US 5,450,864 A · Artificial nail tips

Abstract

The present application relates to artificial nail tips, particularly artificial nail tips which have an attachment area with an axial curvature and a cut-out portion which provide a comfortable and conforming fit to a variety of natural nails while maintaining structural integrity. The axial curvature of the attachment area of the nail tips is of a dual radius design which provides a more comfortable and conformable fit while helping to maintain the structural integrity of the nail tip. The cut-out portion of the nail tips is of a "V" shape which allows the nail tip attachment area to deform with less structural resistance while maintaining structural integrity. It is preferable that the V shaped cut out be at least slightly rounded at its apex to provide even greater structural integrity when the nail tip is deformed.
