A nail polish application apparatus, comprising a mounting element comprising a capsule compartment adapted to receive one or more capsules containing a nail polish fluid wherein the mounting element is moveable by actuator(s) in longitudinal axis crossing a nail polish applying space and in lateral axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and is rotatable by the actuator(s) around the longitudinal axis, a pressure applying element adapted to apply pressure on a body portion of the capsule(s) installed in the capsule compartment wherein the body portion defines a reservoir containing a nail polish fluid, the pressure builds an internal pressure in the reservoir forcing extrusion of the nail polish fluid to a nail polish applying element integrated with the capsule(s), sensor(s) adapted to generate sensory data depicting the nail polish applying space and a control unit adapted to operate the actuator(s) and the pressure according to analysis of the sensory data.

A kit for usage by a nail polish application apparatus, the kit comprising one or more nail polish capsules. Each of the nail polish capsule(s) comprises a body portion defining a reservoir containing a nail polish fluid and a non-screw detachable cover having an integrated nail polish applying element. The non-screw detachable cover is mechanically coupled to an upper face of the body portion to seal an opening in the upper face.

Disclosed is a printing device including: a print head; a finger holder that includes a nail rest on which a nail is placed, and a spring which biases the nail rest in a direction of pushing up the nail rest to locate a printing target surface of the nail placed on the nail rest at a printing position by the print head; and a spacer that presses down the nail rest against a biasing force of the spring.

A device for applying or removing nail polish or nail art has a replaceable cartridge with a distal end removably coupleable to a proximal end of a handle. The cartridge has a reservoir that contains a liquid, such as nail polish or nail polish remover and a flow control member (e.g., valve) actuatable to allow flow of the liquid out of the distal end of the cartridge. The handle has a flow path therethrough that extends between its proximal end to an applicator implement (e.g., brush, sponge) attached to its distal end, the flow path in fluid communication with the flow control member when the cartridge is coupled to the handle. Selective actuation of the flow control member by the user (e.g., by squeezing the cartridge) allows fluid to flow out the reservoir and through the flow path in the handle to the applicator implement for application of the fluid by the user to a finger or toe nail.

A present giving method performed by a processor includes the following. That is, selecting a print design that is given to a second user who is a receiver of the print design as a present according to operation by a first user who is a giver of the print design; and setting a hiding flag in design information of the print design according to the operation by the first user, wherein when the hiding flag is set, the selected print design is not displayed on a display in a state that the print design is visible when printing is performed on a print target included in the second user.

Process for making up an area of human keratin materials (P) using a makeup device having a transfer surface and a coat of at least one cosmetic colouring ink (4) borne by the transfer surface and obtained by printing using at least one digital printer, the colouring ink being intended to be applied to the keratin materials (P), the process comprising the following steps: —transferring at least part of the coat of cosmetic ink (4) onto the area (P) to be made up by placing the coat of ink (4) in contact with the area (P) to be made up, and then —forming a protective coating (8) by applying at least one composition comprising a film-forming polymer onto the area (P) of keratin materials to be made up.

A nail polish application apparatus, comprising a mounting element comprising a capsule compartment adapted to receive one or more capsules containing a nail polish fluid wherein the mounting element is moveable by actuator(s) in longitudinal axis crossing a nail polish applying space and in lateral axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and is rotatable by the actuator(s) around the longitudinal axis, a pressure applying element adapted to apply pressure on a body portion of the capsule(s) installed in the capsule compartment wherein the body portion defines a reservoir containing a nail polish fluid, the pressure builds an internal pressure in the reservoir forcing extrusion of the nail polish fluid to a nail polish applying element integrated with the capsule(s), sensor(s) adapted to generate sensory data depicting the nail polish applying space and a control unit adapted to operate the actuator(s) and the pressure according to analysis of the sensory data.

A device for picking up and applying a cosmetic composition, in particular makeup, having a flexible support defining an, in particular continuous, application surface intended to receive the cosmetic composition, and at least two elements that are movable with respect to one another and are connected to the support, such that a relative movement of these two elements brings about a mechanical stress on the support and causes the latter to deform between a configuration for picking up cosmetic composition and an application configuration.

A printer includes head that performs printing by ejecting ink at a position of ejection of the ink in a print coordinate system, camera that captures an image of an area where the ink is ejected and outputs the image in an image coordinate system, camera capturing an image of calibration pattern printed by ejecting the ink at a calibration ejection position and outputting the image including calibration pattern, the calibration ejection position being a position at which calibration pattern is printed by ejecting the ink, and calculator that calculates the amount of displacement between the position of calibration pattern in the image coordinate system and the calibration ejection position in the print coordinate system.

A nail printer is a nail printer for printing on a nail of a finger. The nail printer includes a housing and a printer component. The housing includes a front face and a back face. The housing has an opening on the front face for inserting the finger in a specific direction and a pair of slanted wall portions that are disposed on both sides of the opening. The slanted wall portions are inclined downward with respect to the specific direction from the front face to the back face. The printer component is disposed inside the housing. The printer component performs printing on the nail of the finger disposed inside the housing through the opening.
