A UV nail gel and clear bottle system and method for protecting the ultraviolet (UV) nail gel formulation from curing or gelling while providing visibility of the UV nail gel formula. The system includes one or more layer of a transparent UV blocking treatment located on an exterior surface of the clear bottle comprising one or more UV absorber having an intramolecular hydrogen bond and absorption wavelengths ranging from 100 nanometers to 380 nanometers, paired with a UV nail gel formula comprising a lower curing photoinitiator having an absorption wavelength≤330 nm. The one or more layer of the transparent UV blocking treatment and UV nail gel formula with the lower curing photoinitiator protects the UV nail gel formulation from curing or gelling while providing visibility of the UV nail gel formula.
