  monitor keywords BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to nail polish removal implements, more particularly, a nail polish removal implement kit that permit a person to quickly, easily and completely remove nail polish from a damaged fingernail or toenail without smudging or removing polish on his or her finished fingernails.

The act of giving a manicure or pedicure is truly an art. Great care must be taken during each step, from cleansing the fingernails or toenails, pushing back the nail cuticles, trimming the cuticles, trimming, buffing and filing the nails and, finally, painting the nails and allowing the nails to properly dry. Thus, a significant amount of time must be set aside in order to properly perform all of the steps necessary achieve beautiful fingernails and/or toenails.

Oftentimes, however, accidents occur wherein an already painted fingernail or toenail is either smudged or damaged. Although a person may return to the salon wherein he or she originally received the manicure or pedicure to have a person fix the smudged or damaged nail, it is often inconvenient to do so. In addition, a person must pay in order to have a person at the salon fix the nail. Thus, many individuals choose to fix the smudged or damaged nail himself or herself.

When fixing a smudged or damaged nail, the first step is to remove the nail polish that is already on the nail. A person typically soaks a cotton ball in nail polish remover, holds the soaked cotton ball in his or her fingers and wipes the cotton ball over the nail to be corrected to remove the nail polish. However, if one is fixing his or her own nail, it is oftentimes difficult to remove nail polish from the nail to be fixed without getting nail polish remover on the remaining nails, thereby smudging and removing the nail polish from the non-damaged other nails. Therefore, rather than fixing one nail, a person usually ends up giving or getting himself or herself a new manicure or pedicure.

In addition, it is oftentimes difficult to remove the nail polish entirely as cotton balls, paper towels, napkins, etc. are not rigid enough to remove the nail polish from the cuticle area of the nail. Although the remnants of the old nail polish color are not prominent when painting the nails from a light to dark color, the remnants are particularly noticeable when removing a dark nail polish color, such as red or burgandy, and painting the nails a lighter color.

Thus, a need exists for a nail polish removal implement that permit a person to quickly, easily and completely remove nail polish from a fingernail or toenail without smudging or removing nail polish on his or her fingernails.
