Abstract: The invention provides a novel faux fingernail device to provide an efficient finger or toe ring to which a faux fingernail is slidably attachable. The fingernail slides into grooves along the sides and across the top of the ring into which the fingernail can slide and which holds the fingernail.

Abstract: The Nail Ring provided by the present invention relates to an artificial nail device and more particularly to a finger or toe ring to which a faux fingernail is integrally attached as used to create a set of manicured nails in little time and with minimal effort. The Nail Ring comprises a ring which fits around the wearer's finger below the base of the natural nail, onto which an artificial fingernail may integrally be attached and the faux fingernail may specifically be configured to rest flush over the user's natural nail. The Nail Ring may be designed to rest above the upper knuckle, directly below the nail plate and may preferably be manufactured of lightweight and flexible plastic material. The Nail Ring may comprise a decorated support portion.
