Answer

Measure with a quarter.

Thumb
Middle 3
Pinky
  1. Grab a quarter. Put a US quarter on a flat table, just above where your fingertips will go.
  2. Lay your hand flat. Nails facing up, fingers flat on the table. Hold your phone straight above your hand, not at an angle, and don’t zoom.
  3. Take 3 photos. Your thumb on its own, your middle 3 fingers together, and your pinky on its own. Then do the same with your other hand.
  4. Send them to Christena. Email or text your photos (with your set code if it’s a custom set). She works out your sizes for you.

Quick tips: take the photos in daylight, keep the whole quarter in every photo, and keep your fingers flat on the table.

Why a quarter? A quarter is always the same size, so Christena can measure every nail from your photo.
