[0025] The present invention, in one exemplary embodiment, is a method of applying crushed healing stones powder for balancing energy of a user. The method includes the steps of providing a healing crystals poly gel, the poly gel is in a gel form and includes crushed healing stones powder, and a clear gel; applying healing crystal poly gel on a natural nail; curing and drying the poly gel in UV light or LED light; filing the excessive poly gel material from the natural nail; and, applying a clear polish on the poly gel, wherein the crushed healing stones powder embedded in the poly gel directly touches the natural nail of the user upon application of the poly gel.

[0026] Referring initially to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of one potential embodiment of the healing crystal nail extension of the present invention in accordance with the disclosed architecture. The healing crystal nail extension 100 of the present invention is designed to enable users to wear, mount, or place artificial nail extensions onto natural nails as a way to heal, protect, and display their unique style. The nail extension 100 is easy to use and can be deployed by both salon technicians and individuals at home. The nail extension 100 in the present embodiment has crushed healing stone crystals 102 embedded therein for providing healing power and includes one or more solid healing stones 104 affixed thereon.

[0027] The nail extension or cover 100 functions like a conventional nail extension or cover to enhance the look of a natural nail but provides additional utility of providing healing, protecting the wearer from negative energies and emotions, and more. The nail cover 100 is lightweight and is more durable and harder to break than conventional nail extensions. The nail cover 100 may come in different sizes, shapes, and colors and may embed any type of healing stone as required by a user. The healing crystals may include one or more of amethyst, citrine, rose quartz, clear quartz, gold, diamond, tiger eye, jasper, fluorite, lapis lazuli, sodalite, malachite, agate, black tourmaline, smoky quartz, aventurine, carnelian, emerald, rainbow aura quartz, calcite, obsidian, blue apatite, chariot, and more.

[0028] It should be noted that in the present embodiment, a healing stone nail cover is disclosed, but the invention encompasses gemstones healing crystal poly gel as well, as described in FIG. 2.

[0029] FIG. 2 illustrates a block diagram showing the components in forming the healing crystals poly gel of one embodiment of the present invention in accordance with the disclosed architecture. The present invention also provides a healing crystal poly or polymeric gel 200 for applying a gemstone as an artificial nail in order to make healing crystals accessible and fashionable. The poly or polymeric gel 200 is applied as an overlay on the natural nail of a user such that the healing crystals provide healing power for emotional and spiritual balance of the user. The poly or polymeric gel 200 includes acrylic powder 202, which is formed by crushing acrylic with a uniform thickness. The acrylic powder 202 is used for providing acrylic strength to the poly or polymeric gel 200 such that poly or polymeric gel 200 remains applied on a natural nail for a considerable amount of time.

[0030] Poly or polymeric gel 200 includes healing crystals 204, which are in crushed form of a healing gemstone. Crystals of any gemstone preferred by a user can be included in the poly or polymeric gel 200 to synergize, for example the zodiac sign of the user to bring balance to an individual's life and mind. For providing a gel texture to the poly or polymeric gel 200, a clear gel 206 is used. The clear gel 206 gives a gel texture to the poly or polymeric gel 200 and allows both the acrylic powder 202 and the healing crystals 204 to uniformly mix and provides a lightweight texture.

[0031] Healing crystals poly or polymeric gel 200 when applied on a nail is more flexible than acrylic and is stronger than hard gel. The poly or polymeric gel 200 is lightweight and has a putty-like consistency. Advantageously, oligomers from clear gel 206 and polymers from acrylic powder 202 mix well with the healing crystals 204.

[0032] FIG. 3 illustrates a flow diagram depicting a process of using the healing crystal poly gel of the present invention in accordance with the disclosed architecture. The poly or polymeric gel 200 can be applied on any natural nail for balancing energies of a user while providing the natural nail with a coating or covering which is more durable and harder to break. For applying the poly or polymeric gel 200, a desired quantity of the healing crystal poly or polymeric gel 200 is taken from a tube such as a toothpaste tube (Step 302). An artificial color can also be provided to the poly or polymeric gel 200 as per desire of users of the product.

[0033] Next, the applied poly gel is cured under an UV light for about 2 minutes or for about 1 minute under an LED lamp (Step 304). For removing any excessive poly gel from the natural nail, filing of the dry poly gel is performed using a conventional nail filer device (Step 306). Finally, for smoothness and a putty-like feel, a clear polish is applied on the poly gel by a user (Step 308). It should be noted that the poly gel of the present invention enables users to wear the nails as a way to heal, protect, and display their unique style and offers a convenient method to make healing crystals accessible and fashionable.

[0034] FIG. 4 illustrates a flow diagram depicting another process of applying crushed healing gemstones on nails of a user in accordance with the disclosed architecture. In the present embodiment, initially, a plurality of crushed gemstones is placed on a natural nail or an artificial press on plastic nail (Step 402). The crystals/gems/embellishments can be of any type and characteristics as per desires of individuals. Thereafter, a clear poly gel that does not include any crushed healing stones is applied on the top of the crushed gemstones (Step 404).

[0035] Thereafter, the nail is kept under a UV lamp for curing and drying the poly gel allowing a direct and stable contact of the gemstone with the nail of the user (Step 406). The nail is then buffed (Step 408). A clear topcoat can be applied to the nail and dried again for two minutes; and finally, if necessary, the artificial nail can be glued to the natural nail for an effective nail enhancement while providing healing power to a user (Step 410). In an alternative method, a nail art brush can be dipped in a monomer or poly gel solution and then dipped in a healing crystal acrylic powder. The solution and acrylic powder can then be applied or brushed onto a natural nail or artificial nail tip. Thereafter, the nail or nail tip can be air dried (or cured under UV light), buffed, and clear coated. It is to be appreciated that the monomer or poly gel solution and the healing crystal acrylic powder can be pre-mixed.

[0036] FIG. 5 illustrates a perspective view of a user wearing acupressure toenail covers of one embodiment of the present invention in accordance with the disclosed architecture. In the present embodiment, the invention offers a plurality of different types of acupressure nail covers configured to heal a user in a non-invasive manner while beautifying the natural nails of a user. As illustrated, a first nail cover 502 is related to crown chakra and improves spiritual connection and transformation. The first nail cover 502 can be from one of amethyst, clear quartz, selenite, lepidolite, howlite, labradorite, sugilite, white agate, fluorite, lapis lazuli, moonstone, charoite, and white calcite. The first nail cover 502 helps to clear blockages from the crown chakra and encourage to reach enlightenment.

[0037] The second nail cover 504 and the third nail cover 506 are related to third eye chakra or sinus chakra. The covers 504, 506 are configured to improve perception, awareness, and spiritual communication. The fourth nail cover 508 and the fifth nail cover 510 are ear chakras and can be made from amethyst, lapis lazuli, and quartzite.

[0038] It should be noted that the nail covers can be designed as chakra stones that activate or amplify the energy of the chakras and are available in different sizes and shapes to meet requirements of different users.

[0039] The poly gel and various nail covers of the present invention can be used to apply full set nails gel manicure, gel pedicures, as well as press-on fingernails, toenails, and nail tips for acrylic application for offering a convenient method to make healing crystals accessible and fashionable. The healing crystal poly gel can be used with any nail cover and can enhance healing powers for a user.
