Description

  The present invention relates to a container for containing an artificial nail composition. In particular, the present invention relates to a container (artificial nail composition container) in which an artificial nail composition constituting an artificial nail that is cured by ultraviolet irradiation (so-called gel nail) is contained.

  In recent years, the popularity of nail art for designing hands and toenails has increased, and various techniques for forming artificial nails (fake nails) made of synthetic resin on nails (self nails) have been proposed. In particular, artificial nails (gels) that have been cured by irradiating ultraviolet rays after applying a gel-like artificial nail composition (gel nail composition) containing a urethane-based resin, acrylic resin, or the like and a photopolymerizable monomer to the nails. Nail) has attracted attention for the reason that the finish is clear (for example, Patent Document 1).

  Gel nails are also popular because they have better adhesion to nails and last longer than nail polish. In other words, manicure peels off from nails in a few days in daily life, whereas gel nails have many weeks and are popular.

  Some gel nails have a pearl color (pearl), but the gel nails actually do not contain pearls, and pigments give a pearl-like color. It is only a so-called pseudo pearl. The present inventor can express the fact that real pearls or pearls or pearl shells are blended by mixing pearl powder or pearl shells powder into the gel nail composition, and by blending this, the functionality can be expressed. As a result, the present invention has been conceived.

  This invention is made | formed in view of this point, The main objective is related with the container (container for artificial nail compositions) in which the novel artificial nail composition (gel nail composition) was accommodated.

  A container according to the present invention is a container that contains an artificial nail composition that constitutes an artificial nail that is cured by ultraviolet irradiation, and is held by the container main body portion that holds the artificial nail composition, and the container main body portion. An application part for applying the artificial nail composition to the nail, and the artificial nail composition contains an ultraviolet curable resin and a pearl powder dispersed in the ultraviolet curable resin.

  The inventor of the present application hoped to solve the problems of artificial nail (gel nail) cured by ultraviolet irradiation, such as nail athlete's foot, miscellaneous bacteria propagation, and mold generation. One of the reasons for this occurrence is thought to be a gap between the self-nail and the gel nail and the propagation of germs there. On the other hand, in the gel nail industry, although there are gel nails having a structure that prevents mold from growing, the antibacterial material gel nails are not sold or popularized. In the gel nail industry, in fact, there were some cleanliness before applying gel nails, clean the equipment used, the use of mold-resistant structures, nail athlete's foot treatments, and so on.

  The inventor of the present application has found that this gel nail has an antibacterial effect when developing a pearl color gel nail of a natural pearl component in which pearl powder is dispersed in an ultraviolet curable resin. The artificial nail composition (gel nail composition) in which pearl powder made of natural materials is dispersed in UV curable resin has an antibacterial effect, without using a strong antibacterial agent that adversely affects the human body, and An antibacterial gel nail with a natural pearl color that is also superior in nail art will be constructed. Furthermore, the artificial nail composition (gel nail composition) containing pearl powder also has the effect of reducing the amount of chemical substances (volatile organic compounds), and therefore, a volatile substance that diffuses out of the container of the present invention. The amount of (VOC) can be reduced, and the possibility of odor discomfort and allergy to the practitioner and / or user can be reduced. In addition, since pearls and pearl oyster shells are natural calcium, the adverse effect on the nails decreases as the blending amount is increased, and the nails are less likely to be damaged than conventional gel nails.

  JP-A 2010-195589 proposes an odorless and safe nail polish that does not use an organic solvent. This nail varnish is a mixture of fine powder of shellfish (scallops) in an aqueous emulsion without using an organic solvent. However, when the inventor of the present application actually used this nail polish, it seemed that a transparent liquid was applied rather than having a pearl color, and the durability was also twofold. It did not have a day. In addition, this publication discloses nail polish, but does not mention or suggest gel nails.

  The present invention was created based on this viewpoint. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following drawings, components having substantially the same function are denoted by the same reference numerals for the sake of brevity. In addition, this invention is not limited to the following embodiment.

  A container (gel nail container) 100 for an artificial nail composition according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b). Fig.1 (a) and (b) are figures which show the structure of the container 100 of this embodiment. FIG. 1A is a diagram illustrating a state in which the lid portion 35 is removed, while FIG. 1B is a diagram illustrating a state in which the lid portion 35 is tightened.

  A container (gel nail container) 100 according to this embodiment is a container in which an artificial nail composition constituting an artificial nail is accommodated. The “artificial nail” in the present embodiment is a gel nail that is cured by ultraviolet irradiation or visible light. Moreover, the artificial nail composition of this embodiment is a composition (gel nail composition) which changes into an artificial nail (gel nail) by being cured by ultraviolet irradiation. “Gel nail” is an artificial nail made using a gel of a photo-curing resin (for example, acrylic resin) that is cured with ultraviolet rays or visible light. An ultraviolet lamp or an LED lamp is applied to the gel nail composition applied to the nail. It is formed by irradiating the light.

  The container 100 of this embodiment includes a container body 20 that holds an artificial nail composition (gel nail composition) 10, and an application unit 30 that applies the artificial nail composition 10 held in the container body 20 to the nail. It is composed of Moreover, the artificial nail composition 10 of this embodiment contains resin (ultraviolet curable resin) which hardens | cures with an ultraviolet-ray or visible light, and the pearl powder disperse | distributed to the resin. In the present embodiment, not only those that are cured by ultraviolet rays but also those that are cured by light in the visible region are referred to as ultraviolet curable resins.

  The illustrated container body 20 has a bottle shape. A bottle opening 24 having an opening 25 into which the artificial nail composition 10 can be introduced is formed on the upper part of the container body 20. In addition, a lid 35 that closes the opening 25 is attached to the bin opening 24. The container body 20 of the present embodiment is made of a plastic material (for example, high density polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), etc.) or glass. From the viewpoint of not being damaged, the container body 20 is preferably made of a plastic material.

  In the configuration of the present embodiment, the application unit 30 that applies the artificial nail composition 10 is attached to the lid 35. The application unit 30 is a member such as a brush or a brush pen. In the illustrated example, the application unit 30 is attached to the tip of a support bar 32 extending from the inside of the top surface of the lid 35. That is, the application unit 30 is fixed to the lid 35 by the support bar 32 that supports the application unit 30. Therefore, by holding the lid portion 35 by hand, the gel nail can be applied to the nail by bringing the application portion 30 located at the tip of the support bar 32 into contact with the nail.

  In the container 100 of the present embodiment, screw portions (26, 36) are respectively formed on the outer surface of the bin mouth portion 24 and the portion 36 of the lid portion 35 corresponding to the outer surface of the bin mouth portion 24. Therefore, after inserting the support rod 32 of the lid portion 35 into the opening portion 25 of the bin mouth portion 24, the lid portion 35 is fastened to the bin mouth portion 24, whereby as shown in FIG. The container body 20) can be sealed. In this sealed state, when the container 100 is moved, the artificial nail composition (gel nail composition) 10 in the container body 20 does not leak to the outside.

  In the state shown in FIG. 1B, the application part (or brush part) 30 of the lid part (applicator) 35 is located on or near the bottom surface inside the container body part 20, and the application part 30 is Soaked by the artificial nail composition 10. When the artificial nail composition 10 is applied to the nail by the lid (applicator) 35, the lid 35 is removed from the state shown in FIG. 1 (b) and the state shown in FIG. 1 (a) is obtained. Then, the artificial nail composition 10 applied to the application part 30 may be applied to the nail.

  As described above, the artificial nail composition (gel nail composition) 10 of this embodiment contains an ultraviolet curable resin that is cured by ultraviolet rays (or visible light) and pearl powder dispersed in the ultraviolet curable resin. Yes. In a preferred example, in addition to the solvent used to dissolve the UV curable resin, organic solvents (specifically, 54 specific organic solvents commonly used in the nail industry) are not included. The artificial nail composition 10 is composed only of an ultraviolet curable resin and pearl powder.

  The ultraviolet curable resin of the material constituting the artificial nail composition (gel nail composition) 10 is a gel-like resin such as urethane acrylic resin, for example, and the gel is irradiated by irradiating light from an ultraviolet lamp or an LED lamp. It can be cured. Specific examples of the ultraviolet curable resin include a urethane resin and an acrylic resin. Gel nail is a photopolymerization reaction in which a fluid synthetic resin (viscous liquid) is applied to the nails and cured by irradiation with ultraviolet rays (UV-A) or visible rays (Vis). It is used for nails as a nail material. In the present embodiment, it is referred to as an ultraviolet curable resin, but not only those that are strictly cured by ultraviolet rays, but also those that are cured by light in the visible region may be referred to as ultraviolet curable resins.

  By irradiating the artificial nail composition 10 with ultraviolet rays (or ultraviolet-visible light), the artificial nail composition 10 is photopolymerized (photopolymerized) and cured. The main component of the artificial nail composition 10 is an ultraviolet curable resin, and typically a urethane resin or an acrylic resin is used. Specifically, a urethane acrylate oligomer, an epoxy acrylate oligomer, a methacrylic acid ester monomer, an acrylic acid oligomer, and a photopolymerization initiator (photoinitiator) are integrated. A photopolymerization initiator (photoinitiator) is a polymerization initiator for gel nails, which generates radicals (unpaired electrons) by absorbing light (ultraviolet light and visible light) and becomes a starting point for polymerization. It is.

  The pearl powder of this embodiment is a pearl particle or a pearl shell particle. A pearl powder composed of pearl particles can be produced using a machine that crushes pearls into fine particles. Moreover, the particle | grains (fine powder) of a pearl mother shell (for example, pearl oyster shell) can be produced by grind | pulverizing a pearl mother shell, for example. The mother-of-pearl shell is a shell that produces pearls or cultured pearls, and the inside of the shell exhibits a beautiful pearl luster. Examples of the pearl mother shell include pearl oyster shell, pearl oyster shell, black butterfly shell, white butterfly shell, and shellfish shell. The particles of the pearl powder are merely examples, but have an average particle diameter of 1 μm to 800 μm (in one example, 300 μm or less, or 3 μm to 300 μm, or about 3 μm), and about 30% (mass%) of the ultraviolet curable resin ( For example, 20 to 40%) can be contained.

  Further, by genetically manipulating pearl oyster shells (for example, pearl oyster shells), colors such as gold, pink, black, blue, and silver can be generated. Can be formed. The genetic manipulation in the pearl oyster shell can be performed using a known technique, and a predetermined white pearl powder can be obtained by pulverizing the genetically manipulated pearl pearl shell into fine particles. Since pearl oyster shells (for example, pearl oyster shells) are discarded as garbage, they are effectively used. Further, as described above, instead of (or with) the pearl mother shell powder, pearl particles (fine powder) may be contained in the ultraviolet curable resin. In addition, if the pearl which is not so high in the shape and quality which cannot be used as a jewel is grind | pulverized and the particle | grains are used, it can be prevented from becoming large in cost.

  Next, referring to FIGS. 2A to 2C, the artificial nail composition 10 of the present embodiment is applied to the nail 52 of the user (user) 50, and the gel nail ( The process of forming the (artificial nail) 15 will be described.

  First, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), the artificial nail composition 10 of the present embodiment is attached to the tip part (application part) 30 of an application tool (lid part) 35 such as a brush or brush pen, It is brought closer to the nail 52 of the user (user) 50. The artificial nail composition 10 of this example is stored in the container 100 shown in FIG.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2B, the artificial nail composition 10 attached to the tip portion 30 of the applicator 35 is applied to the nail 52. The gel-like ultraviolet curable resin constituting the artificial nail composition 10 is positioned on the nail 52, and the coating film 15 is formed. As shown in FIG. 2 (c), after applying the artificial nail composition 10 to the fingernails that need to be applied (here, all fingernails 52), the coating film 15 is irradiated with light from an ultraviolet lamp. By irradiating, the coating film 15 (that is, the artificial nail composition 10) can be cured. That is, a gel nail (artificial nail) is formed by this. The thickness of the coating film 15 depends on the solution concentration, the coating amount, and the like of the artificial nail composition 10 to be used, but is, for example, 5 mm or less (in the example, about 5 mm to 0.01 mm).

  Since the artificial nail composition 10 of the present embodiment contains pearl powder dispersed in an ultraviolet curable resin, the coating film 15 and the gel nail on which the coating film 15 is cured become pearl. This pearl color is a natural pearl color and is different from other fake pearl colors.

  The density | concentration of the pearl powder in the artificial nail composition 10 of this embodiment is 0.1 to 50% (mass%), for example, and others are ultraviolet curable resin. In another example, at least one of a fragrance and an antibacterial agent can be contained together with the ultraviolet curable resin. Further, the artificial nail composition 10 may contain a pigment for coloring gel nails, for example, by adding a pigment (including lame that produces gloss and shine such as mica and mica), The coating film 15 formed from the artificial nail composition 10 can be changed not only to a pearl color but also to a colored transparent or colored opaque one. In addition, since the artificial nail composition 10 includes a component that evaporates after application, the concentration of the pearl powder in the state of the artificial nail composition 10 is merely an example, and if the coating film 15 can be formed, It is not particularly limited. The artificial nail composition 10 can be added with other functional substances (for example, substances such as fragrances that emit scents).

  The artificial nail composition 10 can be applied only to some of the nails 52 in addition to the case where the artificial nail composition 10 is applied to all the nails 52. Further, the artificial nail composition 10 can be applied to a part of one nail 52 (for example, only the front end side of the nail 52) in addition to the case where the artificial nail composition 10 is applied to all the areas of one nail 52. is there. The artificial nail composition 10 can be applied to the nail 52 in a state where a base coat is applied to the nail 52. It is also possible to apply a top coat on the surface of the gel nail obtained by curing the artificial nail composition 10.

  In addition, it is also possible to attach a nail stone (not shown) together with the gel nail (or the coating film 15) composed of the artificial nail composition 10. The nail stone can be attached to the surface of the coating film 15. If the nail stone is placed on the coating film 15 in the gel state before the coating film 15 is cured, and then the coating film 15 is cured, it is convenient to attach the nail stone. Nail stones have various materials and types, and have various shapes and colors, and are not particularly limited to specific types and shapes. Nail stones include Swarovski (stones manufactured by Swarovski), acrylic or glass stone (stone made of acrylic or glass), pearl stone (stones processed like pearls, hemispherical acrylic Pearl color) and bryons (stones of small granular type of spheres).

When the inventor of the present application conducted an antibacterial test of the artificial nail composition 10 of the present embodiment, the artificial nail composition 10 was found to have antibacterial properties. The blending ratio (mass%) of the pearl powder in the artificial nail composition 10 of this test example is 50% or less, specifically 20%. This test method is JIS Z 2801 ²⁰¹⁰ , 5. The test bacteria are Staphylococcus aureus NBRC 12732 and Escherichia coli NBRC 3972. In the artificial nail composition 10 of the present embodiment, antibacterial properties were recognized for both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. A polyethylene film was used as the unprocessed test piece.

  In the case of the artificial nail composition 10 of the present embodiment, the common logarithm of the viable cell count for Staphylococcus aureus was <-0.20, the antibacterial activity value was> 4.8, and antibacterial properties were recognized. The unprocessed test piece of Reference Example for Staphylococcus aureus was 4.1 immediately after inoculation with the bacterial solution and 4.7 after 24 hours of culture, and no antibacterial activity was observed. Further, in the case of the artificial nail composition 10 of the present embodiment, the common logarithm of the viable cell count for Escherichia coli was 3.6, the antibacterial activity value was> 2.1, and antibacterial properties were recognized. The unprocessed test piece of the reference example for E. coli was 4.1 immediately after inoculation with the bacterial solution, and 5.8 after 24 hours of culture, and no antibacterial activity was observed. Here, as an accreditation standard for antibacterial effect, the antibacterial activity value (bacteriostatic activity value) is 2.1 or more. In addition, even when the pearl powder of this embodiment was added to the resin for gel nail (ultraviolet curable resin) so as to exhibit antibacterial properties, there was no effect to prevent the antibacterial properties of the resin.

  When the artificial nail composition 10 of the present embodiment has antibacterial properties, the coating film 15 (and the cured gel nail) formed from the artificial nail composition 10 of the present embodiment can have antibacterial properties. . Therefore, in the artificial nail (gel nail) comprised from the artificial nail composition 10 of this embodiment, propagation of bacteria (miscellaneous bacteria) can be suppressed by the antibacterial effect. That is, when the artificial nail composition 10 of the present embodiment is used, it is possible to suppress or prevent the propagation of various bacteria on the surface of the nail 52 (the surface of the gel nail). The nail 52 (the surface of the gel nail) may touch the mouth or touch the periphery of the eyeball, and it is not hygienic for bacteria to propagate on the surface of the nail 52. In particular, rubbing your eyes with unsanitary nails can cause eye disease. Therefore, by providing the gel nail of this embodiment with antibacterial properties, the hygienic advantage of preventing the propagation of various bacteria on the nail 52 is great.

  Further, since the pearl powder dispersed in the ultraviolet curable resin of the artificial nail composition 10 is a naturally-derived component that is harmless to the human body, it is excellent in safety. Therefore, the ultraviolet curable resin constituting the artificial nail composition 10 The artificial nail composition 10 containing pearl powder does not adversely affect the human body beyond the influence (adverse effect) exerted on the human body. In addition, since there is no guarantee that adhesion and propagation of bacteria other than E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus will never occur, the powder must be subjected to sterilization such as gas sterilization in order to prevent unexpected adhesion and growth of bacteria. It is preferable to mix.

  Moreover, although the artificial nail composition 10 of this embodiment was used as a gel nail body portion, the artificial nail composition 10 was used for a base coat and / or top coat by utilizing the antibacterial properties of the artificial nail composition 10. You can also In the above description, the case where the artificial nail composition 10 is mainly applied to the nail 52 of the hand has been described. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the artificial nail composition 10 may be applied to the toenail. Furthermore, it may be applied to not only human nails but also artificial nails (such as false nails). It is also possible to attach the cured film 15 made of the artificial nail composition 10 to a human nail as a decorated unique nail.

  In addition, in order to further improve the antibacterial properties of the artificial nail composition 10 of the present embodiment, the artificial nail composition 10 can contain other antibacterial materials. Examples of such antibacterial materials include silver ions (Ag +) and titanium oxide. In an example of a preferred embodiment, the artificial nail composition 10 is composed of an ultraviolet curable resin, a pearl powder, and an antibacterial material (silver ions) (a pigment is added if necessary) ) By adding an additional antibacterial material to the artificial nail composition 10, the type of UV curable resin can be changed (especially when using a new UV curable resin different from the conventional one), or the amount of pearl powder can be changed. Even in this case, the coating film 15 (gel nail) composed of the artificial nail composition 10 can be provided with antibacterial properties stably.

  In the artificial nail composition 10 containing silver ions, propagation of bacteria (miscellaneous bacteria) can be suppressed by the antibacterial effect of the silver ions of the artificial nail composition 10. Silver ions (Ag +) having antibacterial properties can be used in the form of, for example, silver ion water or silver nanoparticles. Silver ion (Ag +) is a silver ion existing as a cation in which electrons are removed from silver (Ag) as an atom, and the size of a so-called atom of about 200 picometers is almost the same as a silver atom. It is a size. Silver ions can be generated, for example, by eluting silver in water by electrolysis. In the case of silver ion water, silver ions are liberated independently in water molecules and basically exist in an ionic state in water. There are two main methods for producing silver ions: an electrolysis method in which a current is passed through a pure silver electrode in water to generate silver ions, and a chemical method in which a chemical containing a silver ion component is added to water. . Silver nanoparticles are particles with silver in the order of nanometers. It is also possible to use silver nanoparticles in which finely divided silver ions are held in alumina silica, which is a mineral.

  Silver ions strongly adsorb to various bacterial cells, and can be killed by blocking bacterial cell enzymes. Therefore, bacterial growth can be controlled by silver ions. Silver ions have a relatively strong antibacterial effect and are extremely safe for the human body. Therefore, the artificial nail composition 10 and the gel nail are mistaken for the human mouth. Even if it enters, the problem by silver ion does not arise substantially. Note that both silver ions and pearl powder are suitable in that respect because they are highly safe for the human body. In the configuration of the present embodiment, the silver ions (antibacterial material) can be 10% (mass%) or less in the artificial nail composition 10, and typically 5% (mass%) or about 5%. be able to.

  Moreover, although the structure which mix | blended silver ion (Ag +) as an antibacterial material was demonstrated, it is also possible to mix | blend another antibacterial material with the artificial nail composition 10 on the conditions which show an antibacterial effect. For example, instead of silver ion (or together with silver ion), titanium oxide can be added, or silver ion, titanium oxide, and other antibacterial materials (for example, catechin, chitosan, hinokitiol) are used. Is also possible. Titanium oxide can be contained in the artificial nail composition 10 in order to exhibit the characteristics of UV cut (ultraviolet ray cut). Other antibacterial materials include inorganic antibacterial agents (using the bacteriostatic action of metal ions) and organic antibacterial agents (antibacterial agents using organic substances. Synthetic antibacterial agents or natural antibacterial agents). it can.

  The container 100 according to the present embodiment includes a container main body that holds the artificial nail composition 10 and an application unit 30 that applies the artificial nail composition 10, and the artificial nail composition 10 is dispersed in an ultraviolet curable resin. Contains powder. Therefore, the application part 30 in the container 100 of this embodiment can form a pearl-colored artificial nail (gel nail) made of pearl powder. The artificial nail (gel nail) made of an ultraviolet curable resin in which pearl powder is dispersed exhibits antibacterial properties, so that it is possible to suppress the propagation of germs and the generation of mold occurring in the state where the artificial nail (gel nail) is formed. it can. Further, since pearls and pearl oyster shells are natural calcium, the adverse effect on the nail is reduced as the blending amount is increased, and the nails are less likely to be damaged than the conventional gel nail.

  In the field of artificial nails that harden when exposed to ultraviolet rays or visible light, nail athlete's foot, miscellaneous bacteria propagation, mold generation, etc. may be raised as problems, but antibacterial gel nails are sold or popularized. There was no actual situation. In the configuration of the present embodiment, a natural pearl gel nail is constructed and antibacterial properties are exhibited by the artificial nail composition 10 containing pearl powder. It is believed that the problems such as nail athlete's foot, miscellaneous breeding, mold generation, etc. are caused by a gap between the nail and the gel nail, and the germs breed there, but in the configuration of this embodiment, Since the artificial nail composition (gel nail composition) 10 itself has antibacterial properties, it is possible to suppress the propagation of germs (or molds) in such gaps. Therefore, unlike the nail cleaner in the gel nail industry, clean the appliances used, use a mold-resistant structure, use nail athlete's foot remedy, etc. More direct treatment can be easily applied to problems such as athlete's foot, miscellaneous bacteria propagation, and mold generation.

  Further, the inventors of the present application have confirmed through experiments that the artificial nail composition 10 containing pearl powder (for example, powder derived from white butterfly shells) has an effect of reducing the amount of chemical substances (volatile organic compounds). This reduction in the amount of chemical substance can be confirmed by performing a formaldehyde test on the artificial nail composition 10 of the present embodiment. Specifically, the artificial nail composition 10 was extracted with 100 ml of purified water at 40 ° C. for 1 hour, and JIS L-1041: 2000 (resin-processed fabric and test method for fabric 6.3 free formaldehyde test, 6.3. 1 Liquid Phase Extraction Method b) Acetylacetone Method Method B) can be carried out by measuring the absorbance.

  When the artificial nail composition 10 of the present embodiment can suppress the generation of chemical substances (volatile organic compounds), the amount of volatile organic compounds that are exposed outside the container 100 of the present embodiment can be reduced. it can. As a result, a practitioner who applies the artificial nail composition 10 to the nail 52 and / or a user who has the nail 52 to which the artificial nail composition 10 is applied has no odor due to volatile organic compounds. Pleasure can be reduced.

  In addition, the artificial nail composition 10 can contain a far-infrared emitting material that emits far-infrared rays. Examples of the far infrared radiation material include ceramic and charcoal (Bincho charcoal and the like). By making the artificial nail composition 10 contain a far-infrared emitting material, far-infrared rays can be emitted from the gel nail formed from the artificial nail composition 10. Therefore, the effect that blood circulation can be promoted by this far infrared ray can be obtained. In the configuration of the present embodiment, the far-infrared radiation material can be contained in the artificial nail composition 10 (or the coating film 15) at around 10% (mass%) (for example, 5% to 20%).

  In addition, the artificial nail composition 10 may contain power stone powder obtained by pulverizing a power stone such as natural stone. Power stones are stones that are considered to have a certain kind of special power among precious stones and semi-precious stones. The scope of power stone is basically jewelry, but not limited to it, biological materials such as shell and ivory, precious metals such as gold and silver, base metals such as copper, food materials such as fossil and rock salt May be used as a power stone. Examples of power stone powders contained in the artificial nail composition 10 of the present embodiment include jade powder and crystal powder. According to the gel nail using the artificial nail composition 10 containing the power stone powder, the nail 52 can be coated with a power stone, and the color of the power stone powder can be used as a pigment. For example, it is possible to construct a pearl-colored gel nail containing gold powder by including gold powder in the artificial nail composition 10.

  Further, the artificial nail composition 10 can contain a fragrance. If the fragrance is not contained even if the fragrance is contained in the ultraviolet curable resin constituting the artificial nail composition 10, the nanocapsule (the fragrance is included in the capsule) that does not dissolve in the organic solvent and is scented by physical pressure. )) Can be taken. In particular, even when liquid fragrance is dispersed in an ultraviolet curable resin, the artificial nail composition 10 may not smell. However, when such a nanocapsule is used, the capsule breaks from the surface of the nail 52 and is released from there. A fragrance of dripping fragrance can be produced.

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration of the container 100 as shown in FIG. 1 is shown, but the container of the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. For example, the applicator 30 is not limited to a part of the lid 35 in the container 100, and the applicator 30 may be formed separately from the lid 35. In addition, the container 100 of the present invention may have a pen-type configuration as shown in FIG.

  In the container 100 shown in FIG. 3, the container main body 40 that houses the artificial nail composition 10 has a cylindrical shape. The application part 42 is disposed at the tip of the conical part 43 extending from the container main body part 40. In this example, the application unit 42 is configured like a brush part at the tip of a brush pen. The inside of the container main body 40 and the application unit 42 are connected, and the artificial nail composition 10 stored in the container main body 40 is sequentially supplied to the application unit 42. The artificial nail composition 10 can be applied to the nail 52 by the application unit 42 to which the artificial nail composition 10 is sequentially supplied.

  A sealing portion (bottomed cylindrical member) 47 that seals the rear end opening of the container main body 40 is provided at the rear end of the container main body 40. When the sealing portion 47 is removed, the rear end opening of the container body 40 is exposed, and the artificial nail composition 10 can be filled from the rear end opening. In the illustrated configuration example, a cap portion 45 that accommodates the conical portion 43 and the application portion (brush portion) 42 is attached. In this example, threaded portions (43 a, 45 a) are formed on the outer surface of the conical portion 43 and the inner surface of the cap portion 45. Can be made.

  The cap part 45 may be a system that can be fixed by being inserted along the major axis direction of the container body 40 instead of being rotated and fitted into the conical part 43. Further, the sealing portion 47 may be fixed to the container main body portion 40 by a threading rotation method, or may be fixed by another method (for example, a method of inserting along the major axis direction of the container main body portion 40). May be. In the container 100 shown in FIG. 3, the container main body 40 has a cylindrical shape, but is not limited thereto, and other forms (such as a hexagonal cylinder) may be employed.

  In the pen-type container 100 shown in FIG. 3, the supply passage from the container body 40 to the application unit 42 is provided so that the pearl powder contained in the artificial nail composition 10 can be continuously supplied to the application unit 42. It is required to design a member (for example, a porous member). When the particle size of the pearl powder is 300 μm or less, the particle size becomes the same level as that of the pigment, so that it can be easily supplied to the application unit 42 of the pen-type container 100. In an example of the present embodiment, the particle size of the pearl powder can be about 3 μm, and in that case, a member of the supply passage from the container body 40 to the application unit 42 for easily passing the pearl powder is produced. can do. Although the container main body 40 of the present embodiment is made of resin, the container main body 40 may be transparent so that the artificial nail composition 10 accommodated therein can be seen. Alternatively, the container body 40 may be made of an opaque material, and a part of the container body 40 may be transparent so that the remaining amount of the artificial nail composition 10 can be recognized.

  This pen-type container 100 is convenient because the artificial nail composition 10 can be continuously applied to the nail 52. Further, since the container 100 has an elongated shape, it does not take up a large storage space, so that it is convenient to store and carry.

  Moreover, in the container 100 shown in FIG. 1, it is also possible to sink the pearl 60 inside the container main body 20 as shown in FIG. By putting the pearl 60 in this way, the dispersion of the pearl powder in the artificial nail composition 10 is improved, and the aesthetic appearance of the pearl 60 can be improved. It is also possible to put something like a power stone instead of the pearl 60.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the container (container for artificial nail compositions) in which the novel artificial nail composition (gel nail composition) was accommodated can be provided.
