Benefits of technology

[0015]Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior art. One object of the present invention is to prolong the lifetime of a French-nail decoration formed on an artificial nail by preventing the French-nail decoration from being peeled off, worn off or damaged (abraded).
[0018]In order to accomplish these objects, according to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided an artificial nail with an upper surface applied with a French-nail manicure, wherein a portion of the upper surface is rough so that the French-nail manicure can permeate the upper surface effectively.
[0027]Furthermore, the present invention discloses an artificial nail having a French-nail decoration, which is characterized by comprising an upper surface applied with a French-nail manicure, a portion of which is rough so that the French-nail manicure permeates the upper surface effectively, and an adhesive layer having a strong adhesive force interposed between the French-nail manicure and the upper surface of the artificial nail.
[0030]Also, the present invention discloses an artificial nail set including a tree having a plurality of branches branching off from both sides of the tree, and a plurality of artificial nails each detachably coupled to each end portion of the branches, characterized in that the artificial nail has an upper surface applied with decoration paint, and a portion of the upper surface is rough so that the decoration paint permeates the upper surface effectively.
[0035]The above construction is a very important feature in maintaining the initial beauty of the artificial nails when the nails are designed by the mold and also to prolong a the lifetime of the decoration by drastically reducing the possibility of peel-off, abrasion, and damage of the decoration.

Problems solved by technology

The application of the nail polish onto the nails is a complicated process, and it takes a lot of time and requires a skilled experience to precisely and uniformly apply the nail polish onto all of ten nail bodies.
In the case in which the nail service is provided in a nail salon, it costs a great deal and is also time consuming.
Hence, there is a drawback that since decoration ink or paint is not sufficiently adhered to the glossy surface of the nail, the decoration ink or paint is likely peeled off from the surface.
The drawback is the result of insufficient adsorption of the decoration ink or paint to the surface of the artificial nail or the insufficient adhesive force of the decoration ink or paint to the surface.
In this instance, the decoration paint itself has no adhesive force sufficient to be adhered to plastic material used for the artificial nail, because of its chemical resistance.
Accordingly, the decoration paint is easily peeled off from the glossy surface, and thus the decoration paint likely suffers from erosion.
Accordingly, the French-nail decoration is likely peeled off or damaged in a short time.
Therefore, there is a problem that the French-nail decoration of the artificial nail is easily damaged and worn off.

Abstract

An artificial nail is disclosed, which can increase the adhesive force between a French-nail manicure and the artificial nail and prevent a French-nail decoration from being damaged. The artificial nail includes an upper surface having a rough portion, a French-nail decoration formed on the rough upper surface, an adhesive layer having a strong adhesive force interposed between a French-nail manicure and the upper surface having the French-nail decoration. Also, the artificial nail set includes a tree having plurality of branches branching off from both sides of the tree and a plurality of artificial nails, each of which is detachably coupled to each end portion of the branches and has the above-described construction. The French-nail decoration formed on the artificial nail has a prolonged lifetime because it is prevented from being peeled off, worn or damaged (abraded).

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an artificial nail, and more particularly, to an improved artificial nail capable of increasing an adhesive force between a French-nail manicure and the artificial nail and preventing a French-nail decoration from being damaged.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Generally, a full-cover artificial nail, which is called a nail tip, is made of synthetic resin, such as nylon or acetate, through injection molding. The artificial nail is adhered to a user's nail to protect and decorate the nail with beautiful shapes and colors. More specifically, the artificial nail protects a nail bed or a nail body of the user, and decorates the user's nail with French-nail designs and attractive colors.[0005]As a basic cosmetic treatment, the nails are usually applied with a colored nail polish. The application of the nail polish onto the nails is a complicated process, and it takes a lot of time an...
