An artificial nail is formed by injection molding a first section and a second section. The first section and second section are adjacent to one another. One of the sections defines a front distal tip of the artificial nail and is formed by injecting a quantity of heated material under pressure from a nozzle into a sprue, through a runner and through a cavity gate into a mold cavity. The other section is formed by injecting another quantity of heated material under pressure from a heated nozzle through another cavity gate into the mold cavity.

A system and method for creating precision fit artificial fingernails is disclosed. Specifically, a system is disclosed that utilizes a scanned and digitized nail surface to form a precision fit three dimensional digitized artificial nail object that can be used to direct a machining device that either creates an artificial fingernail from blank stock, or to machine a custom mold that can be used to make multiple artificial fingernails having the same shape.

An artificial fingernail has an outer layer made of silicone allowing the nail to maintain its form when not in contact with objects but permitting the nail to flex upon contact with objects and bend back to its original shape after contact. Accordingly, the wearer can simultaneously look attractive and engage in vigorous exercise or other vigorous activities such as scrubbing, cleaning, cooking etc. The artificial fingernail may also be combined with jewelry and may be molded with cut-out designs.

Provided is a preformed artificial nail designed to conform to the wearer's natural fingernail. The artificial nail includes an elongated nail body (110) that extends between a proximate edge (120) intended to abut against the cuticle and a distal edge (122) intended to extend beyond the wearer's fingertip. To allow the nail body to conform to the curve of the natural fingernail between the sides, the thickness of the nail body increases from the proximate edge to the distal edge. The relatively thinner proximate edge provides that region of the nail body with an inherent flexibility that allows the nail body to deflect and conform to the natural fingernail. The relatively thicker distal edge provides that region of the nail body with an inherent rigidity and, relatedly, additional strength to the portion of the nail body intended to extend beyond the fingertip.

A composition for actinic radiation curable nail coatings and artificial nail tips comprising a BISGMA based urethane resin, an additional polymer, a photoinitiator, and having a viscosity of greater than approximately 80,000 cps. Composition may additionally comprise other additives known in the art and also methods of application of the composition alone and with related compositions.

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing an artificial nail. In the method for manufacturing an artificial nail according to the present invention, a flat sheet is molded to have a plurality of artificial nails by means of vacuum molding and is then cut into individual artificial nails by means of press cutting. According to the present invention, a plurality of artificial nails can be manufactured through a single molding operation so that artificial nails can be mass-produced. Further, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing an artificial nail, wherein patterns can be variously and delicately printed on the artificial nails and the artificial nails can be made of a variety of materials including PET resin as well as ABS resin.

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).

Light cured nail coatings that are applied to natural nails and/or artificial nail-tips for cosmetic purposes. An optional bond-enhancing compound can be used to strengthen the bond between the light curable coatings and the natural nail. Also, finishing compounds may be used to clean the surface of the uv curable coatings resulting in a high-gloss shine. The methods of applying uv-radiation curable nail coatings, bond-enhancing compounds, and finishing compounds to artificial nail-tips and natural nail are also discussed.

An object of the present invention is to provide an artificial nail composition having improved curability. Another object of the present invention is to provide an artificial nail composition which causes less yellowing and has excellent internal curability.

The artificial nail composition comprises:

• • a component (a): a compound having at least one radical polymerizable unsaturated double bond in the molecule, and a component (b): a photopolymerization initiator selected from (i) an acylphosphine oxide-type photopolymerization initiator and (ii) a mixture of an acylphosphine oxide-type photopolymerization initiator and an α-hydroxyalkylphenone-type photopolymerization initiator, wherein the amount of the component (b) is 0.05 to 4.00 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the component (a). It is preferred that the acylphosphine oxide-type photopolymerization initiator is monoacylphosphine oxide and/or bisacylphosphine oxide, and the α-hydroxyalkylphenone type polymerization initiator is 1-hydroxy-cyclohexyl-phenyl-ketone or 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenyl-propan-1-one.

A method of preparing colored UV-curable artificial nail gel compositions comprising dispersing a pigment in an organic liquid to form a pigment concentrate and mixing the pigment concentrate with a polyfunctional acrylic monomer and/or a polyfunctional acrylic oligomer, and the resultant highly colored artificial nail gel are disclosed.

A preformed artificial nail and nail tip for attachment to a natural wherein the shape of a free edge of the artificial nail or nail tip does not conform to the shape of a free edge possible with a typical natural nail. More specifically, the side edges of the free edge portion of the preformed artificial nail or preformed artificial nail tip flare out at least 5° from the side edge line of the artificial nail at the nail bed portion, or the width of the distal edge of the free edge portion is preferably at least 5% wider than the width of the artificial nail or tip at the transition from the nail bed portion to the free edge portion. The preformed artificial nail or nail tip may further flatten slightly at the distal end of the free edge. The preformed artificial nail and preformed artificial nail tip are preferably formed from plastic, such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyethylene or polypropylene, preferably by injection molding the same in a known manner similar to currently available preformed artificial nails.

A device includes an artificial nail (1400). The artificial nail (1400) includes a display (1405) that displays designs using electronic paper or electrophoretic ink.

Limited shelf life due to pigment settling and the formation of hard packs in pigmented UV curable nail gels is solved by the present invention which describes a composition, method, and use of a UV curable, thixotropic, radiation curable, low viscosity gel comprised of a formulation containing thixotropic additive(s) and in some cases dispersants for additional dispersion stability. The thixotropic pigmented gel has prolonged shelf life and long time storage at ambient conditions. It also contains negligible amounts of unreactive solvent. The thixotropic additive also changes the rheological properties of the gel, which allows the nail gel to be easily applied to nails at a lower viscosity due to shear thinning.
