Abstract: An artificial nail tip having a front portion and a back portion is disclosed. The back portion is relatively thinner as compared to the front portion defining an attachment area where the artificial nail tip is attached to a user's natural nail. A substantially "X" shaped cutout is defined in the back portion to provide strength to the artificial nail as well as reducing the chance of cracking or weakening the artificial nail tip during conforming the nail tip to the wearer's natural nail.
