Abstract
A method of bonding an artificial nail to a nail with a photocurable cyanoacrylate adhesive or of decorating an artificial nail or a nail using the adhesive. The adhesive comprises (A) an cyanoacrylate monomer, (B) a catalyst selected from the group consisting of a metallocene compound comprising a transition metal of Group VIII of the periodic table and aromatic electron system ligands, and a mixed catalyst consisting of a combination of a cleavage-type photoinitiator and a metallocene compound comprising a transition metal of Group VIII of the periodic table and aromatic electron system ligands, an acetylacetonatoplatinum(II) complex, and a specific metal complex which releases a nucleophilic agent upon light irradiation. The curability of the adhesive of the present invention in the bonding of an artificial nail to a nail or in the bonding of a decorative article to a nail or artificial nail is improved in the case where the adhesive has flowed out of the bonding part or has been applied thickly so as to fill (build up) the recessed part of the joint, etc.
