Liquid composition used for dissolving fingernail polishes

The present invention relates to nail polish removers and specifically to novel liquid compositions which dissolve fingernail polishes and which are constituted by three or two liquid phases, not miscible, which are superimposed one over the other when the compositions remain still. This invention can be formulated as a "Bi-Phase" or "Tri-Phase" remover. The Bi-Phase contains two separate layers: a solvent phase top layer and an aqueous phase bottom layer. The Tri-phase contains an oil phase top layer, a solvent phase middle layer and an aqueous phase bottom layer. The present invention is designed for the purpose of conditioning and protecting nails and cuticles while removing the nail enamels simultaneously. A liquid composition used for dissolving fingernail polishes contains three non-miscible liquid phases which, when the composition is left still, are superimposed one on the other. The upper phase is oily. The intermediate phase is the solvent phase and contains solvents immiscible with water. In addition to a tri-phase composition also a bi-phase composition is described. The solvents are a mixture of methyl acetate and tert-butyl acetate.
