The present disclosure is directed to a reusable artificial nail. In one embodiment, the reusable artificial nail includes a first side having a decorative design and a second side that is opposite the first side, wherein the second side comprises a plurality of micro suction cups coupled to the second side.

A gel nail for attaching to a fingernail of a user includes an elongated nail body having a root end, a tip end and two side edges, and defining an attachment portion at said root end for attaching on the fingernail and an extension portion at said tip end for being extended beyond the fingernail. A curvature at the root end is smaller than a curvature of the tip end, such that the root end is more flatten than the tip end. Each of the side edges has a reduced thickness to enable the attachment portion to be bent for matching with a curvature of the fingernail of the user.

An illustrated view of an exemplary pre-packaged artificial nail removal apparatus for removing artificial nails from a person's finger is presented. The pre-packaged artificial nail removal apparatus is useful for providing a safe, efficient and cost-effective means to remove artificial nails. Also, the pre-packaged artificial nail removal apparatus is useful providing an apparatus that removes individual, and often times inaccurately performed, steps and provides an all in one solution for removal of artificial nails. The pre-packaged artificial nail removal apparatus has a wrap. A pad is adhered to an interior portion of the wrap and the wrap has a heating element. The pad is absorbent and configured to receive a chemical material such as acetone.

A model reconstruction apparatus and method uses photogrammetry. The model reconstruction apparatus using photogrammetry may include an image-receiving unit for receiving image data in which images of a nail of a target, for which an artificial nail model is to be generated, and a standard specification object are taken together, an image-analyzing unit for recognizing shapes of a nail plate and a nail tip of the nail of the target from the image data, and determining parameters for the shape of the nail plate and the shape of the nail tip based on the standard specification object, and a model-generating unit for generating an artificial nail model based on the parameters.

There is provided herein a fashion nail covering comprising an adhesive tape having a nail adhesive side and an opposing outer side having a pre-printed nail area, which can be used to cover a finger nail or toe nail to cosmetically disguise and/or render the nail more aesthetically pleasing. There is also provided a nail set comprising said nail covering and a method of employing the same.

An artificial nail formed along a shape of a nail is disclosed. The artificial nail includes a synthetic resin in which a main ingredient is a biomass plastic and has a function of not easily preventing transpiration activity of the nail bed. The nail is characterized in that not only a dye but also a lam, ornamentation, or printing are included in the resin in order not to damage design even if the surface of the artificial nail is polished and that the artificial nails are formed by being arranged in the same order as the alignment of the nail of the thumb to the pinkie finger. An operation method of the artificial nail includes buffing or covering of the surface of the nail with a coating forming component.
