A nail care tool having an ergonomic elongated handle, an operational head, and a male/female system or mechanism suitable to connect or disconnect the elongated handle and the operational head is presented. The tool also has a removable scraper or end tip inserted in one of the ends of the handle, useful in cleaning critical cuticle areas. The operational head may have different shapes and its external surface has different operational lining materials commonly used in the nail care and maintenance processes. In some embodiments, the lining material on the operational head is an absorbent material, while in other embodiments, it is an abrasive material. By connecting the ergonomic handle to the operational removable head having the absorbent material, the tool is suitable to be used as a nail polish remover applicator, meaning being able to remove nail polishes. On the other hand, by engaging the ergonomic handle to the operational removable head having an abrasive material as a lining material, the tool is conveniently used as a nail buffing tool.

An insect repellent collar for a pet includes an encapsulated insect repellent adjacent to an absorbent material, which is itself adjacent to a skin/fur barrier/odor impervious material, and where at least about 0.5 ml of insect repellent is encapsulated in a frangible enclosure that when fractured, releases a fresh supply of repellent onto the absorbent material for the passive evaporation of the repellent.

A nail clip includes a base, a top, and a spring element. The base defines a bed, a first finger grip coupled to the bed, opposing slotted posts coupled to the base and extending therefrom where the bed meets the first finger grip, and a ramp disposed in the bed. The top defines a cap, a second finger grip coupled to the cap, and opposing support posts coupled to the cap and extending therefrom where the cap meets the second finger grip. Each support post includes a hinge pin extending therefrom for engagement with one of the base's slotted posts. The spring element is disposed between the base and the cap for biasing the first finger grip away from the second finger grip.

A composition for removing nail polish from a surface, said composition comprising: (i) a solvent, said nail polish being at least partially soluble in said solvent; and (ii) a gelling agent, wherein the gelling agent forms a gel matrix, said solvent being included within said gel matrix.

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 nail polish remover device is disclosed which has a composition of a base and a plasticizer polymerized into a pad for application to a fingernail having nail polish. A further nail polish remover device is disclosed which has a composition of a base, a plasticizer, and a skin protecting reagent polymerized into a pad for application to a fingernail having nail polish. A method of removing nail polish from a nail is also disclosed which the methods has the steps of providing providing a composition of a base and a plasticizer polymerized into a pad, applying the pad to a nail having nail polish thereon, and removing the pad and the nail polish.

A device for removing nail-enhancement product from nail beds from a finger or toe having a semi-rigid body, an absorbent pad, and a flexible cover. The semi-rigid body having an adjustable proximal end, a distal end, an external portion, an internal portion, an aperture, and a retaining member. The absorbent pad is positioned in the internal portion of the semi-rigid body between the retaining member and the distal end of the semi-rigid body. The flexible cover is adapted to surround the semi-rigid body with the absorbent pad. The absorbent pad is placed on top of the nail bed. The absorbent pad is wetted with removing solution, such as acetone, to loosen nail-enhancement product from nail bed. Excess removing solution is collected in a reservoir tip. The nail-enhancement product and associated residues adhere to the absorbent pad and remain contained inside the device.
