DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transfer sheet for providing a decorative metal pattern on a nail, a method for producing the same, and a method for making a nail using the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method of applying nails, a method of applying a nail varnish to nails has been generally practiced, and nail varnishes containing various coloring agents have been developed.
There is also known a nail polish sheet which is directly applied to nails instead of applying a nail polish.

[0003] Some nail polish sheets have a metal foil pattern. However, since the sheet having the pattern is adhered to the nail in accordance with the contour of the nail as it is, a nail polish as a base for the user is used. It was not possible to uniquely apply decorative decoration to nails by combining the colors and various foil patterns.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention,
Providing a transfer sheet that can arbitrarily apply a metal foil pattern to nail polish, and using it, easily,
An object of the present invention is to provide a method capable of decorating nails.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the above object has been attained by providing a cosmetic transfer sheet for nails in which a metal thin film pattern is directly provided on a release surface of a transparent resin film. .

The metal thin film pattern may be further adhered to a release surface of a release sheet via an adhesive layer. In this case, the metal thin film pattern having a thickness of a micron unit is transparent until use. It is kept between the resin film and the release sheet, and becomes easier to handle.

In this transfer sheet, a thermosensitive toner is adhered to a carrier in a desired pattern by electrostatic copying, and then a thin metal film is sandwiched between the toner surface and the release surface of the transparent resin film. After heating and pressurizing, the carrier on which the toner is adhered is peeled off, and a metal thin film pattern is left on the surface of the transparent resin film in a negative shape of the pattern.
The metal thin film pattern is protected with a release sheet by applying and drying an adhesive on the surface of the metal thin film pattern, placing the release surface of the release sheet on the adhesive layer, and pressing the release sheet. At the same time, the transfer of the metal thin film pattern may be made more reliable.

The carrier may be any carrier to which the heat-sensitive toner can be attached by electrostatic copying, and any ordinary paper or film sheet can be used.

As the transparent resin film, any of various synthetic resin films can be used, and a film of a polyolefin or the like having a good release property may be used as it is. It is preferable to form a release surface by applying a release agent to the surface. Here, "transparent" means that a metal thin film pattern formed on one surface thereof can be seen through, and may be translucent.

Next, as the metal thin film, it is generally preferable to use a metal foil (punched foil), which may be a colored foil, but it is preferable to use a metal thin film formed by metal evaporation or sputtering. Is also possible.

The heating temperature at the time of heating and pressing with the metal thin film sandwiched between the carrier with the toner attached and the release surface of the transparent resin film may be any temperature at which the toner is softened.
Usually, a temperature of about 100 to 180 ° C can be used. In addition,
The degree of pressurization is arbitrary and is not particularly limited.

After heating and pressing, the carrier on which the toner is adhered is peeled off. At this time, the metal thin film remains on the transparent resin film surface in a negative shape of the toner pattern on the carrier surface, and the remaining metal thin film adheres to the toner. In the state, it is removed together with the carrier. That is, a metal thin film pattern of a desired pattern (a negative shape of a toner pattern) is formed on the surface of the transparent resin film.

Next, if necessary, an adhesive is applied to the surface of the metal thin film pattern and dried, and the release surface of a release sheet is placed on the adhesive layer and pressed. The pressure-sensitive adhesive is not particularly limited, and a commercially available dilute solution of an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive may be used.

The nail making method using the transfer sheet of the present invention is, for example, a method of applying a nail polish to the surface of a nail, drying the nail, and forming a metal thin film pattern on a release surface of a transparent resin film. Is cut into small pieces containing the desired pattern portion, and the metal thin film pattern of the small pieces is pressed directly or via an adhesive layer onto the nail surface to which nail polish has been applied in advance, and then the transparent resin film of the small pieces is applied. Peel off, transfer the metal thin film pattern to the nail surface, and further apply a transparent resin liquid on the transferred metal thin film pattern.

The nail polish applied to the surface of the nail may be a colorless and transparent resin liquid or a resin liquid colored in various colors, including pigment powder and foil powder. May be mixed in, or a fragrance may be contained. In addition,
The transparent resin liquid used after transferring the metal thin film pattern is
What is necessary is just to form the protective layer substantially on the surface of the metal thin film pattern. For example, a resin solution generally used for a nail polish can be used.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on an example shown in the drawings. The transfer sheet of FIG. 1 has a release surface of a release sheet 1 on which a metal thin film pattern 3 provided on a release surface of a transparent resin film 4 is adhered via an adhesive layer 2. Here, the release sheet 1
As the transparent resin film 4, a polyester film coated with a release agent on one side is used, and as the metal thin film for forming the metal thin film pattern 3, a gold foil is used. As the pressure-sensitive adhesive for forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2, a commercially available acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive was diluted and used.

Such a transfer sheet was manufactured by the method shown in FIG. That is, a thermosensitive toner 6 is adhered to a carrier 5 made of paper in a pattern formed by stamping out stars by electrostatic copying, and then, between the adhered surface of the toner 6 and the release surface of the transparent resin film 4. , Sandwiching the metal thin film (a gold foil) 3a,
After heating and pressurizing at 0 ° C., the carrier 5 to which the toner 6 has been adhered is peeled off, and a metal thin film pattern 3 in which the metal thin film 3 a is adhered in the negative shape (star pattern) of the toner 6 is provided on the surface of the transparent resin film 4. An adhesive is applied to the surface of the metal thin film pattern 3 and dried, and the release surface of the release sheet 1 is placed on the adhesive layer 2 and pressed.

Next, the method for makeup of nails according to the present invention includes:
For example, after applying a light pink nail polish on the surface of the nail and drying it, the release sheet 1 / adhesive layer 2 /
A desired design portion (one of the star patterns) of the transfer sheet composed of the laminate of the metal thin film pattern 3 / the transparent film 4 is cut into small pieces, the release sheet 1 of the small pieces is peeled off, and the adhesive layer 2 is formed on the surface.
The metal thin film pattern 3 having the following formula is pressed on the nail surface coated with nail polish in advance, and then the transparent film 4
