ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention is that of a newly designed apparatus and method for removing artificial acrylic fingernails. The apparatus is in the form of a kit including ten cotton balls or pads, ten rubber finger covers, two surgical rubber or latex gloves, and a small bottle of acetone.
BACKGROUND ART
Presently, artificial acrylic fingernails must be soaked in acetone to soften adhesive on each nail for removal. Individual nails must be removed for replacement when damaged, and all nails must be removed and replaced periodically. Soaking the finger or fingers in acetone causes two problems. One is fume, which are extremely strong and irritating, and the other is that the person undergoing the procedure is basically immobilized while the soaking processes are occurring.
GENERAL SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF INVENTION
As described herein before, the apparatus is a kit including ten cotton balls or pads, ten rubber finger covers, two surgical rubber or latex gloves, and a small bottle of acetone. In the method of the present invention, the user simply wets a cotton ball or pad with the acetone and places it onto the top of a fingernail. One of the ten finger covers is then put over the finger tip and acetone soaked cotton ball or pad. This procedure is then repeated for the remaining digits requiring removal of an artificial acrylic nail. Once this is accomplished, each hand having an artificial acrylic nail removed is placed into one of the two surgical type rubber or latex gloves.
