To measure your nail bed, especially for purposes like getting the correct size of artificial nails, you can follow these steps:
Here’s a breakdown of how to measure the width of your nail bed, which is the most common measurement needed:
-
Prepare Your Nail: Place Scotch tape around the widest part of your nail.
-
Mark the Sidewalls: Use a pen to mark where your nail's sidewalls are on the tape.
-
Measure the Tape: Remove the tape and stick it to a flat surface.
-
Use a Ruler: Measure the distance between the two pen marks on the tape with a ruler. This measurement represents the width of your nail bed at its widest point.
