Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to finger nails. More particularly, it relates to artificial finger nails.

BACKGROUND

Artificial nails, also known as fake nails, false nails, fashion nails, nail insets, nail wraps, or nail extensions, are extensions placed over fingernails as fashion accessories. Some artificial nail designs attempt to mimic the appearance of real fingernails as closely as possible, while others may deliberately stray in favor of an artistic look.

Unlike most manicures, artificial nails require regular upkeep; it is recommended that they are attended to, on average, every two weeks. Nonetheless, their versatility in terms of shape and design and comparatively high durability are some advantages they hold over other types of manicures.

Artificial nails are often inexpensive and are not appropriate for high fashion events. Therefore, there is a need for high fashion artificial nails that can be worn for any occasion.

Referring to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C, an illustrated finger nail enhancer 100 is presented. The finger nail enhancer 100 of FIG. 1A is a view of the top 110 of the finger nail enhancer 100. FIG. 1B presents a bottom 170 of the finger nail enhancer 100 coupled to a surface 200. The presentation of FIG. 1C shows the finger nail enhancer of FIG. 1A coupled to a finger 310 of a hand 300.

The finger nail enhancer 100 is useful for enhancing and making unique stylings for an individual. The finger nail enhancer 100 is a simple, easy, and low cost beautifier and artistry for the individual's finger nail or finger nails. The finger nail enhancer 100 is preferably made of a gold material, but may be made of other materials such as silver, porcelain, etc.

The top 110 of the finger nail enhancer 100 optionally has a banding 112, an emblem 114 and optionally has a inset 116. Additionally and/or optionally, the banding 112 is coupled to the outside 118 of the finger nail enhancer 100. The banding 112 when present is useful for adding protection to the finger nail enhancer 100 from chipping and breaking, further the banding 112 of the finger nail enhancer providing another optionally look to the finger nail enhancer 100.

The emblem 114 of the top 110 of the finger nail enhancer 100 may be any type of emblem or sign. Preferably the emblem 114 is a star light emblem, but may be other emblems such as figures, fruit, etc. The emblem 114 is preferably a stick-on, but may be adhered to the top 110 of the finger nail enhancer 100 by glued, two-sided tape, etc. The emblem 114 is preferably made of a thin plastic material, but may be made of other materials such as cloth, hardened plastic, etc.

The top 110 may also have the inset 116. The inset 1156 is useful for adding additional color or shining to the top 110 of the finger nail enhancer 100. The inset 116 is preferably a gemstone, such as a diamond, opal, emerald, etc., but may be other insets such as sparkle, etc.

The top 110 is contained in a case 150. The case 150 is useful to protect the finger nail enhancer 100 from being damaged or lost. The case 150 has a top 152 and a bottom 154. The top 152 of the case 150 has a cavity 156. The bottom 154 of the case 150 has a cavity 158. The top 152 of the case 150 is coupled to the bottom 154 of the case 150 by a hinge 160. The hinge 160 can be any kind of hinge available.

The bottom 154 of the case 150 has a lock 162. The lock 162 secures the top 152 of the case 150 to the bottom 154 of the case 150 when the top 152 of the case 150 is closed. The bottom 154 of the case 150 has a holder 164 for holding the finger nail enhancer 100 to a predetermined location in the case 150.

The bottom 120 of the finger nail enhance 100 has the band 112, a back 172 and a recessed area 174. The bottom 170 receives an adhering means for securing the bottom 170 of the finger nail enhancer 100 to a surface 200.

The banding 112 when present is useful for adding protection to the finger nail enhancer 100 from chipping and breaking, further the banding 112 of the finger nail enhancer providing another optionally look to the finger nail enhancer 100.

The recessed area 172 of the bottom 170 of the finger nail enhancer 170 is concaved such that it can hold a compound or other adhering means. The recessed area 172 is pressured against the surface 200. The surface 200 is preferably an artificial finger nail but may be any other surface such as a finger nail, a toe nail, etc.

The hand 300 has one or more fingers 302. Each of one or more fingers 302 have a finger nail 304. The finger nail 304 of the hand 300 may be bare, have finger nail polish, have an artificial finger nail attached, etc. Or one or more of the one or more fingers nail 304 may be missing from one or more of the one or more fingers 302.

The finger nail enhancer 100 is positioned and adhered to the surface 200. The finger nail enhancer 100 is coupled to at least one of the one or more finger nails 304 on the one or more fingers 302. The finger nail enhancer 100 is pressured, usually in a pressing of a finger or object onto the finger nail enhancer 100 until the adhering means sets to secure the finger nail enhancer 100 to one or more finger nails 304 of the one or more fingers 302.
