20150102195 | Adjustable Nail Polish Bottle Holder - A liquid applicator bottle holder that retains any size of a fingernail polish bottle. The holder has a spring loaded top capture ring that is slidably mounted within a tilting, lockable arm that allows the fingernail polish bottle to be stored or used in an angled configuration, The upper surface of the base has grippable, sawtooth non slip surface that is contoured with a central depression so as to grip a portion of the base peripheral edge of the bottle. The device holds a fingernail polish bottle on an angle so that it is easier for the user to get the top applicator in and out of the bottle. It also allows the viscous, expensive fingernail polish to collect at a corner of the bottle so that it can more easily be picked up by the applicator, and is less likely to dry out, therein saving material costs. The holder has a tapered side stand configuration such that other liquid applicator bottle holder may be abutted adjacently so as to form a ring of holders or a nail polish station. | 04-16-2015 |
