Claim:
A nail polish appliqué comprising: an adhesive layer applied atop a substrate; a first nail enamel layer applied atop said adhesive layer and having a first color, said first enamel layer comprising partially dried enamel; and, a second nail enamel layer applied atop said first color layer and having a second color different from said first color, said second nail enamel layer comprising partially dried enamel, said second nail enamel layer being translucent such that said first nail enamel layer is at least partially visible through said second nail enamel layer, said first nail enamel layer blocking the passage of a color of a nail therethrough when said nail polish appliqué is applied to the nail such that the color of the nail is inhibited from showing through said second nail enamel layer and affecting the appearance of said second nail enamel layer, said second nail enamel layer covering the entire upper surface of said first nail enamel layer such that said first and second colors of said first and second nail enamel layers, respectively, combine to provide an enhanced color appearance to said nail polish appliqué, said substrate, said first nail enamel layer and said second nail enamel layer being substantially nail-shaped.
