Abstract
A mixture of an acrylic nail monomer liquid of the present invention with a polymer powder enables one to form an artificial nail or a nail coating in a way that is similar to traditional two-part systems, but that cures under UV or LED light. Characteristics or advantages of the use of the inventive monomer may include significantly odors reduction associated with a traditional two-part acrylic nail formation; an increase of surface hardness; a reduction of the yellowing; lower cost of the components; a simple application procedure; a long open time to sculpt the nail; a lower exotherm profile compared to similar nail formulations; and a curing of the mixture to form a hard acrylic nail that is easy to file.
Claims14
An acrylic nail monomer liquid comprising:
- (a) about 50 wt % to about 65 wt % of 2-ethoxyethyl methacrylate;
- (b) about 17 wt % to about 35 wt % of hydroxypropylmethacrylate;
- (c) one or more crosslinkers;
- and
- (d) one or more curing agents;
- wherein all wt % are with respect to the acrylic nail monomer liquid.
