The device further includes a slide having a plurality of slide members which are slidable through the respective magazine bodies for engaging the rear edge of the uppermost fingernail in each of the magazine assemblies and advancing the fingernail outwardly through an exit opening in the body of each of the magazine assemblies. The exit openings are disposed on the upper work surface of the work platform. Furthermore, each of the exit openings includes a dependent holder for releasably holding the advanced artificial fingernail with the upper surface of the advanced fingernails exposed for decoration. More specifically, the holder comprises a channel with a bottom wall for supporting the fingernail and side walls for frictionally capturing the side edges of the fingernail. The work surface further includes ornamental surface features in the form of two hands laid palm down on the work platform. The holders are disposed at the ends of the fingers of the hands so that the advanced fingernails are exposed for decoration in the normal fingernail position on each of the fingers.
