| 1. A fingernail accessory adapted to receive a layer of settable polymeric material for forming an artificial fingernail comprising:
(a) a polymeric body having an upper surface, a lower surface, a proximal end and a distal end; and
(b) a base having a base distal portion secured to and covered by at least a portion of said lower surface and a base proximal
portion extending beyond said proximal end, said base receiving a layer of settable polymeric material when applied to a natural
fingernail to form an artificial fingernail and having a base distal end aligned with said distal end of said polymeric body;
wherein the base is adhered to the natural fingernail so as to leave a proximal area of the natural fingernail uncovered by
the base and the settable polymeric material is applied so as to cover the base proximal portion and the proximal area of
the natural fingernail.
