Abstract: This invention concerns a nail polish brush so constructed as to provide more even and exact stroking, especially onto the top of the fingernail, where the cuticle is rounded. The hairs on the perimeter of the brush are shortest in length, the next circle of hairs lying inside the outer circle of hairs are slightly longer, each successive circle of hairs increasing in length this way, and the last round of hairs in the center of the brush are the longest. The entire effect is one of very slight, gradual rounding, corresponding more exactly to the human cuticle.
