The Claw Room Standard: Apres Gel-X Perfection

At The Claw Room, every set is crafted using genuine Apres Gel-X tips — the gold standard for shape, strength, and comfort.

If you’ve already been sized in Apres Gel-X, your measurements will translate perfectly to our custom press-ons. We also offer size 00 tips for those who need a wider fit — because every claw deserves that perfect curve.

For everyone else...

We still recommend ordering our Claw Room Sizing Kit for the most precise, salon-quality fit. It ensures your claws are measured to perfection before we start creating your custom set.

How to Measure Your Nails Without a Kit

Not ready to order a sizing kit? No problem — you can still find your perfect Claw Room fit at home.

What You’ll Need

  • A soft measuring tape (in millimeters), or
  • A thin strip of paper, a pen, and a ruler

Step 1: Start Fresh

Remove any polish or press-ons. You’re measuring your natural nail bed.

Step 2: Measure the Width (Sidewall to Sidewall)

With a soft measuring tape: Lay it lightly across the widest part of your nail from edge to edge.

With a paper strip: Place the strip straight across the widest point of your nail (do not wrap). Make a tiny mark where each sidewall touches the strip. Lay the strip flat against a ruler and measure the distance between the marks in millimeters.

Step 3: Record Each Nail

Write down the measurement for every finger on both hands — it’s normal if they’re a little different. If you are in between sizes SIZE UP and lightly file them down to your perfect fit.

Step 4: Put your MM measurements or Tip Size thumb-pinky left and right hand in box at checkout.

Below are our apres tips measurements charts and specs

Step 5: Save Your Fit

Snap a photo or save your numbers in your phone. Use them for every future Claw Room order. 💅

Pro Tip: A perfect fit should feel snug at the sides without pressure. If a tip sits on skin or needs force to press down, choose the next size up.
