Abstract: A mechanical device for assisting in the application of fingernail polish or enamel, and subsequent drying, makes use of a housing containing an electrically operated fan which moves an air stream upwardly through the housing and out the top. A bracket serving as a hand rest and finger support having a specially constructed attachment to the housing is movable to a position above the air stream where its attachment releasably retains the bracket in finger supporting position and in the air stream. The specially constructed attachment is such that when the bracket is thus positioned an extension of it on opposite sides, protruding beyond the housing, elevates the housing above a supporting surface on which it may rest to assure an abundant supply of air to the fan. When not needed as a hand rest in finger supporting position, the bracket pivots to an endwise location where it can serve as a carrying handle.
