Abstract
A apparatus 10 for painting nails is provided. The nail polishing apparatus includes a substantially "U"-shaped nail abutting portion 12 and an integrally formed substantially "V"-shaped portion 14. Portion 12 includes a slot 18 into which a user can insert a finger 68. Surface 16 of portion 12 effectively covers the skin and/or cuticles 78, 80 surrounding the finger nail 72, thereby preventing unnecessary application of nail polish to these areas. Portion 14 is adapted to pivotally support finger 68 and nail 72 at some distance above a surface 68.
