Disclosed is a polymerizable composition comprising: at least one reactive (meth)acrylate; at least one reactive urethane (meth)acrylate; at least one polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) - polymethacrylic acid (PMAA) copolymer; at least one non-reactive, solvent-dissolvable polymer selected from the group consisting of cellulose esters, polyvinylbutyral resins, tosylamide (toluensulfonamide) formaldehyde resins, and mixtures thereof; and at least one non-reactive solvent selected from the group consisting of ketones, alkyl acetates, alcohols, alkanes, alkenes, and mixtures thereof; wherein upon exposure to actinic radiation, said polymerizable composition cures to an acrylic thermoset having voids defined therein. This composition is suitable for making artificial fingernail and toenail coatings which are removable.
