Proper sizing of tips should be measured from?

Proper sizing of tips should be measured from sidewall to sidewall because this ensures that the artificial tip fits the natural nail accurately. The sidewalls represent the edges of the natural nail, and measuring across them allows for a precise fit that avoids gaps or overhangs when the tip is applied. A proper fit is crucial for maintaining the integrity and appearance of the manicure, as well as ensuring client comfort.

When tips are aligned with the sidewalls, it also helps in creating a smooth transition to the natural nail, which is essential for the overall aesthetic and durability of the enhancement. Additionally, this measurement technique aids technicians in avoiding potential lifting or separation of the tip from the natural nail, which can occur if the tip is too narrow or too wide.
