Need help sizing custom metal press-ons for a surprise gift + glue recommendations?
Hello lovely nail people! 💕
I hope it's okay to ask a few beginner questions here because I'm completely new to the world of nails.
I'm a goldsmith and currently making a set of hand-engraved metal press-on nails as a surprise gift for a friend.
While researching I discovered that press-ons apparently come in different sizes... and now I'm panicking a little. 😅
My questions are:
How could I estimate my friend's nail sizes without asking her directly? She's very petite if that helps at all.
Also nails have different curves? How important is that? Do press-ons flex enough to adapt to the natural nail, or do they really need to match the curve closely? Mine obviously won't flex because they're metal.
And finally: what nail glue is the best? I made myself a short version (mostly because I couldn't resist trying them 😄), but the glue only lasted about two days. Removing it also left quite a thick, flaky residue.
Thank you so much! 💛
