Size guide
Preset kits come in three combinations. Every kit contains two of each tip listed, one for each hand, and the sizes always run thumb to pinky.
Preset press-on sizes
| Kit | Thumb | Index | Middle | Ring | Pinky |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 2 | 5 | 4 | 6 | 9 |
| Medium | 1 | 5 | 4 | 6 | 8 |
| Large | 0 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 7 |
If you are between sizes, choose the larger kit. Excess material can be gently filed for a better fit, while a tip that is too small cannot be enlarged. Custom sizing is also available through The Fitting Room.
What the numbers do and do not mean
An Aprés tip number has a fixed dimension within a particular shape and length. The same numbered tip does not become a different width because it sits in a small, medium or large kit. Widths also differ between shapes and lengths, so your size in one box may not transfer exactly to another.
| Box | Tip | Approximate flat width |
|---|---|---|
| Natural Almond Medium | 0 | 13.5 mm |
| Natural Square Long | 0 | 12.5 mm |
Current Aprés boxes also contain half sizes and size 00 for more exact fitting. Preset kits use whole numbers; half sizes are reserved for custom orders and sizing appointments.
Packaging layout
Each kit is laid out as two mirrored hands, left pinky to left thumb, then right thumb to right pinky.
- SMALL: 9 – 6 – 4 – 5 – 2 | 2 – 5 – 4 – 6 – 9
- MEDIUM: 8 – 6 – 4 – 5 – 1 | 1 – 5 – 4 – 6 – 8
- LARGE: 7 – 5 – 3 – 4 – 0 | 0 – 4 – 3 – 5 – 7
Available in

Three kit sizes across two boxes gives six variations of every design.
