 with key operated machines, such as typewriters, much frustration was caused by such slender fingernails breaking through contact with the keys of these typewriters or the like.
In view of this aforementioned problem, various artificial materials were developed so that the artificial nail could be applied over the top of the natural fingernail and thereafter be buffed and filed to the desired configuration.
Not only has the advent of artificial fingernails to a large extent overcome the problem of broken nails, but more particularly a person could instantly have such artificial fingernails applied by a cosmetologist without the need for growing the natural fingernails to the required dimensions.
Usually when such artificial nail tips are applied to the person's fingernail it is necessary that the cosmetologist first of all prepare the person's natural fingernail by cleaning it and by making a straight cut through the tip of the natural fingernail transverse to the length of the fingernail. A nail tip is then selected to match the size of the natural fingernail to which the nail tip is to be applied. Next a small amount of glue, such as a cyanoacrylate glue, is applied to the area of the natural fingernail which is to be overlapped by the nail tip. The nail tip is then placed onto the natural nail and held in place for a few seconds until the glue bonds. A space is left between the artificial nail tip and the cuticle to aid in blending the artificial nail surface to the natural nail surface. The artificial nail tip is then filed to blend in with the person's fingernail. The person's fingernail and artificial nail tip are then coated with a fingernail polish.
In recent practice however, the artificial nail tip is not filed to blend in with the person's natural fingernail. Instead the artificial tip is first bonded to the natural fingernail by the method described above, then an ultravoilet sensitive (curable) bonding material is then applied to both the artificial tip and natural fingernail. The now coated nails are bathed in ultravoilet light initiating polymerization (photoinitiation). That is, the entire nail surface is coated from the cuticle forward as shown in FIG. 12. Prior art apparatus includes lamps and lamp enclosures which provide a source of ultraviolet light for accomplishing the curing process. These apparatus require the holding of the hands at different positions without benefit of total support in order to cure the bonding material. In these prior art apparatus problems have been

 normally when such artificial nail tips are applied to the person's fingernail it is necessary that the cosmetologist first of all prepare the person's lifelike fingernail by cleaning it and by making a straight cut through the tip of the natural fingernail transverse to the length of the fingernail. A nail tip is then selected to match the size of the natural fingernail to which the nail tip is to be applied. Next a small amount of glue, such as a cyanoacrylate glue, is applied to the area of the lifelike fingernail which is to be overlap by the nail tip. The nail peak is then placed onto the natural nail and held in place for a few second until the glue bonds. A space is left between the artificial nail tip and the epidermis to aid in blending the artificial nail surface to the natural nail surface. The artificial nail tip is then file to blend in with the person's fingernail. The person's fingernail and artificial nail tip are then coated with a fingernail polish. 
 In recent practice however, the artificial nail tip is not filed to blend in with the person's lifelike fingernail. alternatively the artificial tip is first bonded to the natural fingernail by the method acting described above, then an ultravoilet sensitive (curable) bonding material is then applied to both the artificial tip and natural fingernail.
