BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0010] FIG. 1 is a top plan view exemplary embodiment of the apparatus for removing the nail polish, according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0011] FIGS. 2A & 2B is a top plan view of a user hand illustrating the method of using a wearable article to remove the nail polish, according to another embodiment of the present invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] As required, detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention which may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed structure.

[0013] FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the apparatus for removing nail polish and artificial acrylic fingernails designated as 100. The apparatus 100 is in the form of a kit comprises a wearable glove 102, the wearable glove has a cotton member 104, a finger cover 106, a nail polish removing solvent 108 and an adhesive member 110. The wearable glove 102 is fluid impermeable which comprises a plurality of finger covers 106 adapted to receive a user finger. At least two openings 112 are provided on the top side of each of the finger cover 106 configured to receive the cotton member 104 as shown in FIG. 2B. A nail polish removing solvent 108 is sprayed on the cotton member 104 of the finger cover 106 to remove the nail polish from the user's finger and the openings 112 of the finger cover 106 in the fluid impermeable wearable glove 102 are secured via an adhesive member 110. The cotton member 104 is glued around the two openings 112 of the finger cover 106 in the wearable glove 102 and so it is fixed in place to cover the entire user nails. This eliminates the misplacement of cotton member 104 affixed to the user nails.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of FIG. 1, the wearable glove 102 glove is sized such that it encompasses the user's nail. The nail polish removing solvent 108 is selected from acetone or isobutyl nitrite. The material for the wearable article 102 is selected from at least one of a latex, a nitrile and a vinyl compound. In exemplary embodiment the wearable glove 102 can be selected from a latex or a non latex material. The wearable glove 102 is powder free. The openings 112 in the wearable glove 102 are secured to the upper or top side of the finger cover 106. to spread the nail polish removing solvent 108 evenly throughout the user nail. The openings 112 are placed adjacent to each other which makes easier to absorb the gel polish or dipping power. The wearable glove 102 allows the gel polish or powder to be removed in less time.

[0015] According to another embodiment of FIG. 1, the user enjoys the benefit of being able to apply the nail polish removing solvent 108 to the nail without any hassle. The fluid impermeable wearable glove 102 is designed in such a way that the wearable glove 102 fit to all users. The configuration of the wearable glove 102 evenly distributes the nail polish removing solvent 108 to wet the nails. The wearable glove 102 allows the user to participate in other activities such as reading a newspaper, using a tablet or a phone or having a pedicure. In addition, the wearable glove 102 keeps strong fumes from the nail polish removing solvent 108 from polluting the air. The wearable glove 102 allows the user to save time by taking off the gel nail, dipping power, etc. The tightness of the wearable glove 102 allows the nail polish removing solvent 108 to absorb the nail polish faster.

[0016] With reference to FIG. 2A, the fluid impermeable wearable glove 102 for removing nail polish and artificial acrylic fingernails is described. The user simply wears a fluid impermeable wearable glove 102 comprising a plurality of finger covers 106 adapted to receive a user finger, a cotton member 104 affixed inside the wearable glove 102. At least two openings 112 are provided in each of the finger cover 106 configured to receive the cotton member 104. A nail polish removing solvent 108 is sprayed on the cotton member 104 of the finger cover 106 to remove the nail polish from the user's finger. An adhesive member 110 is used to cover the openings 112 of the finger cover 106 in the fluid impermeable wearable glove 102. The adhesive member 110 is this embodiment is an invisible tape.

[0017] According to another embodiment of FIG. 2B, an exemplary method for removing nail polish and artificial acrylic fingernails is described. When the user wears fluid impermeable wearable glove 102 in hand 116, the cotton member 104 is removably attached to the wearable glove 102. The openings 112 in the finger cover 106 of the wearable glove 102 receive the nail polish removing solvent 108 such as acetone or isobutyl nitrite. The cotton member 104 is glued around the openings 112 so that it will not get misplaced during use. The paper glue 114 will secure the cotton member 104 in position and result in quick absorption of the nail polish removing solvent 108 and removes the nail paint or polish in less time.

[0018] The nail polish removing solvent 108 is sprayed or poured onto the top of a finger nail on the finger tip of the user hand 116 through the adjacent openings 112. User's finger is covered with the cotton member 104 and later soaked with nail polish removing solvent 108 to remove the nail polish in quicker time. This procedure is then repeated for the remaining fingers for the removal of nail polish or the artificial acrylic nail. Once the procedure is accomplished, each finger that is having nail polish or the artificial acrylic nail removed is set free to use.
