(d) a thickness portion entirely filling the concavity and having an outer surface arranged so that the thickness of the base end portion of the nail body is thicker than that of the front end portion of the nail body;
(e) a base portion partially filling the concavity and having a convexly curved surface abutting and complementary to at least a portion of the concavely curved back surface of the nail body;
(f) a thick peripheral edge, circumferencing the concavity, having a thickness greater than the peripheral edge of the nail body;
(3) a nail tip positioning assistance tool;
(4) wherein the nail tip positioning assistance tool is arranged on any one of:
(a) the thickness portion of the nail body;
(b) the thick peripheral edge of the nail body;
