Abstract:
The present invention is a hand-held nail polish removal tool for use in removing nail polish. The tool comprises a hollow base portion for receiving and containing nail polish remover. A cap portion is secured to the hollow base portion with the nail polish remover receivable into the cap portion from the hollow base portion. At least one rest member is secured to either or both the hollow base portion and/or the cap portion. A porous applicator material is removably secured to the cap portion with the nail polish remover receivable into the porous material from the cap portion and substantially retainable within the porous material such that contacting pressure of the porous material with a fingernail or the like releases at least a partial amount of the nail polish remover from the porous material onto the fingernail or the like. The rest member maintains a fluid level of the nail polish remover at a position below the porous applicator material when the removal tool is positioned upon a substantially level horizontal surface.
