How to Tell If a Press-On Nail Is Too Flat

The artificial nail can contact at the center while leaving uneven side gaps.

Width can be misleading

Sizing up may increase skin overlap without fixing the curve.

Look for stable contact

The press-on should sit naturally rather than needing pressure at multiple points.

Avoid forcing the sidewalls down

That can create tension and lifting.

Try a different mold

Another shape or collection may have a curve that better matches the natural nail.
