Definitions

  • This invention relates to a nail polish bottle cap which includes at least one integral ultra-violet (UV) light emitting diode (LED) light which is suitable for illuminating a human fingernail or toenail which has been freshly coated with gel nail polish for the purpose of curing the gel nail polish.
  • UV ultra-violet
  • LED light emitting diode
  • Gel nail polish is known for its durability. Typically, because the process for applying and curing of gel polish is relatively technical, most gel nail polish is applied and cured by professionals in nail salons. As is the case with conventional nail polish, gel nail polish is typically brushed on as a thick, viscous liquid. However, unlike conventional nail polish, gel polish will not cure merely because it is exposed to air. To cure, gel polish must be exposed to ultra-violet (UV) light. Because UV light occurs naturally in sunlight, the inside surfaces of a gel nail polish bottle are usually coated with a light blocking black coating in order to prevent the gel polish within the bottle from slowly curing.
  • UV ultra-violet
  • gel polish is applied to a fingernail or toenail
  • the customer typically places the fingernail or toenail under an UV light emitting gel curing lamp for a pre-determined period of time in order to cure the gel polish. Once cured, gel polish provides a durable attractive, decorative coating.
  • Gel curing lamps are typically arranged for table-top use and are usually about as large as a shoe box. Gel curing lamps usually cost hundreds of US dollars and are usually purchased and used by professional nail salon operators.
  • the times and places in which gel polish can be applied and cured is generally limited to the times and places when and where gel curing lamps are available. Accordingly, a need exists for an extremely compact and inexpensive gel curing device that may be used by individuals to cure gel polish when a gel curing lamp is not available.
  • a nail polish bottle cap which includes a first portion and a second portion.
  • the first portion is arranged to screw on to the top of a nail polish bottle and carries a brush suitable for applying nail polish.
  • the second portion of the bottle cap presents a UV LED light which is suitable for illuminating a fingernail or a toenail which has been freshly coated with gel nail polish for the purpose of curing the gel nail polish.
  • the second portion of the bottle cap also includes a battery and a switched circuit which includes the battery and the UV LED light. The circuit is able to be switched between an open state wherein the UV LED light is not activated and a closed state wherein the UV LED light is activated.
  • a user may apply gel polish from the bottle to a fingernail or toenail and then activate the UV LED light of the second portion, position the UV LED light to illuminate the surface of the nail which has been coated with fresh uncured gel polish in order to cure the gel nail polish.
