A hair styling iron includes a housing, a mandrel extending longitudinally from the housing, the mandrel having a proximal end adjacent to the housing, and a distal end opposite the proximal end, and a plurality of light emitting elements within the mandrel. The plurality of light emitting elements are light emitting diodes that emit light having a wavelength between about 620 to about 750 nm. A cross-sectional area of the mandrel at the proximal end is greater than the cross-sectional area of the mandrel at the distal end.

Nail gel curing devices emitting ultraviolet light, as well as methods of their making and use are disclosed. The devices are useful for curing, inter alia, acrylic compositions, more particularly, acrylic nail gel compositions, and typically employ ultraviolet and/or visible light emitting diodes (“LED”) to cure such ultraviolet and/or visible light curable nail gel resins.

The invention relates to an article comprising a decorative element to be applied to a person's skin or nail, said decorative element comprising: a decoration to be transferred to a person's skin or nail, said decoration comprising a decorative layer; a support film supporting said decoration, said support film being removably attached to a first outer surface of the decorative layer; a layer of inert adhesive which is applied to a second outer surface of the decorative layer and which can be activated by an activator, and an activator comprising a fluid, pasty, semi-pasty, or solid component which can be applied to a person's skin or nails.

A make-up brush system includes an elongated mandrel shaped and dimensioned for handling by a make-up artist including a first end and a second end. The first end includes a gripping surface for engagement with a hand of a make-up artist and the second end being shaped and dimensioned for selective engagement with a plurality of make-up brushes. The make-up brush system also includes a plurality of make-up brushes. Each of the plurality of make-up brushes include a first end and a second end. The first end includes a functional component of the make-up brush and the second end includes a coupling member shaped and dimensioned for selective engagement with the second end of the mandrel. A case both supports and sanitizes the various components of the present invention. The case includes a tray supporting the plurality of make-up brushes in accessible positions within the case.

A system, computer readable medium and method for selective brightening of hair, the method may include or may be preceded by applying at least one photosensitive material to the hair. The method may also include forming at least one pattern of brightened hair by illuminating the hair by at least one pattern of illumination.

A gel polish curing assembly includes a housing that has a top wall, a bottom wall and a perimeter wall extending between the top and bottom walls. The perimeter wall includes a back wall, a first lateral wall and a second lateral wall. A front side of the housing is open. A plurality of light emitters is mounted within the housing. At least some of the light emitters are positioned on a bottom side of the top wall and are directed downwardly toward the bottom wall. The light emitters emits light having a wavelength that is between 340 and 380 nanometers.

A light-curable artificial nail is disclosed having an adhesive section including a light-curable composition in a semi-cured state. The light-curable composition is configured to transition from the semi-cured state to a cured state based on exposure to at least one wavelength of electromagnetic radiation. The light-curable artificial nail includes a strengthening section disposed above the adhesive section and a polish section disposed above the adhesive section.

Apparatuses and methods for automatically applying and solidifying nail polish on nails of a user comprising operating one or more nail polish applying elements configured to crudely apply nail polish on one or more nail surfaces of one or more fingers identified in a treatment space based on analysis of sensory data captured by one or more imaging sensors configured to capture sensory data depicting the treatment space, operating one or more solidifying energy source(s) to solidify the nail polish applied on the nail surface(s) and operating one or more nail polish removal elements to accurately remove nail polish residues applied on skin of the finger(s) surrounding at least partially a boundary of the nail surface(s) while avoiding removing the nail polish applied within the boundary.

An example skincare device includes a main body having a first side, a second side, an intermediate portion, a groove, a light source, a motor, a temperature control unit, and a user control configured to control one or more of the light source, motor, and temperature control unit. The skincare device can provide heat, cool, light, and/or vibrational therapy to a user's skin.

Modulation techniques designed to prolong battery life in a battery-powered hair dryer that utilizes infrared technology as part of the heating element. Modulation techniques can be used to extend battery run time without significant degradation and optimize end-of-life performance.
