Abstract
A nail tip curing composition includes an Extend Gel, an edge-off flat brush, a nail filing device, a plurality of GEL-X tips, a pH Bonder, and a Non-Acidic Gel Primer. The pH Bonder forms a pH Bonder layer on a surface of a fingernail. The Non-Acidic Gel Primer forms a Non-Acidic Gel Prime layer overlapped on the pH Bonder layer. The Extend Gel forms an Extend Gel layer overlapped on the Non-Acidic Gel Prime layer. The GEL-X tip is filed by the nail filing device and the Extend Gel is applied on an underside contact surface of the Gel-X tip by the edge-off flat brush. The underside contact surface of the Gel-X tip is contacted with the Extend Gel layer on the fingernail in such a manner that the Gel-X tip is firmly affixed on the fingernail.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0038] The following description is disclosed to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the present invention. Preferred embodiments are provided in the following description only as examples and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined in the following description would be applied to other embodiments, alternatives, modifications, equivalents, and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
[0039] Referring to
[0040] As shown in
[0041] As shown in
[0042] As shown in
[0043] Regarding to the artificial nail tips, namely Gel-X tips 40, made of for example acrylic material, are used as the artificial nail tips according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Before attaching the Gel-X tips 40 on the fingernails, a rough affixing surface 411 is provided on an underside contact surface 41 of each Gel-X tip, which is the lower inner portion of the Gel-X tip having a surface area approximately equal to the surface area of the fingernail that the Gel-X tip is going to in contact with and affixing thereon. The rough affixing surface 411 can be made when it is manufacturing to provide a coarse surface other than the generally smooth surface required on the underside surface and topside surface of the finger nail. On the rough affixing surface 411, multiple indented grooves 412 are formed.
[0044] According to the preferred embodiment, the rough affixing surface 411 is provided by means of the nail filing device 30. The underside contact surface 41 is filed by the nail filing device 30 to form the rough affixing surface 411 having multiple small indented grooves 412 thereon, as shown in
[0045] In other words, starting from a base portion of the underside contact surface 41 of the Gel-X tip, generally half of the underside contact surface 41 is filed to form the rough affixing surface 411. The rough affixing surface 411, especially the presence of the multiple indented grooves 412 formed thereon making the surface 411 a coarse surface, greatly increases the contacting surface area of the rough affixing surface 411 to pick up the Extend Gel 10. Therefore, when the Gel-X tip adhesive, i.e. the Extend Gel 10, can be retained to the rough affixing surface 411 of each of the Gel-X tips 40 than a smooth surface having the same size.
[0046] As shown in
[0047] Referring to in
[0048] As shown in
[0049] Then, as shown in
[0050] It is worth mentioning that since the Extend Gel 10 of the Extend Gel tip layer is retained in the indented grooves 412 of the rough affixing surface 411 of the underside contact surface 41 of the Gel-X tip 40, the Extend Gel 10 retained in the indented grooves 412 can act like roots to hold the Gel-X tip 40 to the fingernail 90 that greatly enhances the bonding and adhering ability of the cured and hardened bonding Extend Gel layer between Gel-X tip 40 and the fingernail 90 while a relatively thin bonding Extend Gel layer is enough to affix the Gel-X tip 40 on the fingernail 90 firmly for a relatively longer lift span for at least couple weeks. Also, the thinner the bonding Extend Gel layer, the shorter the curing and hardening time by the LED lighting is required that can greatly shorten the total time required for affixing ten nail tips to ten fingernails of the user.
[0051] To detach the Gel-X tips 40 from the fingernails 90, the user may simply soaking the fingernail 90 with the Gel-X tip 40 thereon into an acetone for a period of time and the Gel-X tip 40 will separate from the fingernail 90.
[0052] It is worth mentioning that the Extend Gel 10 is used as a GEL-X tip adhesive. The chemical formulation of the Extend Gel 10 is based on aery 1 ate/methacrylate chemistry, and contains monofimctional and multifunctional aery 1 ate/methacrylate monomers/oligomers and photoinitiators. The Extend Gel 10 in the uncured state is a potential sensitizer, a primary eye irritant and a moderate skin irritant.
