Abstract: A nail lamp for curing UV-curable nail gel uses light emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit ultraviolet light and are relatively lower power. The nail lamp is powered from an exterior power source, such as a wall socket, or by a rechargeable battery pack. A battery compartment of the nail lamp holds the battery pack, which is removable without disassembling the nail lamp. The nail lamp is easily transportable to different locations and can be used even when a wall socket is unavailable. A curing time of the nail lamp is user-selectable. The nail lamp can also include detection sensors to detect a person's hand or foot in a treatment chamber and automatically turn on or off the LEDs.

Abstract: A composition for a thinning agent to reduce the viscosity of a traditional gel or gel polish includes at least one monomer and a photoinitiator. The thinner can reduce the viscosity of a gel polish that has thickened, and allow for easy application of the gel to the nails. Aspects of the thinner can cause a ultra-violet curable gel or gel polish, using a ultra-violet light, to cure using a ultra-violet light emitting diode light source, when the thinner is added to the gel. The thinner is versatile and can be added to any gel polish or traditional gel to extend the life of the gel.
Abstract: A compact portable LED nail curing lamp has surface-mounted light emitting diode (SMD LED) lights. The lamp provides fast and consistent results producing high gloss finish and even curing of nail polish (e.g., UV-curable gel polish). The nail lamp has a micro USB port, which can be used to power the lamp using a wall adapter, car charger, laptop USB port, or mobile power bank for ultimate portability. In an implementation, a system includes a compact LED nail curing lamp and a mobile power battery pack. The system also includes a cable to connect the nail lamp and the mobile power battery pack. The battery pack provides portable power to the nail lamp so that the nail lamp can be used portably, such as during travel or on an airplane when a wall outlet is unavailable.
