Method and apparatus for strengthening a nail.

摘要

The strengthening of a finger or toe nail using a package (10) that includes a fabric layer (11) to be applied to the nail (15), and a flexible plastic overlay sheet (12) that includes a first portion (12a) positioned in overlying relation to a first part (11a) of the fabric layer (11) and a second portion (12b) retained to a second part (11b) of the fabric layer (11). The package is positioned to apply the first part (11a) of the fabric layer (11) onto the nail (15) and in the presence of liquid adhesive adjacent the first part (11a) of the fabric layer (11). Rubbing the first portion (12a) of the plastic layer (12) against and relative to the first part (11a ) of the fabric layer (11) smooths the first part (11a) of the fabric layer (11) on the nail (15) causing the adhesive to smoothly bond that first part (11a) of the fabric layer (11) to the nail (15).
