  • Method of applying nail art to fingernails
    Patent number: 5133369
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of applying nail polish in an artistic manner to a fingernail which includes using a liquid medium that is adapted to support a given amount of nail polish. The nail polish is freely suspended on the surface of the liquid medium, whereby the nail polish is artistically arranged to create and define a desired design configuration. The artistic configuration of the nail polish is readily formed by arranging or rearranging a drop or a plurality of drops of the nail polish while supported on the liquid medium. A suitable implement such as a toothpick or the like is lightly touched to the surface of the nail polish so as to move the suspended nail polish into a configuration that will provide the desired results for the transfer of the nail polish as designed to the surface of a fingernail. These steps are repeated for each of the fingernails.
