Abstract

Disclosed is an apparatus for forming aesthetic artificial nails by curing a jelly-like visible light-curable resin applied thinly on the fingernails, including: a casing having disposed therein a power circuit containing an inverter circuit, a light source section connected to the power circuit and irradiates visible light, and a slide table on which the finger tips with the fingernails being coated with the jelly-like resin is rested; wherein the light source section is made into a unit consisting of a plurality of small fluorescent lamps, each of which may have a triggering proximate conductor arranged on the same horizontal plane of a substrate in which a card edge terminal to be connected to a card edge connector in the power circuit is integrated and a transparent protector disposed in front of the fluorescent lamps; the slide table being slidably disposed below the light source section so that it can be drawn out of the casing.
