ABSTRACT:
A fingernail shield includes a tube having a diameter larger than that of a typical human finger and an adhesive within the tube for securing the tube to a finger. The fingernail shield preferably has an octagonal cross-section and is tapered to form a frustum shape. The tube may have a notch at one end for locating the adhesive, and is preferably made of a transparent, colored plastic. A method of protecting drying polish on the nail of a finger using this shield, includes the steps of placing the shield around a finger over the nail, orienting the shield so that the adhesive is adjacent to the side of the finger opposite the nail, pressing the side of the finger opposite the nail against the adhesive to secure the shield to the finger, leaving the shield secured to the finger until the polish hardens, and pulling the finger out of the adhesive and withdrawing it from the shield.
