A system, device and method for nail care is provided. The nail care system includes a shaping system, a polish removal system and/or a cuticle management system; a vision system; a nail polish application system; and a mobility system. The nail system may further include an accelerated drying system, a hand massage system, a nail identification/diagnosis/estimation of conditions system, an enclosure, a hand/foot rest system, a computer software system, a computer hardware system, a cartridge/pod system, and a multi-tool system. Related apparatuses, techniques and articles are also described.

An automatic nail polish removing device comprises a structure adapted to be coupled with a removable capsule containing sufficient nail polish removing material for facilitating a polish removing operation, one or more receiving chambers into each of which a polished nail is introducible, an extraction unit for extracting the nail polish removing material from the capsule, when coupled with the structure, and a directing unit for directing the extracted material to an interior of each of the chambers. In a method, the extraction unit is automatically activated to initiate a polish removing operation.

A separable nail polish container having base with a paint material housed therein, a base cover selectively and removably coupled to the base portion, and an applicator brush selectively and removably coupled to the base cover. The base defines an upper opening of a diameter sufficient to allow refilling of a paint material, i.e., a more viscous gel or paint material, wherein the base cover can be removed to expose the upper opening. The applicator brush is insertable and removably within the base cover and includes a plurality of bristles spanning toward a bottom wall of the base.

A stereolithographic object includes a first curable resin part that is provided at a position suitable for contact with a base member and one or a plurality of second curable resin parts that are provided to be in contact with the first curable resin part and to allow part of a side surface of the first curable resin part to be exposed. The first curable resin part includes resin that has a functional group number and a polymer polymerization degree that are relatively small compared with those of the second curable resin part. The one or the plurality of second curable resin parts includes resin that has a functional group number and a polymer polymerization degree that are relatively great compared with those of the first curable resin part.

A self-contained device for removing nail enhancement product from nail beds having a flexible body, a closed-end portion, and an open-end portion. The closed-end portion having a reservoir portion located at a proximal end of the flexible body. The open-end portion having an extendable fitted ring-like portion located at a distal end of the flexible body securing the device to finger or toe. The self-contained device further having an absorbent pad. The absorbent pad is wetted with removing solution, such as acetone. The self-contained device and absorbent pad are placed on top of the nail bed to loosened and eventually remove nail enhancement product, such as acrylic or gel, from nail bed. The self-contained device further having at least one fitted ring to further secure the device to finger or toe.

A method for removing an artificial fingernail from an underlying natural fingernail to which it is attached by an adhesive has the steps of: (a) soaking the fingertips in warm, soapy water; (b) providing a prying tool comprising a thin, smooth sheet of semi-rigid material; (c) inserting the prying tool between the artificial and the underlying natural fingernails; (d) lifting the artificial fingernail away from the underlying natural fingernail; and (e) manually removing the artificial fingernail from the fingertip.

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.

The current invention enhances the disposable face or facings on any commonly used adhesive bandage into a usable nail file and callus remover along with preserving its original function of protecting the adhesive layer on the bandage. The current invention eliminates the need to use a separate manicure tool, nail file, or callus remover when the shaping and exfoliating tools are contained on the disposable face or facings of the adhesive bandage. This efficiently allows the user to maximize the utilization and function of not only the adhesive bandage but also the disposable face or facings. Because the disposable facings may be altered at minimal cost to include the abrasive surface, the apparatus is a significant improvement over the current products on the market.

A refillable absorbent swab applicator pen has a pen shell, a plurality of absorbent swab cartridges, and a cartridge advancement mechanism. The plurality of absorbent swab cartridges are positioned within the pen shell, and the cartridge advancement mechanism is integrated into the pen shell in order to advance the absorbent swab cartridges toward a dispensing end in order to expose a swab for use or discard a swab after use.

A nail gel removal method includes the steps of (a) absorbing warm water, which is water having a temperature higher than the room temperature, with the nail gel coated on the nail a user by soaking one or more nails in the warm water for three minutes or more; (b) softening the nail gel on the nail of the user until it is removable from the nail of the user; and (c) removing the softened nail gel from the nail of the user.
