1. A fingernail covering comprising:

  • a first flexible sticker sheet layer configured to at least partially conform to and cover a fingernail from a cuticle region at a proximal end to a distal end of the fingernail, the first flexible sticker sheet layer defining a first surface;

    a fingernail tip extension disposed along a distal end region of the first flexible sticker sheet layer and along the first surface of the first flexible sticker sheet layer, the tip extension comprising;

    a protruding region that extends proximally along the first flexible sticker sheet layer away from a distal end of the fingernail covering, 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; and

    a second flexible sticker sheet layer disposed along the first surface of the first flexible sticker sheet layer and a surface of the tip extension that is opposite a surface of the tip extension that is attached to the first flexible sticker sheet layer,wherein a material stiffness of the fingernail tip extension is greater than a material stiffness of the flexible sticker sheet layers,wherein the fingernail tip extension defines a length direction extending from the proximal end to the distal end of the fingernail, and a width direction substantially perpendicular to the length direction, and wherein the fingernail tip extension has a thickness varying along the width direction.
