Abstract
A composition for application to fingernails and toe nails includes a binder and a pigment, the binder including volatile and non-volatile components and the pigment being present in the composition in an amount of between 25% to 35% of the total volume of the non-volatile portion of the composition, creating a physical action upon drying of a layer of the composition applied to the nails, wherein a lack of cohesive strength between the pigment and binder results in formation of random cracks in the applied layer.
Claims8
A lacquer emulsion composition for application to fingernails and toenails comprising:
- a non-toxic binder portion comprising volatile and non-volatile components;
- a non-toxic pigment portion;
- and
- said pigment portion being present in the composition in a volume of concentration ranging between 25% and 35% of the total volume of a non-volatile portion of the composition and said volume of concentration of said pigment portion causing the formation of random cracks in said composition upon drying of an applied layer of said composition.
A method of decorating fingernails and toe nails comprising the steps of:
- providing a lacquer emulsion composition comprising:
- a non-toxic binder portion comprising volatile and non-volatile components;
- a non-toxic pigment portion;
- said pigment portion being present in the lacquer composition in a volume of concentration ranging between 25% and 35% of the total volume of a non-volatile portion of the lacquer composition;
- applying a layer of said lacquer composition to a surface on a nail;
- drying said applied layer;
- and
- forming random cracks in said applied layer to visibly expose said surface through said randomly formed cracks.
A method of decorating fingernails and toe nails comprising the steps of:
- providing a lacquer emulsion composition comprising:
- a non-toxic binder portion comprising volatile and non-volatile components;
- a non-toxic pigment portion;
- applying a layer of said lacquer emulsion composition to a surface on a nail;
- drying said applied layer;
- and
- causing random cracks to form in said applied layer by providing said pigment portion in a volume of concentration ranging between 25% and 35% of the total volume of a non-volatile portion of the composition, thereby visibly exposing said surface through said cracks in said applied layer.
