Abstract

A kit for decorating and styling nails or for supplying the substance to the nail plate comprises a foil placed on a base layer, wherein the foil optionally, on one arbitrary surface, has an decorative or single-colour overprint made directly on this surface and a self-adhesive coating on the internal side. The foil together with the self-adhesive coating and the base layer has at least eight different protrusions forming permanently formed flexible three-dimensional nail stickers, formed together with the base layer on the matrix, wherein the protrusions mirror the anatomic nail shape and moreover the foil layer together with the self-adhesive coating is cut around the perimeter of each of the protrusions. There is also disclosed a three-dimensional nail sticker for decorating and styling nails or for supplying the substance to the nail plate.

Claims (46)

1. A kit, comprising:

a base layer; and

at least one three-dimensional, flexible, and shape memory nail sticker placed on the base layer,

wherein the at least one three-dimensional, flexible, and shape memory nail sticker comprises:

a film of thickness between 30 and 140 μm, and

a self-adhesive coating at the base layer side,

wherein the film together with the self-adhesive coating and the base layer forms a three-dimensional protrusion,

wherein the three-dimensional protrusion mirrors an anatomic nail shape of a whole nail plate, such that the at least one three-dimensional, flexible, and shape memory nail sticker has a protrusion shape that is convex and that is a section of a sphere, the section of the sphere mirroring the anatomic nail shape,

wherein each of the at least one three-dimensional, flexible, and shape memory nail sticker is a permanently formed flexible three-dimensional nail sticker placed on the base layer, and each of the film and the self-adhesive coating includes an edge along a perimeter of the three-dimensional protrusion, and

wherein when the at least one three-dimensional, flexible, and shape memory nail sticker is unstuck from the base layer and is placed on a nail layer starting from the nail lunula, the at least one three-dimensional, flexible, and shape memory nail sticker is configured to:

curl back to restore the anatomic shape of the at least one three-dimensional, flexible, and shape memory nail sticker that is placed on the base layer, and

maintain the anatomic shape of the at least one three-dimensional, flexible, and shape memory nail sticker that is placed on the base layer, such that the at least one three-dimensional, flexible, and shape memory nail sticker is anatomically adapted to the nail shape.

2. The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the film is a thermoplastic film.

3. The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the film is made of: polyvinyl chloride; linear low density polyethylene (LDPE); polyethylene terephthalate (PET); amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (APET); or polylactic acid (PLA).

4. The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the self-adhesive coating includes an attestation for skin contact.

5. The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the self-adhesive coating has as an additive of an active ingredient.

6. The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the film has a decorative or single colour overprint on one side made directly on this surface.

7. The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the film is covered with a protective laminate.

8. The kit according to claim 7 , wherein the protective laminate is a polyvinyl chloride of thickness 30 μm.

9. The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the base layer ( 5 ) is coated from the self-adhesive coating side with an additional external coating.

10. The kit according to claim 9 , wherein the additional external coating is made of a UV-hardened silicone.

11. The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the base layer is made of amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (APET); high impact polystyrene (HIPS); polyethylene terephthalate (PET); polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG); poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA); acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS); polyvinyl chloride; polylactic acid (PLA) of thickness 200 μm in case of thermoforming; resin; natural rubber; rubber; silicone; or paper pulp form coated with silicone.

12. The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one three-dimensional, flexible, and shape memory nail sticker is made on a personalized protrusion shape of a specific user's nail plate, and

wherein the three-dimensional protrusion has a shape that mirrors a three-dimensional anatomic shape of the nail of the specific user's nail plate.

13. The kit according to claim 12 , wherein the personalized three-dimensional shape of the protrusion is done by scanning a surface of the user's nail plate with a 3D scanner.

14. The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one three-dimensional, flexible, and shape memory nail sticker comprises at least eight three-dimensional, flexible, and shape memory nail stickers, and

wherein each of eight three-dimensional, flexible, shape memory nail stickers of the at least eight three-dimensional, flexible, and shape memory nail stickers that are placed on the base layer has a three-dimensional shape of a different protrusion that mirrors the anatomic nail shape of the whole nail plate.

15. The kit according to claim 14 , wherein the kit comprises at least one set least one set of the at least eight three-dimensional, flexible, and shape memory nail stickers placed on the same base layer.

16. The kit according to claim 14 , wherein the kit comprises at least two sets of the at least eight three-dimensional, flexible, and shape memory nail stickers placed on the same base layer.

17. The kit according to claim 14 , wherein the edges of each of the film and the self-adhesive coating includes an edge along the perimeter of each of the protrusions, and

wherein the film and the self-adhesive coating are not placed on a flat narrow strip of the base layer, the flat narrow strip connecting the protrusions together.

18. The kit according to claim 14 , wherein the at least eight three-dimensional, flexible, and shape memory nail stickers are made on personalized three-dimensional protrusion shapes of a specific user's nail plates, and

wherein the three-dimensional shape of the protrusions mirrors a three-dimensional anatomic shape of the nails of the specific user's nail plates.

19. The kit according to claim 18 , wherein the personalized three-dimensional protrusion shapes are done by scanning surfaces of the user's nail plates with a 3D scanner and mirror nail shapes of the user's hands or feet.

20. The kit according to claim 5 , wherein the active ingredient is chosen from antifungal and antibacterial substance, and wherein the active ingredient chosen from antifungal and antibacterial substance includes Ciclopiroxum; Amorolfine; Climbazole; Piroctone Olamine; Itraconazolum; Triclosan; Tea tree oil; Bifonazolum; Urea; ceramides; vitamins; and/or proteins.
