Abstract: An artificial nail tip includes a snap-off portion that can be removed in order to better attach the nail tip to problem nails. The artificial nail tip has a forward section that normally extends beyond the front edge of the nail plate and a thinner rear section, attached to the front section, which is attachable with adhesive to the nail plate. A series of perforations incorporated in the rear section permits a portion of the rear section to be snapped off. Removal of the removable portion permits the nail tip to be flattened and more efficiently and effectively attached to certain types of problem nails. It allows the remaining portion of the nail plate to be exposed to the air thereby decreasing the possibility of fungus infections such as are common with prior art artificial nail tips.
