Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to nail decals or appliqués that are applied to natural nails with an adhesive to enhance the cosmetic appearance of the nail, and more particularly to a device and method for applying such nail decals or appliqués.
  • the pre-designed artificial nail is glued to the surface of the natural nail by applying an amount of a liquid bonding adhesive to the bottom surface of the artificial nail and/or the top surface of the natural nail to affix the accessory to the nail.
  • An overlay is then typically applied to the entire top surface of the artificial nail.
  • the overlay is usually transparent or translucent so that the decorative design is visible on the top surface of the artificial nail. Once the overlay sets, the artificial nail is shaped as desired.
  • Such decals or appliqués typically take the form of a thermal- and/or pressure-sensitive adhesive-backed film, which adds strength and beauty to nails.
  • decals or appliqués typically take the form of a thermal- and/or pressure-sensitive adhesive-backed film, which adds strength and beauty to nails.
  • the application of an opaque or clear graphic film onto fingernails or toenails provides the elements of nail polish, but includes the added benefits of nail support, graphics, specialty colors, no liquid, no dry time, no brush, no mess, no uneven brush strokes, no chipping, no known cancer causing chemicals, no fumes, and easy removal. With the advent of such artificial fingernail accessories, the wearer could now have intricately pre-designed fingernails that are attached to the natural fingernail and then later easily removed.
  • conventional nail decals or appliqués are typically provided as an assortment of decorative designs provided on one or more transfer sheets.
  • the decorative designs are stenciled, air-brushed or hand-painted on some form of transfer sheet, wherein the user must typically select a design from the sheet and apply it to the natural nail.
  • the designs are densely grouped on the transfer sheet, which makes application of a single decal from the group a difficult process.
  • appliqué sets have been provided with multiple appliqués of varying size for each fingernail. For instance, in a typical package of appliqués, there may be two or more different appliqués for each finger, wherein each appliqué for a particular finger is more slender than the others.
  • the present invention is a device and a method for applying nail decals or appliqués to a natural fingernail or toenail.
  • the device generally includes a substrate and a plurality of decals temporarily affixed to a bottom surface of the substrate.
  • the substrate includes a central body portion, a plurality of stem portions extending outwardly from the central body portion and a decal application tab portion extending outwardly from each of the stem portions.
  • Each decal application tab portion has a size and shape corresponding to the size and shape of a human fingernail or toenail and has at least one decal temporarily affixed thereto.
  • the substrate has a plurality of differently sized decal application tab portions corresponding to the different sizes of human fingernails or toenails.
  • the decal application tab portions are preferably defined by opposite longitudinal ends, wherein each of the longitudinal ends has a peripheral contour matching the contour of the cuticle portion of the human fingernail or toenail.
  • the substrate may be made of a water permeable material, wherein the decals are temporarily affixed to the substrate with a water activated adhesive. In an alternative embodiment, the decals are temporarily affixed to the substrate with a dry transfer adhesive.
  • the central body portion of the substrate is preferably an elongate member having a longitudinal extent and the plurality of stem portions extend outwardly from the central body portion in opposite lateral directions.
  • the central body portion further preferably has at least one decal disposed on a bottom surface thereof and further preferably includes a perforation for separating the device into two parts.
  • Each of the stem portions preferably includes at least one frangible portion for separating the decal application tab portion from the central body portion.
  • the frangible portion is a perforation.
  • the substrate has a top surface opposite the bottom surface and the top surface preferably has a printed image disposed directly opposite at least one of the decals, wherein the printed image depicts the decal disposed on the bottom surface directly opposite the printed image.
  • a substrate with a plurality of decals temporarily affixed to a bottom surface thereof, as described above, is utilized.
  • the method includes the steps of selecting a decal application tab portion having a desired decal and a size matching the size of the fingernail or toenail to which the decal is to be applied, aligning the shape of the selected decal application tab portion with the shape of the fingernail or toenail to which the decal is to be applied and transferring at least one decal from the aligned decal application tab portion to the fingernail or toenail.
  • the aligning step includes the step of removing the decal application tab portion from the central body portion and placing the removed decal application tab portion on the fingernail or toenail. In an alternative embodiment, the aligning step includes the step of placing the selected decal application tab portion on the fingernail or toenail while the decal application tab portion is still connected to the central body portion.
  • the device 10 is preferably formed as a unitary substrate 11 having a plurality of spaced differently sized decal application tabs 12 connected to a central supporting body 14, such as a central tree.
  • Each of the decal application tabs 12 has at least one decal 16 temporarily affixed thereto, and is preferably connected at one end to the supporting structure 14 via a stem 18.
  • the central supporting body 14 is also preferably provided with a plurality of differently sized decals 19 temporarily affixed thereto.
  • the central supporting body portion 14 of the substrate 11 is an elongate member having a longitudinal extent and the decal application tab portions 12 extend outwardly from the body portion in opposite lateral directions. It is however conceivable for the decal application tabs 12 to extend from the central body 12 from only one lateral side. In either case, each decal application tab 12 extends outwardly from the supporting body 14 so that the user can readily see the respective sizes of the tabs.
  • the tabs 12 are arranged on the supporting body 14 in an aesthetically pleasing, as well as a functional pattern.
  • the tabs 12 are preferably arranged in order of size and are positioned side-by-side along the supporting body 14.

  • each decal application tab 12 of the present invention has an initially planar oval shape defined by a convexly curved distal end 20 and a convexly curved proximal end 20 opposite the distal end.
  • the length of the tab 12 defined as the distance between the distal end and the proximal end, matches the length of the fingernail or toenail to which the decal 16 is to be attached.
  • the peripheral contour 22 of the distal and proximal ends 20 of the tab 12 serves as a guide for positioning the decal 16 on a natural nail.
  • the rounded distal end 20 and the rounded proximal end 20 have the same convex curvature, which may, for example, be defined by the same radius.
  • the identical curvature of both the distal end and the proximal end matches the curvature of the cuticle portion of a natural fingernail or toenail to which the decal 16 is to be applied.
  • one tab 12a shown in Figure 1
  • Another tab 12b may have a size, shape and a matching curvature 22 at its distal and proximal ends 20 that respectively correspond to the size, shape and curvature of the cuticle portion of a thumb of an average wearer.
  • each decal application tab 12 may have different curvatures at its opposite longitudinal ends.
  • the decal application tab 12 may have a curvature at its distal end that corresponds to the curvature of the cuticle portion on an index finger of an average wearer, while its proximal end may have a curvature that corresponds to the curvature of the cuticle portion on a thumb of an average wearer.
  • a set of a plurality of tabs 12, as shown in Figure 1 would typically be supplied as a package to the wearer, wherein decal application tabs 12a, 12b having end curvatures matching all of the fingers of the typical wearer would be provided.
  • the opposite ends of the stems 18 are preferably provided with frangible portions 24 for detaching the decal application tab 12 from the stem and/or detaching the stem 18 from the central supporting body 14.
