There is provided an artificial nail tip for attaching onto a nail. The artificial nail tip comprises a nail bed end and a free end that are connected by a middle nail portion. The thickness of the artificial nail tip is a gradient that is thinnest at the nail bed end and thickest at the free end and gradually increases in thickness in the middle nail portion from the nail bed end to the free end. The artificial nail tip comprises a consistent translucent mixture throughout the artificial nail tip. Due to the thickness gradient and the translucent mixture, the artificial nail tip incorporates and displays a color gradientan ombr effectthat conveys a clear color at the nail bed end and an opaque color at the free end and increases in opacity in the middle nail portion from the nail bed end to the free end.

An artificial nail has a top surface, a portion of the top surface is recessed inwardly to form a plurality of guiding grooves, and the plurality of guiding grooves are used for guiding a user to draw a pattern or mount a decorative piece on the top surface of the artificial nail. The artificial nail comprises: a first edge configured to be disposed near a natural cuticle of the real nail; a second edge opposite to the first edge; a third edge and a fourth edge that are connected between the first edge and the second edge and are spaced apart from each other. The plurality of guiding grooves comprise a first curved groove and a second curved groove; each of the first curved groove and the second curved groove has one end disposed near the third edge and the other end disposed near the fourth edge.

A nail glue composition includes at least one cyanoacrylate of the formula CH.sub.2C(CN)COOR, an anionic stabiliser, and an antioxidant stabiliser comprising at least one stabiliser compound selected from the group consisting of -tocopherol, -tocopherol, -tocopherol, -tocopherol, -tocotrienol, -tocotrienol, -tocotrienol, -tocotrienol, and derivatives thereof. R is ethyl, methoxyethyl, ethoxyethyl, n-butyl or octyl or mixtures thereof. The at least one stabiliser compound is in an amount of at least 0.02 wt % of the nail glue composition.

The present invention relates to a nail sticker which is curable by ultraviolet ray and the lower surface of the nail sticker before being cured by the ultraviolet ray includes a curved surface that the center of the nail sticker is upwardly curved.

A nail system includes a nail component; and a base component. The nail component is configured to attach to the base component, and the base component is configured to attach to a nail plate of a person's digit. The nail component has an upper, outer nail surface that is configured to cover a nail plate and the base component for providing a desired aesthetic presentation of the digit when the nail component is attached to the base component and the base component is attached to the nail plate. In some embodiments, the nail component is configured to detach from the base component for use of another nail component with the base component. The nail component preferably is configured to detach from the base component while the base component is attached to the nail plate for interchanging the nail component with another nail component having a different aesthetic appearance.
