Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to provide a thin yet highly durable nail foil. Additionally, it is also designed to offer better protection to the nail foil design by sealing it with another coat after application to the nail.

Problems solved by technology

Conventional nail polish brushes can vary widely in brush tip size and shape; such brushes can be as small as 1-2 mm in brush tip size, and thus conventional nail polishes consistently suffer from poor resolution, lack of detail, and streaks occurring during application on the nail when trying to achieve fine detail.
However, heat-based foils are often awkward due to requiring more steps, and for some foils, a person must be certified to perform such steps, such as a manicurist.
Therefore, such strips can be difficult to remove.
Such nail polish strips known in the related art consistently suffer from ease of removal since nail polish remover must later be applied.
Nail polish remover can carry an undesirable or pungent odor, and can create a second difficult clean-up process when removing the nail strip.

Abstract

A nail foil application method comprises cleaning a fingernail surface, applying a first coat of nail polish, adhering a nail foil, adhering the nail foil without requiring thermally activated adhesive, heat, friction, heat lamp, blow dryer, or any other heat source, and sealing the nail foil by applying a second coat of nail polish on the nail foil. Further disclosed is a nail foil application system which comprises a nail foil capable of being adhered upon a nail plate, and an adhesive on one side of the nail foil, where the nail foil is made of polyvinylchloride.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]The present invention relates in general to pre-cut cosmetic products, in particular, to nail foils applied to fingernails or toenails without the need for heat, friction, or nail polish remover.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Nails are known in the related art. Nails are typically a hardened keratin protein typically formed by a mammal's body, commonly known as a fingernail or toenail.[0005]Nail polish brushes are known in the related art. Conventional nail polish brushes can vary widely in brush tip size and shape; such brushes can be as small as 1-2 mm in brush tip size, and thus conventional nail polishes consistently suffer from poor resolution, lack of detail, and streaks occurring during application on the nail when trying to achieve fine detail.[0006]Nail foils are known in the related art, some of which include: U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,600,030 (Newman), 4,781,484 (Goncalves), 4,974,610 (Orsini), 5,415,903 (Ho...
