I was confused when I first started because I didn't know that ballerina even existed. Coffin, to me, are completely straight sided just like a coffin, while ballerina has a slight tapered edge just like the tip of a ballet shoe has a more tapered, narrow shape. With sizing, I only do custom 10 piece sets, so I sell sizing kits for $5 each, then that $5 comes back off of their total on a second order. That way I can get their exact, custom sizes, plus giving them that $5 back gives them more of an incentive to order again. I was asked by one of my regular customers to make a 24pc set for a friend of hers as a surprise Christmas gift because she loves the sets that I have made for my regular. I was SO confused on which sizes to include more of, how to design them, etc. I watched about a dozen videos on 24pc sets before I started to understand exactly what I needed to do. I know that having customers size their own nails can be confusing for everyone involved and 20-24 piece sets can be a waste of time and material since half of them get thrown away. But as you said, it's a personal preference. I prefer sizing kits because it saves me even more headache, confusion and material, plus I'm lazy and I don't want to put extra work on myself if I can avoid it. Not going to lie. 😂 You are amazing at what you do though. Advice and nails alike. ❤

The reason for the duplicate sizes is because for most people the ring & pointer finger take the same number. So for 2 hands you'd use 4 of that same nail size. Its really a nice feature. My favorite nail company should do this. I literally don't have anymore of that 1 nail size.

Thank you for this!! I’ve been learning all I can about doing nails 💅🏼❤️

The best shapes and best kind of vids love you 🥰

Thank you so much, very helpful, I was so confused with sizing but this helped so much

Im just working towards starting my own press on business. N this helped seriously allot.

Your vids are always helpful

Great video! Helped me a lot while I’m starting up my press on business. Thanks!

Thank u so much for this video! I’m planning to start a press on nail business but I have no idea how I’ll lengthen and shape a fake nail properly

⚰ Coffin does not have a round curve. Ballerina has a round shape 🩰. I was really confused when I started my press on business. But its what ever you want to call it at least your showing your customers the shape that they can choose from. You make beautiful nails 💅 😍

not finished the video yet but the info so far is AMAZINGG. Thanksss

@5:45 1. coffin 2. Ballerina 3. Stiletto 4. Almond 5. Coffin-square

You have your ballerina and Coffin mixed up, there is a definite distinction, Coffin is literally the shape of a Coffin, Ballerina is the shape of a ballet shoe (slightly bowed sides and rounded corners) it's as easy way to remember them :)

Omg this help me so much😗

The coffin and ballerina both have cut of tips, but the coffin i s a bit curved on the sides, while ballerina is more straight line from root to tip :D

OMG THANK YOOUUUU 💜✨

Where do you get the 18mm wide nails? All I can source are 15mm as the widest :(

I noticed that my nail is not that flexible after putting gel on them. Do you choose a nail tip that is little bigger or? What's your advice on this ?

Thanks for the information

When you went through and measured all your nail sizes. how do you know whats xs, small, medium, or large when measuring? I don't know if Im just thinking to hard about it or what lol.

This is probably a dumb question but do you count the first line when counting the mm lines? So the line the nail is lined up with is considered as one? Or the one after would be considered one?

How do you know how short to make the nail tips? Like when you cut down a nail, how do you know what length is short, medium, long? Idk if this makes sense but I can’t seem to find anyone explaining how to figure out nail lengths

Where are your actual cards from that you put the nails on please 😊

Can someone get it like well shapes
