ABSTRACT:
An artificial fingernail and method of making an artificial fingernail is provided in which the artificial fingernail is pre-taped with an adhesive layer covered by a removable liner during the manufacturing process. In one aspect, the artificial fingernail includes a polymeric body having a shape corresponding with at least a portion of a natural fingernail. An adhesive layer is secured to at least a portion of the lower surface of the polymeric body. The adhesive layer is adapted to adhere to an upper surface of a wearer's natural fingernail when applied thereto. A removable liner covers the adhesive layer and is removable to expose the adhesive layer for application to the natural fingernail.
