Abstract

A form for providing a support for the application of artificial fingernail material is disclosed herein. The form is generally horseshoe-shaped, the improvement comprising the addition of a lip member on the portion of the platform adjacent to the finger. The lip member provides additional support and attachment sites for the form to the finger and prevents bowing of the form as a result of notches provided on each side of the lip member accommodate folds of skin on the sides of the nail.
