Abstract: A device is disclosed for removing fingernail polish simultaneously from a plurality of fingernails of a hand. The device includes a base having a first area adapted for simultaneously receiving a plurality of fingers of the hand. A rotatable sponge is coupled to the base such that the plurality of fingernails of the hand are positionable in contact with the rotatable sponge when the plurality of fingers are positioned in the first area. A palm positioned in the base and coupled to the rotatable sponge controllably rotates the sponge. A hand activated switch on the base actuates the motor when the plurality of fingers of the hand are positioned in the first area of the base to thereby rotate the sponge and remove the fingernail polish from the plurality of fingernails.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for applying nail paint is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment a pen-like applicator is provided that comprises a barrel wherein nail paint is contained and a nib that is configured for applying nail paint to a nail. In a preferred embodiment the nib is chisel shaped to allow a user great control and precision around a nail's cuticle and the ability to efficiently apply nail paint to a nail's remaining surface area. The chisel shaped nib may be modified to various shapes, such as bi-concave, plano-concave, or meniscus shapes. Additionally, a nail paint that may be used within the pen-like applicator is disclosed. Preferably, such nail paint is formed by mixing a pigment slurry or past with a latex to form an aqueous nail paint, rather than a traditional solvent-based nail paint. In a preferred embodiment, the nail paint used has a sufficiently low viscosity level to allow the nail paint to effectively flow through the nib, and the nail paint used is preferably non-toxic.
