Description

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS (IF ANY)[0001]NoneBACKGROUND[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a nail cover that is one piece flexible rubber that has a “squeeze to open” mechanism.[0004]2.

The total drying time can be over 20 minutes, and the person with damp nails must restrict their activities until their nails are completely dry. It is difficult to read, drive, or sleep with wet painted fingernails, and they are very likely to chip or smudge the paint if they partake in any activity.[0007]On the market are foam finger dividers to help manicurists keep the fingernails from touching each other during the manic...
