Coated manicure implement

摘要

A manicure implement is coated with a corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant material, such as zirconium nitride, titanium nitride, di-titanium nitride, and titanium carbonitride. Deposition is preferably accomplished by a cathodic arc process using linear deposition sources with simultaneous heating and rotation of a manicure implement substrate relative to the deposition sources.
