Kit for artificial gel nails

Abstract

A kit for artificial gel nails includes a housing, and a gel composition in a first container. There is also curing device having a light source to provide UV light. The light source is mounted in a module or fixture body with a top panel and a bottom panel. When the light source is mounted in the top panel, the light source faces downward towards the bottom panel. A mirrored surface on the bottom panel reflects the light source. The curing device can also have an interactive interface with a visual display and/or a speaker for monitoring and adjusting the light source and speaker content. Embodiments of the kit also include a cleanser composition in a second container and a removal composition in a third container, both removably placed in the housing. A buffing stick and at least one detailing wand may also be placed within the housing.
