ABSTRACT:
A motorized device for removing nail coatings such as fingernail polish or the like and usable by either a professional manicurist or by an individual caring for her own nails, the invention includes a container controllably rotatable in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, the container receiving a single-use cartridge filled with a flexible foam body saturated with a solvent capable of removing the coating. In the environment of a beauty salon, a client inserts each nail sequentially into a finger-receiving slit in the foam body of the cartridge and the cartridge-bearing container is rotated after each insertion to remove the coating, the cartridge then being discarded so that only one client uses a given cartridge. Sequential reversing of the cartridge-bearing container according to the invention speeds removal of the nail coating especially in cuticle areas from which nail coatings are difficult to remove according to prior methodology.
