ABSTRACT:
Novel composition and method for forming artificial fingernails in situ and for prefabricated nails for people with weak, damaged nails. A vinyl fingernail extension is adhered to the top surface of the free end of a natural fingernail. Then for the in situ nail a coating of cyanoacrylate adhesive is applied to the vinyl extension and the natural nail. For the prefabricated nail, a fill in preliminary coating on the natural nail is first employed. Afterwards layers of a pink mixture in powder form of between approximately 8 and 12 parts by volume acrylic ester polymer or copolymer and 1 part sodium bicarbonate is applied to the adhesive coating while still wet to create an instant hardening. The coatings are repeated several times. The resulting nail looks naturally pink, blends into its finger, skin and nail environment, is hardy, corrects broken nails and is strong enough to protect against further damage to nails. Main benefit is that individuals whose nails are weak or broken and could not otherwise grow long nails because of this can do so and since the vinyl absorbs the adhesive and acrylic mixture and hardens, the artificial nail of the present invention need only be reinforced approximately every four weeks, a treatment that does not involve reapplying any vinyl extension. The vinyl extension just grows off and never needs to be replaced. Other compounds including sodium sulfate, sodium carbonate or sodium borate are substitutes for sodium bicarbonate but the result will not be as good.
