Abstract: A pressed sanitary tissue receptacle and dispenser comprised of a main body which defines nested inner and outer housing walls. The outer housing wall houses a quantity of liquid which is adapted to initially be isolated from a volume defined by the inner housing wall which houses the dry tissue. In one embodiment, the inner and outer housing walls are covered on their lower ends by a lower cover, and the upper ends of the inner and outer housing walls are covered on their upper ends by an upper cover. The upper cover may be a foil sheet. The liquid is permitted to enter the volume defined by the inner housing wall and become absorbed by the tissue upon the exertion of force on the upper cover, which causes the tissue to press against and deflect the lower cover in such a manner as to cause the lower cover to dislodge from sealing engagement with the inner cylinder.

Abstract: An apparatus, kit and method for applying a French manicure to a user's own nails or those of a customer using a simple finger guide which permits the positioning of a finger relative to a reservoir of acrylic nail polish powder. In one form, the apparatus is comprised of a finger guide which can be removably associated with an acrylic nail polish powder-containing vessel. Alternative embodiments include those with a finger guide being integrally formed with the vessel/jar. A method for applying a French manicure using the apparatus of the invention is also contemplated. The kit includes a supply of one or more acrylic nail polish powders, a finger guide, and the necessary materials to cause the acrylic nail polish powder to be converted to a solid nail polish coating.
