Abstract
An artificial fingernail or tip formed of polymer plastic contains light diffusing means located only within the front distal portion, the light diffusing means including, a plurality of minute depressions within and throughout at least the upper surface of said polymer strip for providing a textured roughened surface to obtain a natural appearing contrast between the front distal portion and the back proximal portion of the nail. In an additional aspect, the appearance is further enhanced by inclusion of slight pigmentation of the plastic material.
