Benefits of technology

[0013] To achieve these and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, the invention provides an artificial fingernail molded to contain liquid. According to the invention, the edge of a first layer is joined to the edge of a second layer. A liquid portion is positioned in between the first layer and the second layer. The color and composition of the liquid portion, along with decorative objects placed in the liquid portion, produce a desired cosmetic effect.

Problems solved by technology

Artificial fingernails and toenails pose two considerable problems.
First, decorative methods such as nail polish, paint, or adhesives require significant care, skill, and time to apply.
Additionally, only the outside surface of an artificial nail can be decorated, limiting the possibilities of cosmetic effects.
Carroll cannot achieve the cosmetic effect associated with liquid.

Embodiment Construction

[0019] Referring now to FIG. 1, a side plan view of an artificial fingernail 10 produced in accordance with the invention is shown. Artificial nail 10 is formed with a top layer 12, a bottom layer 11 and a liquid portion 14 occupying the clearance area between the two layers.

[0020] Still referring to FIG. 1, liquid portion 14 may include decorative objects 13 made of plastic, paper, or other material. Decorative objects 13 come in a variety of shapes, including stars, circles, polygons, and hearts. In addition, different colors, levels of clarity, and levels of viscosity for liquid portion 14 may be used. Levels of clarity range from transparent to fluorescent to opaque. Fluorescent material is used for luminescence in the dark. Liquids of different viscosity include thinner liquids like water, liquids like oil and thicker gravy-like liquids. Furthermore, liquid portion 14 may include air to allow for the movement of liquid and decorative objects 13. A combination of air, water and...

An artificial nail is usually a thin, plastic material applied on top of a natural fingernail or toenail. The plastic material typically has color similar to a natural nail. Artificial nails are manufactured in numerous shapes and sizes to accommodate the natural nails of different people. [0005] After applying an artificial nail, nail polish or adhesive designs can be applied to the nail to produce a desired cosmetic effect. For example, bright-colored nail polish can be used to decorate the artificial fingernail. In addition, small stickers or painted designs can be applied to fu...
