Thin film coatings on fingernails and toenails are used for aesthetic reasons or to strengthen fragile nails. Coating disintegration is one of the most important characteristics of short-term coatings. The aim of this research was to investigate adhesion test methods for UV-cured urethane acrylate coatings. Coatings was compared evaluating gel fraction and degree of conversion of C=C bonds. Adhesion was measured using pull-off adhesion test and coating removability was evaluated after coating soak-off in solvent media with cross-cut tester. Systems with four different monomers in two concentrations was evaluated. All systems show a strong correlation of adhesion with the time of disintegration.
