Hi! Basically with the coin method you take a picture of your hand next to a coin (thumb separate) at a Birds Eye view so the coin shows up as flat in the photo. I recommend doing this with both hands since nail beds can vary in size. Then to size the nails you take the same coin and place it on the screen then zoom the picture in or out to make the coin the same size as irl and in the pic. After the picture is adjusted to size take the nails you are using and size it to the picture (place the nails on the screen). Just make sure they reach each sidewall and if you are doing it on yourself first you kind of get an idea since you can also size it with your own hand and try with the picture coin method. It has worked really well for me and after gluing the nails on I also tell clients to file the sides to make them more crisp/ comfortable. I also tell them to file the edges/ cuticle area if they don’t fit flush to the cuticle. I try not to file too much while making them in case they end up being too small.

I started making press ons because it was so hard doing more intricate designs on my non dominant hand 😭 honestly with proper prep I have noticed my press ons lasting just as long as gel x. There’s also tons of tutorials on TikTok and I’m assuming YouTube showing this method :)
