The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising at least one aqueous polyurethane dispersion and 0.1 to 7.5% by weight, based on the at least one polyurethane dispersion, of a mixture comprising at least one alkanediol, to a process for production thereof, to the use thereof for application to the skin and/or hair, preferably on facial skin, and to a cosmetic process for cleansing and caring for the skin and/or hair and/or nails and/or for applying a decorative effect to the skin and/or hair and/or nails, comprising applying the cosmetic composition according to the invention to the skin and/or hair and/or nails and optionally thereafter removing the composition from the skin and/or hair and/or nails.

Provided is an adhesive gel nail which includes a base film, an adhesive layer on the base film, a printed layer on the adhesive layer, an UV gel coating layer on the printed layer, an LED gel coating layer on the UV gel coating layer, and a highpoint glossy-top coating layer on the LED gel coating layer, and the highpoint glossy-top coating layer is formed by applying and drying a glossy-top coating solution in which a monomer, an oligomer, a cellulose, and a long-wavelength initiator are mixed.

Provided herein are non-naturally occurring polypeptides comprising a sequence of a fragment of a collagen and recombinant cells containing heterologous nucleic acid sequences encoding the non-naturally occurring polypeptides. Further provided herein are animal-free methods of generating and purifying such non-naturally occurring polypeptides using microorganisms, preferably from bacterial cells.

Methods and compositions related to the selective, specific disruption of multiple ligand-receptor signaling interactions, such as ligand-receptor interactions implicated in disease, are disclosed. These interactions may involve multiple cytokines in a single receptor family or multiple ligand receptor interactions from at least two distinct ligand-receptor families. The compositions may comprise polypeptides having composite sequences that comprise sequence fragments of two or more ligand binding sites. The methods and compositions may involve sequence fragments of two or more ligand binding sites that are arranged to conserve the secondary structure of each of the ligands from which the sequence fragments were taken.

A method and kit for treating a nail surface. The method includes brushing or spraying an adhesive on a coated or uncoated nail surface to form an adhesive-coated surface. A covering (e.g., a curable nail gel, evaporative nail polish, or artificial nail) is then applied to the adhesive-coated surface. The covering is removable by soaking in solvent for less than 20 minutes, peeling, or a combination thereof.
