Nail-polish-removing thimble
A disposable nail polish-removing thimble capable of quickly dissolving and removing the enamel coating from the surface of a fingernail or toenail, the thimble having a sufficient capacity to remove the polish from a full set of an individual's nails. The thimble is constituted by a miniature plastic cup having a peel-off cover, the cup housing a flexible foam plastic sponge saturated with an enamel solvent. The sponge has a center slit therein into which one may insert a finger or toe, the thimble then being rotated relative to the inserted member to remove the nail polish.
