Description

The present invention relates to the work of manufacturing a manicure sheet material using nail polish (generally called "nail polish" or "polish" for short) and the manicure sheet material that has been manufactured. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a tool and a manicure sheet material used for trimming a nail into a shape that fits a user's nail .

In recent years, as a cosmetic tool exclusively for nails, a seal member (generally called a "nail seal") has been developed in which an adhesive layer is provided on the back side of a decoration layer made of special ingredients such as nail polish or pigment. (See Patent Documents 1 and 2, for example).

On the other hand, a manicure method has also been devised in which a commercially available coating solution (base coat) or nail polish is applied to the surface of a film sheet such as a plastic bag, and the thin film formed by drying is peeled off and attached to the nail. (See, for example, Non-Patent Document 1.).

The thin film itself formed by the above method has no adhesive strength, but by applying a base coat to the nail, placing the thin film on the nail before it dries, and lightly pressing the thin film, the adhesive strength and stretchability of the base coat can be used to remove the thin film. You can stick it to your nails. This thin film is hereinafter referred to as a "manicure sheet".

Since commercialized nail stickers are standardized in size and shape, it is impossible to fit them perfectly to everyone's nails, so it is necessary to trim the cut surface by cutting off the part that protrudes from the nail. become necessary.

Even when using a handmade manicure sheet as described in Non-Patent Document 1, it is difficult to produce a sheet that fits the nail perfectly. is manufactured, and after attaching it to the nail, the excess part is cut off. However, this method is time-consuming and may result in an unnatural finish such as the cut end surface being higher than the edge of the nail. In addition, in the work of applying nail polish, there are problems such as the nail polish flowing outside the intended range of the user, and the film sheet being applied being twisted or bent, making the work difficult. Moreover, the sheet is often torn when the dried nail polish sheet is peeled off. In addition, it is difficult to draw a picture or pattern for decoration without confirming the correspondence with the actual nail.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to easily manufacture a manicure sheet material that can be fitted to the nail of a user, and to provide a ready-made manicure sheet material. To facilitate the work of arranging a nail into a shape that fits the nail of a user .

As a solution to the above problems, the present invention provides a strip-shaped plate body that can be cut with scissors, and a convex support portion integrally provided in the middle part of the back surface of the plate body in the length direction. To provide a plate for manufacturing a sheet material for manicure consisting of. In this plate, the portion where the support portion is not provided within the range from each of the short side edges of the plate body to a predetermined position not exceeding the center line of the plate is the tip of the user's nail. toward the center of the plate body and cut into a contour shape that fits the side and bottom edges of the nail when placed on the surface of the spot . A predetermined range in which the edge of the contour line by this cutting is included is used as the target range for applying the nail polish of the material of the manicure sheet or as the range for attaching the manufactured manicure sheet or the commercially available nail sticker. .

Here, an example of a method of manufacturing a manicure sheet using the cut plate will be described. First, a coating layer is formed by applying a coating liquid to a predetermined range in which the edge of the plate body includes the contour line obtained by the cutting. Next, a decorative layer is formed by applying nail polish to the surface of the plate on which the coat layer is formed so as to be continuous with the coat layer. In addition, in the process of forming the decorative layer, the application of the nail polish and the process of drying the nail polish layer formed by the application can be repeated multiple times.

As the coating liquid for forming the coating layer, it is desirable to use a liquid agent capable of forming a stretchable film, such as a "base coat" used for undercoating nail polish. However, the coating liquid and the nail polish liquid may be those that are generally distributed, and there is no need to use a special liquid agent.

By the above operation, a thin film is formed on the surface of the plate main body by superimposing the coating layer and the decorative layer with nail polish, that is, a thin film to be a manicure sheet. After that, at an appropriate time, by attaching a nail polish remover to the end face of the range where the thin film of the plate is formed and the end face of each layer continuing thereon, the degree of bonding between the edge of the thin film and the plate body loosen. At an appropriate time after this, on the condition that the thin decorative layer has dried and the manicure sheet is completed, the edge of the manicure sheet on the side opposite to the edge that fits the bottom edge of the user's nail is pulled up using an adhesive tape or the like, the entire manicure sheet can be peeled off from the plate body.

After that, as in the conventional method, a coating liquid is applied to the user's nail and a manicure sheet is attached thereon. The manicure sheet does not protrude from the side edges or bottom edge of the nail. The manicure sheet can be perfectly fitted to the nail.

According to the plate configured as described above, the support provided in the central portion of the length is placed downward on the surface along the horizontal direction, so that the position of the surface of the plate body is sufficiently high from the support surface. Coating liquid and nail polish can be applied. By making the thickness of the supporting part constant, the plate body is stably supported, and there is no risk that nail polish overflowing from the end face of the plate body will return to the surface of the plate body, so a sufficient amount of nail polish will be applied evenly. to suppress uneven coating. Also, during the work of applying nail polish remover to the end face, the nail polish remover overflowing from a cotton swab or brush soaked with nail polish remover can escape into the gap under the plate body, and the decorative layer on the surface can be removed. It can be prevented from being damaged by liquids. The work of attaching the remover can be carried out at any time after or before the decorative layer dries.

Since the portion of the plate body where the support portion is not formed can be cut with scissors, if this portion is made larger than most people's nails, any user will be able to cut that portion according to the shape of their own nails. By cutting to size, manicure sheets can be made to fit your nails perfectly. It can also be used for the purpose of arranging a large manicure sheet or a commercially available nail seal that can be adapted to various people's nails into a shape suitable for the user's nail. In addition, by narrowing the width of at least the width of both end portions of the support portion facing each short side of the plate body, the portion to be cut can be sufficiently secured, and the support portion can stably support the plate body. can be length.

According to the plate having the above structure, two manicure sheets are manufactured by cutting the range from each of the both edges to a predetermined position so as to have a contour shape that fits the both side edges and the bottom edge of the user's nail. can do. Based on this, in the plate according to one embodiment of the present invention, the position corresponding to the tip edge of the finger or nail of the user is provided on the plate body or the support so that the cutting line can be easily formed. (One mark can be provided in each manicure sheet manufacturing range.).

In a plate according to another embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the plate body is formed to have a satin finish. According to this configuration, when the coating liquid is applied, the area where the glossiness is increased by the application becomes clear, and even after the nail polish liquid is applied, the exposed area of the coating liquid can be easily discriminated, and the operation of pulling up the sheet can be performed. It can be carried out. Further, by putting the manicure sheet peeled off from the plate main body on the nail with the back surface where the satin surface is transferred facing up, the nail can be given a calm decoration with reduced luster.

The material that can be used to manufacture the manicure sheet is not limited to the coating liquid and the manicure liquid, and a picture or pattern can be drawn on the manicure layer using a permanent marker or a paint solution. In addition, when the manicure sheet is attached to the nail with the back surface facing up, a picture or pattern can be drawn using a nail polish or a paint solution before applying the coating liquid. In that case, if the plate body is made transparent or translucent, and a sheet piece on which a rough sketch is drawn is inserted between the plate body and the support surface, which are arranged on a surface along the horizontal direction via the support part. , a highly decorative picture or pattern can be easily drawn in accordance with the sketch.

Even if the plate is not provided with a convex support portion on the back surface, the manicure sheet manufacturing method exemplified above can be carried out by supporting the intermediate portion in the length direction via a separate support portion. can be done. Also, as long as it is flexible enough to be cut with scissors, the plate should be thick enough to prevent the nail polish remover from seeping out onto the surface when the polish remover is applied to the end face. By providing the support, the need for the support can be eliminated. The shape of such plates is not limited to strips.

ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the manicure sheet which can match|combine with one's nail exactly can be manufactured easily. In addition, a sufficient amount of nail polish can be applied without causing uneven coating, and the plate can be repeatedly used to prevent tearing of the manicure sheet when the sheet is peeled off. You can fully enjoy the fashion of your nails. Furthermore, according to the present invention, it becomes easy to prepare a large manicure sheet or a commercially available nail seal that can be adapted to various people's nails into a shape that fits the user's nail.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a method of drawing a picture or pattern for art;

FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a plate for manufacturing a manicure sheet for fingernails (hereinafter referred to as "manicure plate" or simply "plate") according to one embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, five types of manicure plates 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, and 1E corresponding to each of five fingers are set. will be represented by the symbol 1 of . Also in the following description, reference numeral 1 is similarly used when there is no particular need to refer to it individually.

The manicure plate 1 of this embodiment is a molded product made of a transparent synthetic resin (for example, polypropylene), and includes a strip-shaped plate body 10 and a convex shape integrally provided at the central portion of the length of the back surface of the plate body 10. and a support portion 11 of Although not shown, the surface of the plate body 10 has a satin finish by embossing.

The support portion 11 of each plate 1 is formed with recesses representing a character string including an identification number N and alignment marks (stars S1 and S2) to be described later. These characters and marks can be fully seen through from the front side of the plate body 10, and the orientation of the characters is assumed to be read from the front side. The portion of the character string excluding the number N represents the trade name (HARU MANI) of the manicure plate 1. As shown in FIG.

In FIG. 1, the plate 1A numbered "1" is for the thumb, the plate 1B numbered "2" is for the index finger, and the plate 1C numbered "3" is for the middle finger. The plate 1D numbered "4" is for the ring finger and the plate 1E numbered "5" is for the little finger. In any of the plates 1, the range on the right side of the character string when facing the character string including the number N is the area for producing the manicure sheet for the corresponding fingernail of the right hand, and the facing character string The area on the left side is the area for producing the manicure sheet for the corresponding fingernail of the left hand. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, by arranging the plates 1A to 1E in numerical order along the direction from the bottom to the top in the same plane, areas for production on both sides of each manicure sheet (hereinafter referred to as "production areas") ) can be aligned with the left and right fingers.

The plates 1B, 1C, and 1D for the index finger, the middle finger, and the ring finger are the same in size and shape, with the only difference being the number N assigned. The other two plates 1A and 1E also differ only in number N and width, and have the same basic configuration. Specifically, in this embodiment, the length of the plate body 10 of all the plates 1 is unified to 85 mm, and the thickness of the plate body 10 and the support portion 11 is each set to about 1 mm. The width of the plate 1A for the thumb is approximately 18 mm, the width of the plate 1E for the little finger is approximately 12 mm, and the width of the other three plates 1B, 1C, 1D is approximately 15 mm. Also, the distance between both edges of each plate 1 and the support portion 11 is set to about 20 mm.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the back side of the manicure plate 1 (illustrated by the thumb plate 1A), and FIG. It represents The supporting portion 11 of the manicure plate 1 of this embodiment is provided on each side of a substantially hexagonal main surface 12 having arcuately curved edges along the length direction so that the width increases toward the center. It has a structure in which end faces 13 inclined so as to widen outward as it approaches the main body 10 are connected. The aforementioned identifying number N is marked on the central portion (the widest portion) of the principal surface 12 , and a pair of large and small stars S1 and S2 are marked on both ends of the principal surface 12, respectively.

Each asterisk S1, S2 is an important landmark that is used to produce a nail polish sheet that perfectly fits the user's nail. The larger outer asterisk S1 is sized to inscribe a circle with a diameter of about 3 mm, and the smaller inner asterisk S2 is sized to inscribe a circle with a diameter of about 1.5 mm.

The manicure plate 1 described above is used after being cut so that the left and right production areas of the plate body 10 have a size and contour shape that fit the user's nail. A series of operations to be carried out in order to match the production area to the nail will now be described with reference to FIG. 4, taking one production area of the plate body 10 as an example.

First, a flexible adhesive tape 4 (adhesive that can be easily removed) is attached to the area including the target fingernail, and lines corresponding to both side edges and bottom edge of the nail on the surface of this tape 4 are attached. Then, an oil-based pen 6 is applied to the tape 4 to copy the contours of the tape 4 (FIG. 4(a)). Before and after this work, mark the position corresponding to the center of the nail smile line (the boundary between the white part and the pink part of the tip. It is sometimes called the yellow line.) A black dot P) may be marked, but it is also possible to mark the tape 4 in advance and attach the tape 4 to the finger so that the mark is aligned with the center of the smile line.

Next, remove the tape 4 from which the contour shape has been copied, and cut the tape 4 along the copied contour line with scissors 7. It cuts out so that it may continue straight (FIG.4(b)). By this operation, a tape 4M having a shape that fits the user's nail (hereinafter referred to as "nail-shaped tape 4M") is completed (FIG. 4(c)).

After that, with respect to the plate main body 10 of the plate 1 corresponding to the target nail, the edge portion representing the outline of the bottom edge of the nail of the nail tape 4M is directed toward the edge side of the plate main body 10, and the black circle mark P is placed on the plate. The nail-shaped tape 4M is attached to the plate main body 10 in alignment with the star S1 on the back side of the main body 10.例文帳に追加Then, a permanent pen 6 is applied to the edge of the nail-shaped tape 4M to copy the outline of the tape 4M onto the plate body 10 (FIG. 4(d)). After copying is completed, the nail-shaped tape 4M is removed, and the plate body 10 is cut with scissors 7 along the copied outline (Fig. 4(e)). Upon completion of this cutting operation, the fabrication area of the plate body 10 is sized and contoured to fit the corresponding fingernail (FIG. 4(f)).

By performing the work shown in FIG. 4 on the left and right production areas of the five manicure plates 1A to 1E for the nail corresponding to each area, all the production areas of all the plates 1 are completed. , can be sized and contoured to fit the user's corresponding fingernail.

The scissors 7 used for the above work are general stationery scissors. The portion of the plate body 10 in this embodiment where the support portion 11 is not attached has flexibility so that it can be cut with the scissors 7. The plate body 10 can be formed into an oval shape by cutting the edge portion of the plate body 10 (the margin outside the support portion 11) so as to follow the contour line (see FIG. 6). However, the tool used for cutting the plate body 10 is not limited to scissors, and a cutter knife or the like may be used.

In the example of FIG. 4, for convenience of illustration, the black circle mark P of the claw tape 4M is aligned with the central portion of the star mark S1. It is desirable to align it near the vertex (the vertex on the side opposite to the star S2 side). In this embodiment, assuming that the length of the nail protruding from the smile line is about 3 mm at most, the asterisk S1 is sized to be inscribed in a circle with a diameter of 3 mm. , the leading edge of most people's nails can be accommodated within the range of the asterisk S1.

However, the above positioning is merely an example, and for example, the black circle mark P on the nail-shaped tape 4M may be aligned with the edge of the support portion 11 (outer than the star mark S1). Alternatively, the black circle P may be aligned with the leading edge of the nail instead of the smile line, and the position of the black circle P with respect to the plate body 10 may be aligned with the innermost vertex of the star S1 (the vertex on the side of the star S2). .

The production area of the plate body 1 can also be shaped to fit the nail without relying on the asterisk S1. For example, a nail-shaped tape (having the same shape as the nail) reflecting the contour line of the entire edge of the nail including the tip edge is prepared, attached to the production area of the plate body 10, and the contour line is copied, By cutting the plate body 10 along contour lines other than those corresponding to the leading edge of the nail, the fabrication area can be adapted to the nail. In that case, the contour line of the tip edge that remains without being cut can be used as a mark instead of the asterisk S1.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, a procedure for manufacturing a manicure sheet using the manufacturing area processed in the work of FIG. 4 will be described. This work is performed while the plate 1 is placed on a horizontal surface 8 shown in FIG.

First, a base coat is applied to the surface of the production area after processing of the plate body 10 (FIG. 5(a)). This coating is applied to the range including the small asterisk S2 inside from the edge of the plate body 10 (the part that fits the nail and the predetermined range that is continuous with this).

In FIG. 5, the coat layer 2 formed by applying the base coat is represented by a halftone dot pattern. is glossy and easy to distinguish. The dried coat layer 2 can also be easily identified.

After the base coat dries, nail polish is applied onto the base coat layer 2 (FIG. 5(b)). After this application, the operation may be finished, and the manicure sheet may be completed when the nail polish layer 30 of the applied nail polish is dried, or the operation of applying the nail polish may be repeated.

In the example of FIG. 5, after waiting for the nail polish layer 30 to dry, another nail polish liquid is overcoated on the central portion of the width of the nail polish layer 30 to form the decoration layer 3 with two types of nail polish layers 30 and 31 (see FIG. 5). 5(c)). A thin film containing the decorative layer 3 and the coat layer 2 is used as a manicure sheet.

In this embodiment, since the plate body 10 is stabilized in a horizontal position and a base coat or nail polish is applied to the surface thereof, these can be retained on the surface of the plate body 10 by surface tension. Therefore, uneven coating can be prevented by applying the liquid at once using a brush soaked with a large amount of these liquids. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the surface of the plate body 10 is positioned above the support surface 8 of the plate 1 by a distance (approximately 2 mm) obtained by combining the thicknesses of the plate body 10 and the support portion 11. Even if the amount of nail polish applied is too large and excess liquid drops from the edge of the plate body 10 to the support surface 8, the back movement of the liquid can be prevented.

Further, by supporting the plate body 10 in a horizontal position, it is possible to use the dominant hand to carry out the entire coating operation while viewing the portion having the same outline shape as the nail on the surface of the plate body 10. You can also mix two types of nail polish to create a marble pattern, or draw a picture or pattern called "art". Art drawing is not limited to nail polish, but oil-based paints and oil-based markers can also be used, allowing free drawing according to the user's sensibility.

The plate 1 of this embodiment can be stably supported on the support surface 8 even during drying, and the surface of the plate body 10 is not warped or wrinkled. can be maintained.

The nail polish that is first applied onto the coat layer 2 does not necessarily need to be applied to the entire coating target range. good. At that time, after drying the area where the nail polish layer was formed first, cover it with masking tape and then apply it to the area next to it, or scrape off a part of the dried nail polish layer to correct it. You can work hard to make it perfect.

In the example of FIG. 5, it is assumed that the asterisk S1 is associated with the smile line by the work shown in FIG. The nail polish application range in the length direction is limited to a position where the star S1 is hidden, and this position is adjusted according to the actual protrusion length of the nail from the smile line. For example, if the length of the protruding portion is close to 5 mm, the nail polish is applied up to about reaching the small asterisk S2.

Thus, by adjusting the application range of the nail polish so as to correspond to the range from the edge of the plate body 10 to the position corresponding to the tip of the nail, the nail polish decoration layer 3 is shorter than the user's nail. You can prevent it from happening. Further, by associating the asterisk S1 with the smile line, it is possible to easily adjust the application range of the nail polish according to the variation of the nail length from time to time.

The coating range of the base coat to be applied first is adjusted using the asterisk S2 as a guideline. exposed to the For example, when the nail polish coating range extends to the vicinity of the star S2, the boundary line of the coating liquid coating range is retreated to a position considerably inside the star S2.

FIG. 6 shows decoration layers 3 formed on both ends of each of the five plates 1A to 1E shown in FIG. 1 by carrying out the work shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 on each plate. An example is shown (illustration of the exposed portion of the coat layer 2 is omitted). The manicure sheet consisting of the decorative layer 3 and the coat layer 2 can be stored in a protective bag or the like while being adhered to the plate body 10 until the opportunity to use it arrives. Even after the manicure sheet is formed on the plate 1, the number N in the center can be seen through. can be easily determined.

Since the numeral N and the asterisks S1 and S2 in this embodiment are represented by recesses, if nail polish or the like is poured into these recesses to color them, the number N and the asterisks from the plate body 10 can be removed. Fluoroscopy of S1 and S2 can be made easier.

FIG. 7 shows a work procedure for peeling off the manicure sheet from the plate body 10 .
In this embodiment as well, the plate 1 is placed on a horizontal surface 8, and a cotton swab 15 soaked with nail polish remover is used to clean the end surface of the plate body 10 where the layers 2 and 3 of the manicure sheet are formed. An operation of wiping the end surfaces of the layers 2 and 3 that are connected to each other is carried out (FIG. 7(a)). By this operation, the nail polish remover adhering to each end face loosens the joint portion between the end edge portion of the manicure sheet and the plate body 10 so that it can be easily peeled off. In addition, when the nail polish overflowing from the plate body 10 adheres to the end surface of the plate body 10 and hardens, it can be removed.

As shown in FIG. 7A, the tip of a cotton swab 15 is brought into contact with the support surface 8, and the cotton swab 15 is firmly pressed against the end surface of the plate body 10, as shown in FIG. 7A. By doing so, a sufficient amount of the nail polish remover can be adhered to the plate body 10 and the end surfaces of the layers 2 and 3 . Also, even if the nail polish remover oozes out of the cotton swab 15, the liquid can escape to the gap between the plate body 10 and the support surface 8, so the nail polish remover seeps out onto the surface of the plate body 10. can prevent the decorative layer 3 from being damaged.

Note that the tool used for the wiping operation is not limited to the cotton swab 15, and a small brush or tweezers with cotton pinched may be used. Further, as the nail polish remover, in addition to a general liquid containing acetone as a main component, a non-acetone-based nail polish remover can also be used.

After the wiping operation with the remover is completed, a flexible adhesive tape 5 is attached to the exposed portion of the coat layer 2 outside the decoration layer 3 of the manicure sheet (Fig. 7(b)). The length of this adhesive tape 5 is set to about twice the length of the exposed area of the coat layer, and as shown in FIG. By doing so, the coat layer 2 can be peeled off from the plate body 10 . Since the decorative layer 3 is also kept in contact with the coat layer 2, the whole manicure sheet can be easily peeled off by continuing the lifting operation. After the peeling work is completed, the adhesive tape 5 is folded so as to sandwich the coat layer 2 (FIG. 7(d)), and the work shown in FIG. 8 is performed.

FIG. 8 shows a work procedure for attaching a manicure sheet separated from the plate body 10 to the nail.
First, a base coat is applied to the surface of the target nail (Fig. 8(a)), and a manicure sheet is attached thereon (Fig. 8(b)). In this mounting operation, the folded portion of the tape 5 used in the operation of FIG. 7 is pinched, and the entire sheet is gradually brought into contact with the surface of the nail while aligning each edge of the manicure sheet with the edge of the nail. When the sheet comes into contact with the entire nail, lightly press the sheet to make it adhere to the nail. Finally, by tearing off the tape 5 protruding from the tip of the nail, the tape 5 and the coating layer 2 sandwiched therebetween are removed (FIGS. 8(c) and 8(d)).

By removing the portion of the coat layer 2 protruding from the decoration layer 3 together with the tape 5, only the portion of the manicure sheet on which the decoration layer 3 is formed can be attached to the nail. Since this part is formed in the range molded according to the contour shape of the side edges and the bottom edge of the nail to be worn, the width of the sheet can be exactly matched to the nail. The tip of the sheet may protrude slightly from the nail, but even in that case, by pulling the tape 5 obliquely downward, the thin film protruding outside the tip edge of the nail can be removed together with the tape 5.例文帳に追加Even if the tip edge is trimmed with a nail file or the like, the target range is very small and does not impose a heavy burden.

As described above, in this embodiment, the edge of the manicure sheet is lifted from the plate body 10 by the nail polish remover, and the elasticity of the coat layer 2 due to the base coat is used to apply a force to pull up the coat layer 2, thereby removing the sheet. The whole is peeled off from the plate body 10. - 特許庁If the thickness of the coat layer 2 and the decorative layer 3 is sufficient, there is no fear that the layers 2 and 3 will be torn during the peeling work, and the sheet can be easily peeled off to proceed to the mounting work on the finger (Fig. 8). can be done. Also, by wiping the end face of the manicure sheet with a cotton swab 15 soaked with nail polish remover, the end face of the manicure sheet becomes thin enough to fit the nail. It can be finished in a natural state that does not change.

When peeling off the manicure sheet from the plate body 10, it is not essential to attach the adhesive tape 5 to the exposed portion of the coat layer 2, and it is also possible to partly turn over the exposed portion, pinch it and pull it up. However, by using the adhesive tape 5, the exposed portion of the coat layer 2 can be protected, and the peeling operation can be performed more steadily. In addition, the adhesive tape 5 can be used as a holding portion when attaching the manicure sheet to the nail, which facilitates the attachment work.

In the above embodiment, the coat layer 2 is exposed inside the decorative layer 3, and the entire nail polish sheet is peeled off from the plate body 10 by pulling up the exposed portion. may be the same size as the coat layer 2, and the surface of the edge portion of the range where the layers 2 and 3 overlap may be the object to be lifted first. Alternatively, while the application range of the coat layer 2 is limited to a position corresponding to the tip edge of the nail, the decoration layer 3 is extended so as to protrude inside the coat layer 2 so that the decoration layer 3 does not overlap the coat layer 2. Part may be pulled up first. In either case, since the stretchable coating layer 2 is provided on the majority of the manicure sheet, the edge of the manicure sheet on the side opposite to the edge that fits the bottom edge of the nail is pulled up. , the entire sheet can be easily peeled off from the plate body 10. - 特許庁

The operation of wiping the nail polish sheet and the end surface of the plate body 10 with a cotton swab 15 containing a nail polish remover (FIG. 7A) is not limited to immediately before peeling off the nail polish sheet from the plate body 10, but after the decorative layer 3 is completed. can be implemented at any time. However, when the manicure sheet is stored for a long period of time and the sheet dries, a base coat is applied to the surface of the decoration layer 3 to restore the elasticity of the manicure sheet, and the layer of the base coat is dried. It is desirable to move on to the operation of FIG. 7(b).

After the manicure sheet is attached to the nail, post-treatment such as applying a top coat to the surface of the decoration layer 3 to increase glossiness or attaching an accessory to the surface of the decoration layer 3 is performed according to the user's preference. It can be carried out. Moreover, the manicure sheet after attachment can be easily removed by applying a remover to the surface.

In this embodiment, the base coat was first applied to the plate body 10 in order to give elasticity to the manicure sheet and prevent the sheet from tearing. However, a top coat or a base/top coat liquid may be used. The coating liquid (see FIG. 8(a)) that is applied to the nails before the manicure sheet is attached need not be limited to the base coat for the same reason. Moreover, when manufacturing a manicure sheet that is intended to be worn for a long period of time, it is desirable to use a coating liquid that provides the highest possible stretchability.

By the way, since the surface of the plate main body 10 of this embodiment has a satin finish by embossing, the back surface of the lowermost coat layer 2 of the manicure sheet formed thereon has a fine uneven surface reflecting the satin finish. Become. Utilizing this, instead of exposing the surface of the decoration layer 3 of the manicure sheet, the sheet is turned upside down so that the coat layer 2, which is the bottom layer, is exposed to the front, and the sheet is attached to the nail, thereby increasing the gloss. Subdued and sober decorations can be applied to the nails.

When the manicure sheet peeled off from the plate main body 10 is attached face down, first draw a picture or pattern as an art on the surface of the plate main body 10, wait for it to dry, apply a base coat, and coat with the base coat. A manicure sheet may be produced by applying a manicure liquid on the layer 2 . In that case, as shown in FIG. 9, a sheet piece 9 (paper or plastic film, etc.) showing a sketch of art is inserted into the gap between the support surface 8 of the plate 1 and the plate body 10, and the sketch is placed. By tracing and copying onto the plate body 10, even a person with poor artistic sense can easily draw an attractive picture or pattern.

When drawing art for the first time, when it becomes necessary to correct a part of the drawn art, it can be easily and freely corrected by scraping off the corrected part with a tool with a sharp tip such as a toothpick. It can be performed. Also, if you draw the art first and attach the completed manicure sheet to the nail with the art layer facing out, use a top coat that dries quickly and does not easily dissolve the paint (for example, the product name Seche Vite). By coating, you can protect the layers of art.

In addition to nail polish, acrylic paint can also be used for the art that is drawn before the base coat is applied, and it is also possible to use a combination such as drawing an outline shape with acrylic paint and then applying nail polish to the inside. be. When acrylic paint is used, it is desirable to use a solvent such as ethanol that has the effect of preventing the drawn solution from being repelled.

Regardless of how the manicure sheet is manufactured, the plate 1 from which the manicure sheet has been peeled off can be used again to manufacture a new manicure sheet.

By increasing the thickness slightly, the need for a support can be eliminated.

Manicure plates according to the present invention, including variations, are not restricted to using both left and right fabrication areas, and only one fabrication area is sized and contoured to fit the nail. , and only the processed area may be used for manufacturing nail polish sheets. Even when the left and right manufacturing regions are processed and used, they may correspond to the same fingernail instead of corresponding to the left and right fingernails. In other words, there is also a method of using one plate for each nail to produce two types of manicure sheets with different designs.

Assuming that only one nail is to be used, the length of the plate may be reduced to about half that of the above embodiment.
