Abstract

The illuminated artificial fingernail is made up of a power source in the form of two 1.55 volt mini batteries, that electrify a micro circuit chip that in turn causes the light source, in the form of an LED, to light up intermittently (flash), giving the artificial fingernail an attractive appearance and also attracts attention to the hand of the wearer.
