Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an assembly comprising a particular composition, in particular a cosmetic composition, for coating the nails, more particularly intended for making up the nails, combined with a particular packaging and application system of the felt-tip applicator type. It relates to a particular use of such an assembly.
  • nails or false nails are made up and/or cared for using a nail varnish composition applied by means of a brush.
  • compositions in nail varnish form are based on a mixture of organic solvents containing nitrocellulose, an arylsulfonamide- formaldehyde resin or an alkyd resin and a plasticizer. Due to the presence of organic solvents, such varnishes have a certain number of drawbacks associated mainly with the use of solvent and which, especially, very often generate an unpleasant odour during their application.
  • Such water-based varnishes have been used in application devices other than brushes.
  • document FR 2 537 871 describes a water-based low- viscosity nail varnish, which is totally free of pigments, containing dyes such as acidic organic dyes, which may be adapted to application using a device equipped with an application wick.
  • this type of varnish has the drawback of impregnating the nails, making removal of the makeup difficult, which is undesirable.
  • such a makeup may be excessively transparent and may lack coverage.
  • one solution for overcoming these problems is to use high-viscosity compositions that are capable of limiting the sedimentation of dyestuffs, in particular of pigments.
  • certain packaging and application systems such as applicators of the felt-tip type, are then unsuitable for such excessively viscous cosmetic compositions.
  • such compositions intended to change from the reservoir to the applicator felt tip by capillary action cannot cross this felt, or do so with difficulty, then leading to a non- uniform and irregular flow of the applied composition.
  • Document EP 2 109 481 itself discloses a felt-tip applicator and a nail varnish composition with an aqueous continuous phase comprising a particulate phase containing at least two film-forming polymers and a dispersant.
  • the compositions used may give rise to an opacity defect.
  • the present invention is thus directed towards an assembly for packaging and applying a particular cosmetic composition, which resolves at least one of the abovementioned problems.
  • An aim of the present invention is to prepare a composition that can be dispensed through a felt applicator, especially reducing, or even avoiding, the problems of sedimentation, especially the problems of sedimentation of dyestuffs, and in particular of the pigments of the metal oxide(s) type.
  • An aim of the present invention is to prepare a composition that can be dispensed through a felt applicator making it possible to redisperse the dyestuffs, especially pigments, by simple stirring of the said composition.
  • An aim of the present invention is to prepare an assembly equipped with a composition for obtaining a smooth and uniform deposit on the nail.
  • the present invention thus relates to an assembly for coating a nail, in particular a makeup or care assembly, comprising:
  • composition for coating a nail in particular a makeup or care composition, preferably having a viscosity less than or equal to 20 cPs, comprising:
  • a particulate phase comprising:
  • At least one dyestuff chosen from pigments, in particular mineral pigments, especially chosen from metal oxides, at least one polymeric dispersant that is capable of dispersing the particulate phase in the aqueous phase,
  • a packaging and application system comprising an applicator and a
  • composition reservoir in which the said composition is in loose form
  • the applicator being at least partly in direct fluid contact with the composition, without the intermediary of a block for retaining the said composition, the said applicator preferably having a percentage of free volume ranging from 50% to 80%.
  • such a system does not comprise a porous retention block, thus being unable to be impregnated with a composition in accordance with the invention.
  • such a packaging and application system in accordance with the invention comprises a block that is impermeable to the composition, but, possibly, permeable to air, engaged in the said packaging system, at least partly delimiting the composition reservoir.
  • the composition reservoir comprises a bead that can be moved in the said reservoir by shaking the packaging and application system.
  • the present invention thus relates to an assembly for coating a nail, in particular a makeup or care assembly, comprising:
  • composition for coating a nail in particular a makeup or care composition, preferably whose viscosity is less than or equal to 20 cPs, comprising:
  • pigments especially chosen from metal oxides
  • a packaging and application system comprising an applicator and a composition reservoir, the composition reservoir comprising a bead that can move in the said reservoir, which is in particular intended to be moved by shaking the said system, the said system comprising a body inside which is engaged a block that is impermeable to the composition, but which is, preferably, permeable to air, the said block being traversed by a composition dispensing channel which provides a fluid communication between the composition and the applicator.
  • a block thus at least partly defines the said composition reservoir.
  • the said applicator has a percentage of free volume ranging from 50% to 80%.
  • the present invention shows little sedimentation of the particles, with, above all, the possibility of redispersing the sedimented particles, especially redispersion of the pigments of metal oxide type, by simple shaking of the packaging and application system.
  • the present invention allows coating of the nails, in particular making up and/or care of the nails, which is quick, precise and easy, while at the same time obtaining a smooth, regular film of varnish having good coverage. Furthermore, the film obtained has good homogeneity, in particular the colour generated is uniform and the film obtained is uniform, smooth and regular.
