Abstract: A nail-cleaning tool has a rod, a removing end, a scraping end and a sheath. The scraping end is spatula-shaped. The sheath is an absorbent material mounted over the removing end. Therefore, users can use the removing end to absorb nail polish remover then clean a surface of the nail during removal and application. The users can further use the scraping end to scrap an edge of each nail adjacent to skin. Therefore, the nail can be cleaned thoroughly while minimizing waste and reducing direct skin contact with the nail polish remover.

The second brush component has a brush at one end and a scraper, with a cleaner/applicator attached to the scraper or a second brush, at the other end. The second brush component may be of a single-piece, or of a separable two-piece, construction.

Abstract: A multi-function cosmetic device having a first and a second component, each removable from one another wherein the second component has a first section and a second section each of which are removable from one another. The front of the first component and the fronts of the first and second sections are working components, such as, but are not limited to, fingernail brushes, fingernail scrapers/cleaners, fingernail design tips, and make-up brushes. Additional independent stackable components, each having a similar working component at their respective front ends, are removably stackable onto the fronts of either first component or the fronts of the first and second sections of the second component and are removably stackable onto each other.

Abstract: A manicuring appliance comprising a hand held center section with proximal and distal end sections each of which may be detachable from the center section. Each end section may have a lip shaped to bear against the base of the cuticle. The distal end section comprises a pusher for shaping the cuticle and prepare it for cutting by the proximal end section. The proximal end section includes a cutting blade positioned to properly cut or trim the cuticle along an arc which follows the arc of the cuticle base as the user moves the appliance along the cuticle. Various alternative embodiments of the proximal cutting section are disclosed.

Abstract: A toenail clipper extension device is provided with nail clippers attached to an elongated main extension that enables the user to perform the clipping task from a number of positions, included the upright seated position. A pistol grip handle is on the near end of the device, with a trigger, cord and dual rollers on the extension that cause the nail clipper lever to be pulled when the trigger is pulled. The user is assisted by a mirror and mirror extension arm assembly that provides 360 degree rotational and pivotal positioning of the mirror. Double ball joints are provided in this regard at the joinder of the mirror to the mirror extension arm, and the joinder of the mirror extension arm to the device main extension. The roller closest to the nail clipper assembly is specially sized and positioned within a compartmental enlargement of the main extension, such that the cord approaches the nail clipper lever at an acute angle in the static position.

Abstract: A writing instrument where an abrasive strip or strips is provided formed substantially along the length of the main body of the writing instrument. There may be a single strip of abrasive material or a plurality of strips of abrasive material, preferably wherein each of the strips has a differing degree of abrasiveness. The external surface may be a variety of configurations, however, one is a square configuration wherein the differing abrasive surfaces are located along opposite faces of the square. A further writing instrument has a slotted external surface where the abrasive strip may be slid into the slotted section and secured in the operative position.
