To provide a decorative artificial nail which almost does not require forming work after attaching the artificial nail main body.

This is a decorative artificial nail to decorate the nail of a finger by attaching a main body 1 or 2 of the decorative artificial nail molded with a synthetic resin on the finger nail. The distal end of the main body 1 or 2 of the artificial nail is preliminarily formed in an arc shape. Because almost no work to mold the distal end part using scissors or a file is required after attaching the artificial nail 1 or 2 on the nail of a finger, the artificial nail can be attached on the nail of a finger in a short time. Because no molding work is required for the distal end of the artificial nail main body 1 or 2 holding a tool such as scissors in a hand other than the dominant hand, there is no fear of injury in a finger by a tool and the artificial nail main body 1 or 2 can be molded without fail, no inconvenient work such as removing once attached artificial nail 1 or 2 or re-attaching another artificial nail 1 or 2 is required.
