Title: Mask for finger nail extensions
Inventor: TURNER GARY
IPC: A45D29/00
Filed: 2006-10-26
Abstract: Nail extensions 4 are generally made of plastic materials and are secured to the ends of growing fingernails 2 using adhesive. The extensions are then trimmed, dressed and carefully manicured. The manicuring process involves a painting step, particularly when it is required to cover paler new growth 3b of the nail after a period of time, which is both time-consuming and difficult. The present invention eliminates the need for hand-painting and further enhances the appearance and appeal of nail extensions by the use of a thin, pre-cut nail masking material 5 that is placed over the nail bed. The masking material may then be trimmed flush with the edges of the nail extension and sealed onto it using varnish or other nail care products. The nail masking material may be white or coloured or alternatively, may be digitally processed to include coloured patterns, abstracts or any other desired image.
