A nail care tool having an ergonomic elongated
handle and a removable operational head attached to the
handle is presented. The tool also has a removable scraper or end tip inserted in one of the ends of the
handle, useful in cleaning critical
cuticle areas. The operational head has adhered to it a lining of material commonly used in the nail care and maintenance processes; for instance, it may be a
nail polish removal material or a nail buffing material. In some embodiments of the invention, the ergonomic handle and the head are interconnected in a nonpermanent manner by a male / female
system; in such embodiments, the head may be engage or connected to the handle by screwing the head to the handle and, it may be disengaged or disconnected, by simply unscrewing it from the handle. In other embodiments of the invention, the handle is connected to the head by a hold / release
system, allowing the User to connect the head and the handle by inserting an already assembled
cartridge inside the handle into a rectangular
internal cavity on the head. In order to disconnect the head from the handle, the User slides backwardly a button on the ergonomic handle without even having to touch the head. The hold / release
system allows the User to easily attach or detach heads to the handle. The operational removable head required for any of the embodiments may have different shapes and operational lining materials, in order for the User to use the tool as an applicator—meaning being able to remove most of the nail polishes—or as a nail buffer.
