PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide curable resin composition for coating a nail or an artificial nail, which is particularly excellent in appearance after application, is excellent in water resistance and abrasion resistance, hardly emits any odor, hardly damages the nail, shows low skin irritation etc., is thus highly safe to the human body and is excellent in shelf stability.SOLUTION: The curable resin composition for coating a nail or an artificial nail includes (A) an aqueous emulsion of a polymer comprising a functional group capable of undergoing a polymerization reaction upon exposure to an active energy radiation, (B) polyethylene glycol and (C) a photo-radical initiator (except for that comprising nitrogen atom within the molecule).COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】とりわけ、塗布後の外観に優れるばかりか、耐水性及び擦過性に優れ、かつ臭気、爪へのダメージ、皮膚刺激性等が少なく、従って、人体への安全性が高いのみならず、保存安定性にも優れた、爪又は人工爪被覆用硬化性樹脂組成物を提供する。【解決手段】本発明は、(A)活性エネルギー線照射により重合反応し得る官能基を含む重合体の水性エマルジョン、(B)ポリエチレングリコール、及び(C)光ラジカル開始剤(但し、分子中に窒素原子を含むものを除く)を含む、爪又は人工爪被覆用硬化性樹脂組成物である。【選択図】なし
