Benefits of technology

The thinner effectively reduces the viscosity of thickened gel polishes, enabling easier application and faster curing times, maintaining the original curing properties and extending the shelf life of the gel polish, while allowing compatibility with UV LED curing lights.

Problems solved by technology

In contrast, ordinary nail polish can chip, peel, crack, and begin to fade within one to days.
A more viscous gel is difficult to apply to the nail, and cause defects in the finish.
For example, streaking, poor color dispersion, and leveling of the surface are common problems.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]A gel nail polish thinner is added to a gel nail polish to reduce its viscosity (e.g., shear viscosity). For example, a nail polish from a given manufacturer may be too viscous or thick for a particular application. A gel nail polish thinner is used to thin this polish before application. In another example, a nail polish thinner is a chemical composition that restores thickened nail polish to its original consistency and can help to prolong the life of the polish.

[0017]Gel polish that is too thick may result in a polish that is difficult to apply and does not last as long on the nail as a polish that is the correct consistency. Sculpting or builder gels are typically very difficult to apply due to their high viscosity and they often need to be filed down and reapplied multiple times to build up a nail. In contrast, lower viscosity UV curable gels can be applied as a thin coat and are typically applied as a single coating. A second coating is optional.

Abstract

A composition for a thinning agent to reduce the viscosity of a traditional gel or gel polish includes at least one monomer and a photoinitiator. The thinner can reduce the viscosity of a gel polish that has thickened, and allow for easy application of the gel to the nails. Aspects of the thinner can cause a ultra-violet curable gel or gel polish, using a ultra-violet light, to cure using a ultra-violet light emitting diode light source, when the thinner is added to the gel. The thinner is versatile and can be added to any gel polish or traditional gel to extend the life of the gel.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This patent application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 839,333, filed Mar. 15, 2013, issued as U.S. Pat. No. 9,956,160 on May 1, 2018, which is incorporated by reference along with all other references cited in this application.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to the field of radiation-curable gel polish and gel products, and in particular, to a composition for a gel polish thinner.[0003]Radiation-curable gel systems for manicures and pedicures have increased in availability and popularity in recent years. There are advantages to traditional gels and gel polishes that are not available to conventional nail polish. Under a ultra-violet radiation (UV) or light emitting diode (LED) light, gel polishes can cure in minutes while regular nail polish takes longer cure. Gel polishes can last for up to two to three weeks without fading or chipping. In contrast, ordinary nail polish can chip, peel, crac...
