Artificial nail tips

Abstract

The present application relates to artificial nail tips, particularly artificial nail tips that have an attachment area with an axial curvature and two cutout portions which provide a comfortable and conforming fit to a variety of natural nails while maintaining structural integrity and minimizing damage to the natural nail. The axial curvature of the attachment area of the nail tips is of a single radius design. The cutout portions of the nail tips are on both sides of the attachment portion of the nail tips, leaving a center attachment area narrower and thinner than the remaining nail tip. The attachment area of the nail tip is in a shape that allows for conformation to all natural nails, regardless of the length or curvature of the natural nail while maintaining the strength of the natural nail and minimizing damage to the natural nail. The shape of the attachment area of the nail tip allows it to deform to the natural nail without losing structural integrity.

I claim:  
     
         1 . An artificial nail tip, comprising: 
 A body member having a front portion and a back portion, a first side and a second side, said back portion having a first cutout portion on the first side and a second cutout portion on the second side, said first cutout portion and said second cutout portion defining a wing attachment area, said wing attachment area being relatively thinner than said front portion.    
     
     
         2 . The artificial nail tip of  claim 1  wherein said back portion has a certain area and a certain length and wherein said first cutout portion and said second cutout portion are of similar dimensions.  
     
     
         3 . The artificial nail tip of  claim 2  wherein said wing attachment area comprises one-third of the area of the back portion.  
     
     
         4 . The artificial nail tip of  claim 3  wherein the front portion and back portion are delineated by an edge to abut the nail tip to the wearer's natural nail.  
     
     
         5 . The artificial nail tip of  claim 4  wherein the body member has a longitudinal curvature from the back portion to the front portion and an axial curvature from the first side to the second side.
