Abstract
Nail products, methods and kits for enhancing nails are disclosed. A tacky substance is applied to a nail followed by a nonwoven substrate. The nonwoven substrate is removed from the nail leaving a fiber residue on the nail. A nail coating such as nail polish is applied to the nail over the fiber residue. If any gaps between fibers in the fiber residue remain after the nail coating is applied, a further nail coating may be applied. A top coat may then be applied to provide for a final finish on the nail.
Claims20
A nail product comprising:
- (a) a tacky substance that is configured to be coated on a nail;
- (b) a nonwoven substrate that is folded over onto itself and sealed at two overlapping edges to form a pocket with one open end;
- and
- (c) a fiber residue,
- wherein the nonwoven substrate is configured to:
- i) receive one or more fingers or toes into an interior of the pocket through the one open end of the pocket;
- and
- ii) leave the fiber residue on at least one nail disposed on at least one or more of the fingers or toes, wherein the at least one nail is coated with the tacky substance;
- and
- further wherein:
- 1. the nonwoven substrate comprises fibers;
- and
- 2. the fiber residue comprises fewer fibers than the nonwoven substrate.
