A method and kit for treating a nail surface. The method includes brushing or spraying an adhesive on a coated or uncoated nail surface to form an adhesive-coated surface. A covering (e.g., a curable nail gel, evaporative nail polish, or artificial nail) is then applied to the adhesive-coated surface. The covering is removable by soaking in solvent for less than 20 minutes, peeling, or a combination thereof.

Methods and compositions for readily removing nail coatings

A method for removing a radiation-polymerized cosmetic coating from nails comprising applying a solvent system comprising a hydroxyl-containing solvent and a non-hydroxyl-containing solvent to a polymerized nail coating. A two package system comprising a first package comprising polymerizable nail coating composition comprising a (meth)acrylic oligomer, (meth)acrylic monomer, or a mixture of a (meth)acrylic oligomer and a (meth)acrylic monomer, and a photoinitiator, wherein the oligomer or monomer has an acidic or basic ionizable group and a second package comprising a solvent system for removing the polymerizable nail coating composition after it has been applied to a nail and radiation cured, the solvent system comprising a hydroxyl-containing solvent and a non-hydroxyl-containing solvent. A radiation-curable coating composition for human nails is also disclosed.

Method of removing polymerized coatings for human nails, polymerized coating for human nails having improved removability, and two package system

A method of making a nail polish comprising using a rotor-stator to prepare a suspension base by mixing dry clay and film forming material in a solvent or solvent mixture to make a clay gel, allowing the resultant clay gel to thicken, and letting the thickened clay gel down in additional solvent, film forming polymer, and plasticizer and then adding pigment paste. The rotor-stator can be used before and/or after adding the pigment paste or can be used to make the pigment paste itself. Nail polish cosmetic compositions, UV curable cosmetic nail gel compositions, and nails coated with the compositions.

Nail polish composition and method of making a nail polish

Provided is a slow-release delivery vehicle for delivering at least one active ingredient into a film coating, comprising a population of stable, homogeneously-dispersed, porous polymeric or co-polymeric beads having a network of pores, wherein the at least one active ingredient is held within the bead particles and within the network of pores and slowly released by internal flow, and wherein the network of pores is substantially non-collapsible upon removal of the active ingredient. The porous co-polymer bead preparation comprises a continuous aqueous phase solution containing a monomeric mixture of at least one polyvinylaromatic monomer and at least one porogen forming a network that comprising (i) macropores; (ii) mesopores; (iii) micropores; and (iv) gel porosity. Also provided are methods of preparing the porous co-polymer bead preparation; and for its use as a slow-release delivery vehicle.

Durable film coating compositions having sustained slow-release capability, and methods of use therefor

A toothbrush having brush means and a means to support the brush means; and a one or two part therapeutic tooth treatment composition which becomes activated when wet incorporated on the brush means or within the toothbrush means to support the brush means in a manner such that the composition remains inactive during storage and is only activated when contacted with water or saliva; and a method comprising brushing a tooth with the toothbrush so that the brush means become wet with saliva, optionally wetting the brush means with water immediately prior to brushing a tooth, and the composition becomes activated to form a therapeutic composition to provide remineralization, whitening, and/or fluoridation.

Toothbrush with reactive composition for remineralization of teeth

A method of preparing colored UV-curable artificial nail gel compositions comprising dispersing a pigment in an organic liquid to form a pigment concentrate and mixing the pigment concentrate with a polyfunctional acrylic monomer and/or a polyfunctional acrylic oligomer, and the resultant highly colored artificial nail gel are disclosed.

Method of preparation of radiation-curable colored artificial nail gels

Ultraviolet fingernail dryer

A composition useful for artificial nails, artificial nail preparations, and nail primers having resistance to greenies comprising a liquid component comprising one or more polymerizable acrylic monomers, a solid or gel component comprised of polymerization initiator catalyst and a polymer of one or more acrylic monomers, and one or more antimicrobial compounds. A method of preparing the composition, a method of forming an artificial human nail, and an artificial human nail formed from each composition are also disclosed.

Artificial nails

Quick drying coating compositions, preferably but not exclusively for application to natural or artificial nails are provided. The quick-drying coating composition comprises a base or lacquer component and an optional pigment component. The base component can dry in less than about 70 seconds under ambient conditions, yet is free of undesirable solvents and components such as acetone, toluene, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and formaldehyde-containing resins. The base component includes film-forming polymers, a monomer component compatible with the polymers, and a free radical source.

Quick-drying coating compositions

Materials and methods for increasing the adhesion of adhesives and coatings to proteinaceous substrates are provided wherein a liquid substantially acid-free hydrophilic acrylate monomer composition is employed to treat the substrate before application of adhesives and coating thereto.

Artificial fingernails

Suspension-polymerized, crosslinked copolymers of methacrylic anhydride yield beads suitable as precursors for weak-acid and other ion exchange resins, affinity chromatography materials and other materials which require spherical polymers having reactive anhydride groups for their preparation. Both gel and macroporous beads of these copolymers may be made by the process of the invention.

Crosslinked methacrylic anhydride copolymers

New bile acid sequestrant polymer compositions and a process for preparing the polymers in particulate form, preferably in spherical form, are described. The polymer particles are prepared by crosslinking an amine-containing polymer with an amount of a polyfunctional amine-reactive compound sufficient to crosslink the polymer so that it is essentially water insoluble and has bile acid sequestering efficacy greater than that of cholestyramine, preferably greater than about three times the efficacy of cholestyramine. A preferred polymerization process revolves suspension polymerization of water-soluble amine-containing monomers, such as dialkylaminoalkyl (meth)acrylate esters and dialkylaminoalkyl (meth)acrylamides, in the presence of polyfunctional amine-reactive compounds, such as substituted dihaloalkanes. Pharmaceutical compositions containing the bile acid sequestrant polymer particles and a method for lowering blood cholesterol levels using the pharmaceutical compositions are also described.

A process is provided for suspension polymerization of water-soluble monomers in aqueous suspension to form spherical, unagglomerated polymer beads. The polymerization is conducted in the presence of a nonionic, substituted hydroxyalkylcellulose dispersant which is especially effective in protecting the monomer droplets from coalescence prior to their forming stable polymer particles.
