Artificial nail

An artificial nail, configured to be placed on a real nail of a user, the artificial nail comprising:

• a top surface opposite a bottom surface configured to be secured to a natural nail,
• a proximal edge configured to be secured proximate to a user's natural cuticle, a distal edge opposite the proximal edge and first and second lateral edges disposed between the proximal and distal edges,
• a first arcuate groove extending across the top surface, where the first arcuate groove has i) a first terminal end proximate the first lateral edge, ii) a second terminal end proximate the second lateral edge and iii) a first apex disposed centrally between the first and second terminal ends, where the first apex is disposed closer to the distal edge than the first and second terminal ends,
• a second arcuate groove extending across the top surface, where the second arcuate groove has i) a first terminal end proximate the first lateral edge and proximate the first terminal end of the first arcuate groove, ii) a second terminal end proximate the second lateral edge and proximate the second terminal end of the first arcuate groove and iii) a second apex disposed centrally between the first and second terminal ends, where the second apex is disposed closer to the distal edge than the first and second terminal ends of the second arcuate groove and the second apex is disposed closer to the proximal edge than the first apex, and
• a linear groove extending from a central portion of the distal edge through the first and second grooves such that the linear groove terminates at the second arcuate groove,
• wherein the first and second arcuate grooves and the linear groove are recessed inwardly toward the bottom surface,
• wherein during use, the first and second arcuate grooves and the linear groove are used for guiding a user to draw a pattern with nail polish or to mount a decorative piece.
