System and method for nail foil application

Abstract

A nail foil application method comprises cleaning a fingernail surface, applying a first coat of nail polish, adhering a nail foil, adhering the nail foil without requiring thermally activated adhesive, heat, friction, heat lamp, blow dryer, or any other heat source, and sealing the nail foil by applying a second coat of nail polish on the nail foil. Further disclosed is a nail foil application system which comprises a nail foil capable of being adhered upon a nail plate, and an adhesive on one side of the nail foil, where the nail foil is made of polyvinylchloride.

         6 . A nail foil application system, comprising:
 a nail foil;   an adhesive on one side of the nail foil;   where the nail foil is made of polyvinylchloride; and   where the adhesive comprises solvent polyacrylate.   
     
     
         7 . the system of  claim 6 , where a prefabricated design is silk-screened upon the nail foil. 
     
     
         8 . the system of  claim 6 , where the adhesive is not thermally activated. 
     
     
         9 . (canceled) 
     
     
         10 . the system of  claim 6 , further comprising: a prefabricated design on the nail foil. 
     
     
         11 . the system of  claim 6 , where a first coat of acrylic underlies the adhesive layer adhered to the nail foil. 
     
     
         12 . the system of  claim 6 , where the nail foil is capable of being removed by peeling the nail foil. 
     
     
         13 . the system of  claim 6 , where the nail foil is removable without any nail polish remover. 
     
     
         14 . the system of  claim 6 , where the nail foil is deformable and reformable at room temperature. 
     
     
         15 . the system of  claim 6 , further comprising:
 an absence of thermal-sensitive adhesive.   
     
     
         16 . the system of  claim 6 , where the nail foil is 0.06 mm to 0.95 mm in thickness. 
     
     
         17 . the system of  claim 6 , where the nail foil is approximately 0.060 mm in thickness. 
     
     
         18 . the system of  claim 11 , further comprising: a sealing coat of acrylic applied to the surface of the nail foil. 
     
     
         19 . the system of  claim 11 , wherein the nail foil resists tearing at 19 MPa. 
     
     
         20 . the system of  claim 11 , wherein the nail foil is capable of elongating approximately 120% before tearing occurs.
