Abstract
A nail tip curing composition includes an Extend Gel, an edge-off flat brush, a nail filing device, a plurality of GEL-X tips, a pH Bonder, and a Non-Acidic Gel Primer. The pH Bonder forms a pH Bonder layer on a surface of a fingernail. The Non-Acidic Gel Primer forms a Non-Acidic Gel Prime layer overlapped on the pH Bonder layer. The Extend Gel forms an Extend Gel layer overlapped on the Non-Acidic Gel Prime layer. The GEL-X tip is filed by the nail filing device and the Extend Gel is applied on an underside contact surface of the Gel-X tip by the edge-off flat brush. The underside contact surface of the Gel-X tip is contacted with the Extend Gel layer on the fingernail in such a manner that the Gel-X tip is firmly affixed on the fingernail.
Claims20
A method of applying an artificial nail on a fingernail, comprising steps of:
- (a) forming an adhesive composition on the fingernail by applying a layer of said adhesive composition to the fingernail, wherein said adhesive composition consists of 75.0-80.0% by weight of polyurethane acrylate oligomer, 10.0-15.0% by weight of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), 1.0-5.0% by weight of 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone, and 1.0-5.0% by weight of phenylbis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide;
- (b) pressing an artificial nail tip onto the fingernail gradually from a base to a tip thereof to prevent air bubbles and to ensure a tight seal;
- and
- (c) pressing down on said artificial nail tip and the fingernail by an external pressing force until said adhesive composition layer is cured and hardened on the fingernail to form a bonding layer between said artificial nail tip and the fingernail, such that the artificial nail tip is firmly affixed to the fingernail.
