To provide an artificial nail that looks more beautiful by eliminating the problem that the conventional nail has a shape following the shape of a nail of a hand or foot (a shape gently curving toward the palm side of a hand), therefore, the front end of the artificial nail is curved toward the palm side of the hand, making the artificial nail look less beautiful.

An artificial nail includes: a base end 11 fixed to a nail 2 of a hand 1, and a front end 12 formed to be curved toward the back of the hand relative to the base end 11. The front end 12 is formed into an approximately quadrangle shape as viewed from the back side of the hand.
