A preformed artificial nail and nail tip for attachment to a natural wherein the shape of a free edge of the artificial nail or nail tip does not conform to the shape of a free edge possible with a typical natural nail. More specifically, the side edges of t he free edge portion of the preformed artificial nail or preformed artificial nail tip flare out at least 5 .degree. from the side edge line of the artificial nail at the nail bed portion, or the width of the distal edge of the free edge portion is preferably at least 5% wider than the width of the artificial nail or tip at the transition from the nail bed portion to the free edge portion. The preformed artificial nail or nail tip may further flatten slightly at the distal end of the free edge. The preformed artificial nail and preformed artificial nail tip are preferably formed from plastic, such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyethylene or polypropylene, preferably by injection molding the same in a known manner similar to currently available preformed artificial nails.
