Abstract
A coating composition for coating nails to provide an aesthetic colour-change effect using a liquid crystal. The composition is a gel which is spreadable and contains a curable oligomer and/or, a monomer, a curing initiator and an unsealed liquid crystal.
Claims24
A coating composition comprising a chromic component comprising a liquid crystal at a level of 30 to 80% by weight of the composition, and a curable oligomer and/or, a monomer and a curing initiator.

A cured coating comprising a chromic component comprising a liquid crystal at a level of 30 to 80% by weight of the coating and a continuous polymer phase which is derived from a cured oligomer and/or, a cured monomer, and an initiator, wherein the chromic component is dispersed in the said continuous phase.
A method of providing a cured coating which comprises applying a coating composition to a substrate to be coated which coating composition comprises a chromic component comprising a liquid crystal at a level of 30 to 80% by weight of the composition, and a curable oligomer and/or a monomer and an initiator, curing the curable oligomer and/or monomer to form a polymer to provide a continuous phase comprising the polymer and a disperse phase comprising the chromic composition dispersed in the continuous phase.
(canceled)
A process of providing a colour-change effect on a keratinous substrate comprising applying a chromic product comprising a liquid crystal coating comprising a continuous polymer matrix derived from a curable oligomer and/or a curable monomer to provide a colour-change effect to a keratinous substrate.
