Self adhesive nail coatings
Abstract
Abstract A method of manufacturing adhesively-securable, fingernail coatings and an adhesively-securable fingernail covering product, too. The nail polish-like material is provided in semi-solid form on a sheet of adhesive-backed peel-off paper, which, when removed, exposes the adhesive of the fingernail coatings. The fingernail coatings are, after removal from a substantially air-tight package, cut into individual sections, located on the fingernails and pressed onto the fingernails to secure them there, temporarily, i.e., until they are desirably removed. The edges can then be cut to the length and width, as well as the curvature of the nail on which they are placed. The semi-solid nail enamel product is originally sealed in an air tight envelope to ensure that the coatings do not fully dry out during shipping and storage. Upon removal of the fingernail coatings and securing them on the individual's fingernails, as just described, the semi-solid polish will completely dry and "cure" and, in addition, a slight aroma of liquid nail polish enamel is emitted. The fingernail coatings are manufactured by pouring liquid enamel onto an adhesive backed sheet of paper and, after a period of drying at a predetermined temperature, are packaged, in semi-solid form. The coatings can also be provided with designs, pictures or stripes.
