6. The kit of claim 5 , wherein said stem protrudes into said body portion when said non-screw detachable cover is attached to said upper face.

7. The kit of claim 6 , wherein said at least one nail polish capsule further comprising at least one sealing element mechanically coupled to at least one of: said upper face, a neck section of said body portion and said stem.

8. The kit of claim 6 , wherein said dispensing head is constructed of at least one member of a group consisting of: a plurality of hair strands, an elastic tube, a solid pipe, a sponge, a wiper, a spray head and a combination of at least two thereof.

9. The kit of claim 6 , further comprising a width of said stem is adapted to at least partially contact at least one inner circumferential wall of a neck section of said body portion to form a resting area for laying down said detachable cover integrated with said nail polish applying element in said body portion.

10. The kit of claim 1 , wherein said locking element comprises a breakable adhesive material fastening said detachable cover to said upper face, said breakable adhesive material is breakable by at least one of: turning, bending, pushing and breaking said detachable cover.

11. The kit of claim 1 , wherein said locking element comprises a breakable inner locking element fastening said detachable cover to said upper face, said breakable inner locking element is breakable by bending a neck section of said body portion.

12. A kit for usage by a nail polish application apparatus, said kit comprising:

at least one nail polish capsule comprising:

a body portion defining a reservoir containing a nail polish fluid; and

a non-screw detachable cover having an integrated nail polish applying element, said non-screw detachable cover is mechanically coupled to an upper face of said body portion to seal an opening in said upper face;

a locking element rigid along a longitudinal axis of said at least one nail polish capsule when mechanically and detachably fastening said detachable cover to said body portion and limiting a movement of said non-screw detachable cover with respect to said body portion in said longitudinal axis;

wherein said locking element comprises a member of a group consisting of:

a first magnet mechanically coupled to said body portion and a second magnet mechanically to said non-screw detachable cover, a magnetic field induced between said first magnet and said second magnet fastens said non-screw detachable cover to said body portion,

a breakable adhesive material fastening said detachable cover to said upper face, said breakable adhesive material is breakable by at least one of: turning, bending, pushing and breaking said detachable cover, and

a breakable inner locking element fastening said detachable cover to said upper face, said breakable inner locking element is breakable by bending a neck section of said body portion.

13. A kit for usage by a nail polish application apparatus, said kit comprising:

at least one nail polish capsule comprising:

a body portion defining a reservoir containing a nail polish fluid; and

a non-screw detachable cover having an integrated nail polish applying element, said non-screw detachable cover is mechanically coupled to an upper face of said body portion to seal an opening in said upper face;

a locking element rigid along a longitudinal axis of said at least one nail polish capsule when mechanically and detachably fastening said detachable cover to said body portion and limiting a movement of said non-screw detachable cover with respect to said body portion in said longitudinal axis;
