To provide a false nail capable of being visualized even in the dark, inexpensive and shining.

The false nail 1 is provided with a false nail member 2 having a form contouring a human nail, a thin-plate shaped cell 3 stuck on the back of the nail member 2, a plus electrode wire 5 electrically connectable to a plus electrode 3b of the cell 3 and exposed onto the surface of the nail member 2 and a minus electrode wire 4 electrically connectable to a minus electrode 3a of the cell 3 and exposed onto the surface of the nail member 2. An LED (light-emitting diode) side plus electrode 10 electrically connectable to the wire 5 and an LED side minus electrode 11 electrically connectable to the wire 4 are exposed onto the back. At least one or more lighting members 6 with built-in circuits for lighting the LEDs 8 are stuck on the surface of the nail 1.
