An artificial fingernail comprising:
- a) said fingernail having the form of a thin sheet extending longitudinally forwardly between proximal and distal edges,
- b) said sheet having laterally spaced edges, and having arching curvature between said lateral edges,
- c) said proximal edge characterized by a row of serrations, certain of serrations having tapering edges of different lengths, said serrations adapted to be adhesively attached to the upper surface of a natural fingernail and to be concealed thereon,
- d) two of said serrations respectively closest to said laterally spaced edges of the sheet having rearwardly presented terminals that are sufficiently blunt so as not to dangerously penetrate natural nail cuticle.
