A fingernail treatment arrangement, especially a nail polish removal arrangement, includes a vessel which is closable by a lid and which includes a circumferential wall and a bottom wall which together bound an internal chamber. A porous body is so held in the internal chamber as to be inwardly spaced from the circumferential wall and to form a gap therewith. The porous body has a central through bore which extends through the porous body all the way to the bottom wall. The bottom wall has a downward slope in the radially outward direction to form a moat into which the porous body dips. The porous body is held in the aforementioned position either by a resilient spring clip which engages the same and braces itself against a neck portion of the vessel, or by ultrasonically or thermally welded formations connecting the porous body to the bottom wall, or in both ways. A treating liquid, especially a nail polish removing liquid, is poured into the internal chamber to flow into the gap and/or into the fingerhole and to permeate the porous body through the top and through the outer and/or inner circumferential surfaces thereof from the gap and/or from the finger hole. Rubbing a fingernail in the finger hole against the liquid-soaked porous body will dissolve and rub off the nail polish from the fingernail. |

An apparatus for removing artificial fingernails and/or fingernail polish includes a receptacle holding a quantity of solvent for dissolving artificial fingernails and/or fingernail polish. The receptacle has an open top through which all the fingers of a user's hand can be inserted simultaneously to immerse the user's fingertips in the solvent. An annular brush is secured inside the receptacle in position to engage the fingernails of fingers inserted through the open top, for scuffing the fingernails to facilitate dissolving and removing fingernail polish and/or artificial fingernails from the fingers of the user. A rotatable finger support and locating device is positioned concentrically with the annular brush to assist in properly supporting and locating the fingers of the user relative to the brush, and a splash shield is positioned around the periphery of the open top to minimize splashing of solvent from the receptacle during use. The user's fingers from which fingernail polish and/or artificial fingernails are to be removed can be inserted into the apparatus and into contact with the brush and then moved back and forth relative to the brush for manual operation of the apparatus, or the apparatus may be motor driven to move the brush in one or both directions of rotation relative to the user's fingers for mechanized operation of the apparatus. |

A finger nail polish removing structure including a container for holding nail polish removing liquid with a base and a lid, and a finger nail scrubbing structure mounted within the container in spaced relation to the container base bottom wall and to the lid top wall, defining a liquid chamber in the base and an upper chamber above the finger nail scrubbing structure. In some embodiments the finger nail scrubbing structure is supported within the container base, and includes five finger bore openings with four bore openings, of substantially equal diameter on a circle within the planar extent of the finger nail scrubbing structure and with the fifth bore opening a thumb tip receiving opening of greater diameter than the other four finger openings and displaced closer to the center of the finger nail scrubbing structure to receive simultaneously the finger nails and nail finger tips to the nail end joints of all five fingers of one hand. The finger bore openings present sponge-like scrubbing material inner walls to remove nail polish from the nails, and the nail polish removing liquid is sloshed between the bottom and the upper chambers to saturate the finger bore opening wall surfaces with cleaning liquid and after use to clean the walls. |
