from about 3% to 4% by weight by weight hydroxyethyl methacrylate based on the weight of the radiation curable gel nail coating composition;

from about 3% to 4% by weight hydroxypropyl methacrylate based on the weight of the radiation curable gel nail coating composition;

from about 0.1% to about 0.4% by weight of a photoinitiator based on the weight of the radiation curable gel nail coating composition; and

a nail art paint.

2. A radiation curable gel nail coating composition, comprising:

from about 40% to 58% by weight of di-[hydroxyethyl methacrylic] trimethylhexyl dicarbamate based on the weight of the radiation curable gel nail coating composition;

from about 3% to 4% by weight of a methacrylic acid ester based on the weight of the radiation curable gel nail coating composition;

from about 2% to 4% by weight hydroxyethyl methacrylate based on the weight of the radiation curable gel nail coating composition;

from about 2% to 4% by weight hydroxypropyl methacrylate based on the weight of the radiation curable gel nail coating composition;

from about 0.1% to about 1% by weight of a photoinitiator based on the weight of the

radiation curable gel nail coating composition; and

from about 25 to about 40% by weight of a nail art paint based on the weight of the radiation curable gel nail coating composition.

3. A radiation curable gel nail coating composition according to claim 2, wherein the nail art paint comprises:

from about 3% to 6% by weight of a film former based on the weight of the radiation curable gel nail coating composition;

up to about 0.4% by weight trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate based on the weight of the radiation curable gel nail coating composition;

from about 20% to about 38% by weight of a solvent selected from a ketone, ester, alcohol or mixture thereof based on the weight of the radiation curable gel nail coating composition;

from about 1% to about 2% by weight of a plasticizer based on the weight of the radiation curable gel nail coating composition; and

up to about 2% by weight of pigment based on the weight of the radiation curable gel nail coating composition.

4. A radiation curable gel nail coating composition according to claim 3, wherein the photoinitiator is hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone.

5. A radiation curable gel nail coating composition according to claim 4, wherein the film former is selected from nitrocellulose and dimethicone, or a mixture thereof.

6. A radiation curable gel nail coating composition according to claim 5, wherein the solvent is selected from isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, diacetone alcohol, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, amyl acetate, acetone, or a mixture thereof.
