A photopolymerizable composition for forming a photopolymerized nail top coating of a substantially uniform mixture of ethyl cellulose and crosslinked (meth)acrylate polymer is disclosed. The composition comprises a non-solvent mixture of one or more (meth)acrylate monomers, ethyl cellulose and a combination of two di-(hydroxyethylmethacryloyl) trimethylhexyl dicarbamates, the first having a weight average molecular weight in the range of 13 kDa to 17 kDa and the second in the range of 500 Da to 700 Da. In particular, the (meth)acrylate monomers are hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, isobornyl (meth)acrylate and acrylic acid. |
