Abstract: A holder for nail cleaner and more particularly a segment of cotton or cotton ball that is saturated with nail polish cleaning fluid includes an integrally formed upright portion, having a flange surrounding its lower perimeter, the interior of the upright portion being hollow to accept a portion of the cotton, while the flange compresses the saturated cotton against the nail during a cleaning function. The upright portion includes a series of serrations to facilitate gripping of the holder, while the front of the holder is integrally formed with a pointed segment, to provide for cleaning of those tight inaccessible areas between the nail and the cuticle during the performance of a nail manicuring function.
