1. A fingernail covering comprising:
- a flexible sticker sheet layer having a substantially uniform thickness and being configured to conform to and cover a fingernail from a cuticle region at a proximal end to a distal end of the fingernail, the flexible sticker sheet layer defining a first surface configured to adhere to the fingernail;
a removable liner layer disposed along the first surface of the flexible sticker sheet layer; and
a fingernail tip extension disposed along a distal end region of a second surface of the flexible sticker sheet layer that is opposite the first surface, a maximum thickness of the fingernail tip extension being greater than the uniform thickness of the flexible sheet layer and the fingernail tip extension being arranged along the second surface to expose an area of the second surface to be installed over the proximal end of the fingernail to remain uncovered by another material, the tip extension comprising;
a protruding region that extends proximally along the flexible sticker sheet layer away from a distal end of the fingernail covering and towards the proximal end, the protruding region extending proximally away from a remaining region of the fingernail tip extension for maintaining structural integrity of the fingernail covering and placement of the fingernail covering along the fingernail,wherein a material stiffness of the fingernail tip extension is greater than a material stiffness of the flexible sticker sheet layer.

Abstract
In some aspects, fingernail coverings can include a flexible sheet layer configured to conform to and cover a fingernail, the flexible sheet layer defining a first surface configured to adhere to the fingernail; and a fingernail tip extension disposed along an end region of a second surface of the flexible sheet layer that is opposite the first surface, the fingernail tip extension being arranged along the second surface to expose an area of the second surface to be installed over a proximal end of the fingernail.
