  • Average length for XS/S — 11.86 mm = 1 long grain of rice, or the diameter of a pencil eraser
  • Average size for S/M — 15.65 mm = slightly smaller than the diameter of a dime

Size ranges

Pressies styles come in two size ranges — XS/S Round and S/M Round. Check the size range on the style you're interested in before ordering.

Getting the right fit

  • The Pressie should cover the nail just right: not too big, not too small, and no hanging over the sides.
  • Try on different Pressies from the set before applying to find the best fit for each nail.
  • Jot down the sizes on the back of the placemat so you'll always remember which fits each nail.
