A nail decorating kit includes a release substrate, a plurality of nail decals peelably adhered to the release substrate and an applicator peelably adhered to the release substrate for transferring a selected decal from the release substrate to a fingernail or a toenail. A method for applying decals to a fingernail or toenail includes the steps of providing a release substrate having a plurality of nail decals and an applicator peelably adhered thereto, peeling the applicator from the release substrate, pressing an applicator end against a top surface of a selected decal, peeling the selected decal off the release substrate using the applicator, wherein the selected decal is temporarily adhered to the applicator end, pressing the decal against a fingernail or toenail with the applicator end of the applicator and releasing the applicator end from the top surface of the decal, whereby the decal is adhered to the fingernail or toenail.

A method for preparing a nail art includes: applying a pressure to a laminate including a pre-substrate layer and a pre-coating layer by a mold to form a nail art including a substrate layer and a coating layer from the laminate, wherein when the pressure is applied, a temperature of the mold is 60 C. to 160 C., and the pressure is applied at 6 MPa to 12 MPa.

Waterless thin adhesive films bearing ink or pigment are transferred by pressure and/or heat (e.g. body heat) without using water to release the film from the backing. Excess film on the skin adjacent the sides or cuticle is not a problem, as this can be wiped clean following a top coat cure on the nail. Because the waterless thin adhesive is already dry and clean, a greater number of top coat formulations can be applied to the film remaining on the nail without delay to secure the film, providing an effective and durable nail covering lasting longer (up to 3 weeks in some cases) without losing its shine or decorative benefits.

A multi-layered foil appliqu for decorating nails is cut from a laminated sheet having the following layers: a first adhesive layer residing on a releasable substrate; a base coat residing on the first adhesive layer; a UV-curable adhesive layer residing on the base coat; a foil layer residing on the UV-curable adhesive layer; and a top coat residing on the foil layer. The foil is applied to the UV-curable adhesive layer by contact between the metallic side of a metallized plastic sheet and the adhesive before the adhesive is cured. The bottom coat and top coat are formed from organic solvent-based nail enamels. Sufficient solvent remains in the appliqu to keep it stretchable before use. Residual solvent evaporates after the appliqu is applied to a user's nail.

A double colored nail appliqu, method of manufacturing and using, the appliqu having two different decorations sequentially via the user removing the top coat of a second colored enamel layer to expose an underlying base coat with a different, first colored enamel layer. The base coat is covered by a UV adhesive layer that protects it during the removal of the top coat. The nail appliqu may further comprise a metallic foil layer directly above or below the UV layer; a design imprinted on the top or bottom coat of enamel; and, a clear coat of enamel covering the top coat. Removal of the top coat(s) by the user does not damage the underlying coats/layers. Therefore, one nail appliqu can be used to offer two different appearing manicures without having to apply a new nail appliqu.

The invention relates generally to nail strips that may be adhered to human finger and toe nails. The strips are provided in the form of a sheet having a plurality of cutout strips in the general shape of a nail which may be peeled from the sheet. The nail strips may be decorated by printing user-created or selected designs using a home printer. The size and/or shape of the nail strips may be adjusted by selecting and detaching an appropriate perforated edge from the sheet backing.

The present invention relates to a nail sticker which is curable by ultraviolet ray and the lower surface of the nail sticker before being cured by the ultraviolet ray includes a curved surface that the center of the nail sticker is upwardly curved.

The present invention relates to a reusable nail tip, and more particularly, to a nail tip that can be easily attached to a nail, used for a predetermined period of time, removed and reused again. The nail tip of the present invention adopts a TPU material with desirable elasticity to thus attain convenience of use and excellent retention, and uses an adhesive composition that includes various antibacterial and moisture components, thereby minimizing side effects and nail damage.
