A hand-operated self-contained machine made out of molded plastic for applying an image on a nail of a person's digit or an object, such as, a golf ball, consisting of a base frame including side rails. An element is provided to establish a reference point. An image creating holder is integrally molded to the side rails. An indexed wheel holding a plate containing a plurality of images is supported on the holder and can be indexed to any one of a plurality of positions. An image composed of an image defining coating material is created at one image position on the plate. A positioning member receives and adjustably positions a person's digit or object relative to the location of the created image in an appropriate orientation relative to the reference point. A transfer member is mounted on the side rails movable for transferring the created image from the image creating plate to the person's nail or object and a manually operable drive member drives the transfer member.
