Pretreatment Formulation and Method for Facilitating Removal of Gel Nail Polish and Gel Nail Strips

摘要

A method for the application and removal of gel nail polish with an aqueous solution comprising the steps of applying a pre-application coating of an aqueous composition with a ceramide component to the nail to form an intermediate interposing layer on the nail. Thereafter, 1) a gel nail polish layer is applied on the intermediate layer and the gel nail polish layer or layers is light cured; 2) non-UV cured gel nail polish is applied to the intermediate layer; or 3) a gel nail strip is applied to the intermediate layer. The gel nail polish or gel nail strips is removed by soaking the nails with nail polish or gel nail strips in warm water optionally with soap for a sufficient period of time whereby the intermediate pre-application material is sufficiently softened for the physical scraping removal of the gel nail polish. The intermediate and nail polish layers or gel nail strips are removed by scraping.

1. A method of applying and removing gel nail polish with an elevated temperature aqueous solution, comprising the steps of:
applying a pre-application coating of an aqueous composition to a nail to form an intermediate interposing layer on said nail before gel nail polish is applied thereto, wherein at least one of said interposing layer and bond formed between said nail and said interposing layer is softenable and releasable in an aqueous solution at a temperature above ambient temperature, applying at least one gel nail polish layer on said intermediate layer and light curing the at least one gel nail polish layer; removing said nail polish, when said nail polish is to be removed or replaced, by soaking said nails in warm water optionally with soap for a sufficient period of time whereby said intermediate pre-application material is sufficiently softened and said bond is released, enabling said physical removal of said gel nail polish; and physically removing both said intermediate and nail polish layers.
