Abstract
A fingernail treatment arrangement, especially a nail polish removal arrangement, includes a vessel which is closable by a lid and which includes a circumferential wall and a bottom wall which together bound an internal chamber. A porous body is so held in the internal chamber as to be inwardly spaced from the circumferential wall and to form a gap therewith. The porous body has a central through bore which extends through the porous body all the way to the bottom wall. The bottom wall has a downward slope in the radially outward direction to form a moat into which the porous body dips. The porous body is held in the aforementioned position either by a resilient spring clip which engages the same and braces itself against a neck portion of the vessel, or by ultrasonically or thermally welded formations connecting the porous body to the bottom wall, or in both ways. A treating liquid, especially a nail polish removing liquid, is poured into the internal chamber to flow into the gap and/or into the fingerhole and to permeate the porous body through the top and through the outer and/or inner circumferential surfaces thereof from the gap and/or from the finger hole. Rubbing a fingernail in the finger hole against the liquid-soaked porous body will dissolve and rub off the nail polish from the fingernail.
