Abstract
The mechanically coupled nail tip includes a base and a tip. The base is attached to the natural nail by an adhesive, and the tip is attached to the base by mechanical coupling. Since the tip is held mechanically and not by an adhesive, the tip can be easily snapped on and off from the base.
Claims41
An artificial nail system, comprising:
- a base that comprises a base top side, a base bottom side, and one or more first mechanical features configured to receive one or more corresponding second mechanical features on a tip, wherein:
- the base bottom side is configured to be attached to a natural nail and the tip, the tip comprising a tip top side, a tip bottom side, and the one or more corresponding second mechanical features, wherein:
- the one or more second mechanical features of the tip cooperate with the one or more first mechanical features of the base to fit together to couple the tip onto the base such that the tip bottom side becomes attached to the base top side so that there is no relative movement between the base and the tip after attachment, and
- upon attachment to the base, the tip completely covers the base such that the base is no longer visible.

A method of applying an artificial nail system, comprising:
- attaching a base to a natural nail, wherein the base comprises one or more first mechanical features and has a base top side and a base bottom side, and wherein the base bottom side contacts the natural nail;
- and
- attaching a tip to the base, wherein the tip comprises one or more second mechanical features and has a tip top side and a tip bottom side, wherein the one or more second mechanical features of the tip cooperate with the one or more first mechanical features of the base to couple the tip onto the base such that the tip bottom side contacts the base bottom side so that there is no relative movement between the base and the tip after attachment, and wherein upon attachment to the base, the tip completely covers the base such that the base is no longer visible.
