Abstract
A clear, photocurable coating composition to be applied over wet nail polish on a nail for binding with the wet nail polish upon exposure to ultraviolet light, consisting of: between 5% and 50% by weight of a film-forming polymer selected from the group consisting of: i) cellulose esters ii) acrylic polymers, between 2% and 15% by weight of a photoinitiator selected from the group consisting of: i) benzophenone ii) alkylphenyl ketone, and iii) cyclohexylphenyl ketone; and between 40% and 85% by weight of a photoreactive monomer selected from the group consisting of methacrylic acid esters.
