A system for applying artwork to fingernails has a computer controller, a hand mold to securely hold the user's fingernails, a device for determining the size and location of the fingernails, and an applicator for applying the artwork. A method for applying artwork to fingernails provides color and/or design choices selected from a computer media catalogue of colors and designs. A user views these choices on a video monitor, which also displays messages to guide the user through the application process. Prior to application of the artwork, the fingernails are coated with a light reactive base coat. The user's hands are inserted into a hand mold in which a height sensor and height gauge aid in positioning the fingernails at a preferred height position. The hand mold is retracted into a main system module in which an optical sensor detects the light reactive base coating for determining the size, peripheral shape, and location of the fingernails. A color applicator in the main system module applies the user selected artwork directly to the user's fingernails. |

A customer's nails are manicured and sculpted while disposed above one of the exhaust vents (20) such that fumes and dust created during the manicuring and sculpting of the customer's nails will be drawn into the exhaust vents (20). The exhaust vents (20) of each of the workstations (14) are connected to a central exhaust duct 26which passes through a central region (24) of the nail sculpting station (12) and through the ceiling (38) above the nail sculpting station (12). The fumes and dust are exhausted exteriorly of the air space within which the nail sculpting technician and the customer are located. The air flow is preferably at a level which will cause as sufficient amount of air to be drawn over the customer's nails when disposed on the ventilation openings of the exhaust vent (20), such that dust and fumes will be drawn through the exhaust vents (20) without disturbing the thickness or consistency of the coating of the nails, and removing the obnoxious fumes.

An acrylic cutter, having a distinct proximal segment used as a handle and a distinct distal segment having a flat top portion and a concave bottom portion. A channel recessed through the mid-section of the top portion of the distal segment produces a thin sharp edge. When said edge is pressed onto the tip of an acrylic fingernail, the impression of a perfect curved line is created on the acrylic nail, thus providing a guideline for creating a flawless french manicure look or similar design using acrylic on the nail. |

A coating material such a TiN, Ti(CN), or (TiAl)N is deposited onto the blade edge region of a steel knife blade blank by a cathodic arc process using linear deposition sources with simultaneous heating and rotation of the blade blank relative to the deposition sources. The blade edge region may be sharpened or unsharpened prior to deposition of the coating material. If the blade edge region is unsharpened prior to deposition, it is thereafter sharpened, preferably on one side only. |
