Abstract

The invention comprises a polymerizable monomer composition for application to the nail surface and polymerization thereon to yield an artificial nail structure, comprising at least one multicarbonyl-vinyl containing monomer; a polymerized artificial nail structure having a thickness of about 10-60 mils, and a modulus of elasticity of about 550-800 N/m 2 , comprising a copolymer of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer and a multicarbonyl vinyl-containing monomer; a method for reducing, ameliorating, or eliminating delamination of an artificial nail structure from the natural nail surface; a method for improving adhesion of an artificial nail structure to the nail surface; and a method for reducing premature gelation of a liquid monomer composition.

Claims (3)

1. A method for reducing or eliminating delamination of an artificial nail structure from a natural nail surface, wherein said artificial nail structure is obtained by polymerizing on the natural nail surface a polymerizable monomer composition, said method comprising adding to said polymerizable monomer composition an effective amount of at least one multicarbonyl-vinyl containing monomer and at least one other ethylenically unsaturated monomer.

2. A method for improving adhesion of an artificial nail structure to the nail surface, wherein the artificial nail structure has been applied by polymerizing on the nail surface a polymerizable monomer composition, comprising adding to said polymerizable monomer composition an effective amount of at least one multicarbonyl-vinyl containing monomer and at least one other ethylenically unsaturated monomer.

3. A method for applying an artificial nail to a nail surface comprising applying to said nail surface a polymerizable composition containing at least one monoethylenically unsaturated vinyl monomer that contains two or more carbonyl groups and at least one other ethylenically unsaturated monomer.
