About Gel-X Tips


Gel-X tips are made out of soft gel and usually come in 14 sizes, including half sizes (4.5, 5.5, and 6.5), to ensure a better fit for various nail bed shapes and sizes.
The tips also feature a structural redesign with a thinner base and thicker free edge for a more natural and durable finish.

How to Size


Sizing is crucial to ensuring you love your nails and that your set fits perfectly.


Get your sizes at home by using the instructions below or by purchasing a sizing kit!

 

Please keep in mind sizing is your responsibility, and there will be no refunds issued for incorrect sizes provided.

 

If you feel unsure about the tape method, I highly recommend purchasing a physical sizing kit to avoid any issues with sizing.


Step 1

 

Using a soft measuring tape, lay it flat across the widest part of your nail (the inner curvature). Make sure the measuring tape is pulled tight to account for any curves on your nail. Write down the width of each nail in millimeters at the widest part. 

 

OR

 

Lay a piece of tape across the widest part of your nail and press down to account for any curvature. Mark the edges of your nail on the tape with a pen. Place the tape on a flat surface and measure the distance between each mark in millimeters using a measuring tape or ruler. Do this for each nail and both hands.

Step 2

 

Once you’ve recorded the width of your nails in millimeters, these are the numbers you will enter when you go to order a nail set.

Simply enter them in order of: Thumb Index Middle Ring Pinky. (EX: 2 4.5 4 6 8), for both hands.


Things to REMEMBER:

 

  • If you are unsure about the tape method, order a sizing kit to be safe.
  • If you are in between sizes, it is best to size up and then file down to fit your nail.
  • When adding nail sets to your cart, leave your measurements in the order of: Thumb Index Middle Ring Pinky. (EX: 2 4.5 4 6 8)
  • If you are still unsure about your measurements, please email thepressedlab@aol.com, or submit the form below.
