AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The compositions offer faster application and curing times, improved durability, and easier removal compared to traditional systems, with the ability to maintain rich color and a defect-free appearance, reducing maintenance needs.

Problems solved by technology

However, nail coating compositions typically lack the durability desired by consumers or are difficult to apply or remove in terms of time and / or effort.
The lack of durability is often evidenced by a chipping or peeling of the coating soon after the original coating has been applied, requiring at least in part a reapplication of the coating in an attempt to recreate the aesthetic appearance or the therapeutic benefits of the original nail coating.
While thicker nail coatings may in general be more desirable due to their richer color and / or greater durability of the finished nail coating, it can be challenging to reasonably rapidly and substantially cure the entirety of the coating after its application.
For example, while UV light may readily penetrate the outermost regions of the coating composition to initiate the cure, the higher levels and / or darker hues of certain pigments in some coating compositions may limit penetration of the UV radiation into the innermost regions of the applied gel coating composition and thus increase the time required to substantially cure the entirety of the coating.
For example, some prior art gel coating compositions, while durable, cannot be readily removed by typical “soak-off” procedures and require a more laborious removal process.
Alternatively, while some prior art gel coating compositions are very easily removed; those properties may lead to premature chipping and / or peeling of the coating, requiring additional maintenance or reapplication to stabilize the coating's overall appearance.

[0138]Hypothetical Procedure for Blending Pigmented Lacquer and Gel Base

[0139]A previously prepared pigmented lacquer (such as a commercially available nail polish) is blended with a gel formulation of the present invention (typical gel formulation shown below) in a ratio of 40 parts by volume of lacquer to 100 parts by volume of gel formulation, The blend is heated to approximately 110 degrees F. The mixture is slowly stirred for approximately 40 minutes, and allowed to cool for approximately 2 hours. Once cooled, the mixture is preferably deposited into UV coated bottles.
