Abstract
A cosmetology nail whirlpool bath, or spa, wherein the user's nails are exposed to a continuous flow of circulating solution allowing for both a more rapid softening of the nail cuticles and also providing the client with a pleasant sensation as the solution flow circulates between the fingers. The nail bath comprises a first compartment for holding the solution and a second compartment, below the first, for housing a motor, a first gear mounted to the motor shaft and a second gear coupled to the first gear and driving a stirrer device. With the motor energized, the second gear rotates the stirrer which, in turn, creates a whirlpool which circulates the solution within the second compartment.
