Clear and resilient artificial fingernail tip

A method of making artificial fingernail tips comprising:

• a) obtaining a mixture of about 700o copolymer pellets and about 30% copolymer grafted on terpolymer pellets, the copolymer pellets comprising methyl methacrylate-ethyl acrylate and the terpolymer pellets comprising butyl acrylate-butadiene-methyl methacrylate backbone with methyl methacrylate-ethyl acrylate grafts;
• b) drying the copolymer and copolymer grafted on terpolymer pellets by baking at a temperature of approximately 175-185 deg. F. for about 3-4 hours;
• c) melting the dried pellets at a temperature between approximately 410 and 470 deg. F. to form a melted material;
• d) injecting the melted material into a mold at a pressure between approximately 10000 and 20000 psi;
• e) maintaining a molding temperature of approximately 104-158 deg. F. and mold surfaces at approximately 120-140 deg. F. for approximately eight seconds;
• f) maintaining the material at a temperature of approximately 98 deg. F. for approximately 3.2 seconds until the material hardens;
• g) removing the hardened material forming the artificial fingernail tips,
• wherein the hardened material has a refractive index substantially the same as an about 1.45 refractive index of a cyanoacrylate glue such that fogging would not occur if the cyanoacrylate glue were applied to the hardened material.

A method of making an artificial fingernail tip comprising:

• drying a material including baking the material to remove moisture from the material;
• melting the dried material, the material comprising a mixture of about 70% copolymer pellets and about 30% copolymer grafted on terpolymer pellets, the copolymer pellets comprising methyl methacrylate-ethyl acrylate and the terpolymer pellets comprising butyl acrylate-butadiene-methyl methacrylate backbone with methyl methacrylate-ethyl acrylate grafts;
• molding the melted material into a shape of an artificial fingernail tip;
• wherein the artificial fingernail tip has a refractive index such that fogging would not occur if a cyanoacrylate glue were applied to the artificial fingernail tip, and wherein the artificial fingernail tip is transparent.
