Nail file and shine block

Abstract

A device for sculpting the fingernail comprising a block having a front surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface. A layer of first sandpaper is placed on the front surface of the block, and a layer of second sandpaper placed on the first side surface. A layer of third sandpaper is placed on the second side surface. The first, second, and third sandpapers each have a different grit size from the other sandpapers. Also, the first side surface is curved inward to form a concave arch, and the second side surface is curved inward to form a concave arch.

Description

I. INTRODUCTION [0001] This invention relates to a device for fingernails. More particularly, the present invention relates to a device for filing, smoothing, and shining the fingernail of a user.

The sandpapers vary from the being extremely coarse to being extremely fine. The more the coarse sandpaper the lower the grit number, and the more fine the sandpaper the higher the grit number. The sandpapers having a high grit number in the range of over 400 are commonly referred to as a buffer strip and accomplish various functions including smoothing and shining the surfaces of the fingernail.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0005] The present invention is contrived to overcome the conventional disadvantages. Accordingly, to achieve these and other objects, the present invention provides a device for the fingernail which improves filing, smoothing, and shining of the user's fingernail using one object.

Problems solved by technology

There are disadvantages of such combination nail files in that only two different grit size sandpapers can be placed thereon.

Although such combination nail files have multiple sections of sandpaper with different grit sizes, there still is a disadvantage of the combination and other known nail files in that they are usually straight and flat when both the edge and top surface of the fingernail is curved.

It can be difficult to create smooth curved surfaces of the top surface and edges of fingernail using a flat and straight nail file.
