Patent ID: 8492454

Claim:
A polymerizable nail coating composition comprising: at least one addition-polymerizable, ethylenically-unsaturated monomer; at least one reactive urethane (meth)acrylate; at least one plasticizer having the general structure RCO—OR′ where RCO—represents a carboxylic acid radical, where —OR′ is an alcohol residue, and where R and R′ are fatty radicals having 6 to 30 saturated or unsaturated carbon atoms; at least one non-reactive, solvent-dissolvable polymer; and at least one non-reactive solvent; wherein upon exposure to a polymerization accelerant, said polymerizable composition cures to an acrylic thermoset having voids defined therein, and wherein said nail coating comprises a sufficient amount of non-reactive, solvent-dissolvable polymer and non-reactive solvent such that, when cured to form an acrylic thermoset on the surface of a nail, the acrylic thermoset is removable from a nail surface within 20 minutes upon exposure to organic solvent.
