Abstract:
A kit for holding and applying nail primer, comprising:a) a holder for resting on a surface;b) an applicator replaceably attached to said holder for containing and applying the nail primer; andc) an eye dropper replaceably attached to said holder for filling said applicator with the nail primer, wherein said holder comprises a base that is planar, horizontally-oriented, and has:i) a lowermost surface for resting on the surface;ii) an uppermost surface;iii) a rearmost edge; andiv) a pair of side edges, wherein said holder further comprises a rear wall that is planar, vertically-oriented, and extends upwardly from said rearmost edge of said base of said holder, to an uppermost edge that is rearwardly-upwardly inclined, wherein said rear wall of said holder further has:A) a pair of sidemost edges;B) a frontmost surface; andC) a rearmost surface, wherein said holder further comprises a pair of side walls that are planar, vertically-oriented, and extend upwardly from said pair of side edges of said base of said holder, respectively, to, and angle accordingly, said uppermost edge of said rear wall of said holder, and forwardly along said pair of sidemost edges of said rear wall of said holder, to slightly forwardly of said rear wall of said holder, wherein said holder further comprises a pair of arms that are horizontally-oriented and are spaced above said base of said holder, wherein said pair of arms of said holder have a pair of first portions that are triangular-shaped and extend forwardly from said pair of side walls of said holder, respectively, coplanarly to a distance of said base of said holder, and upwardly and angling accordingly to said uppermost edge of said rear wall of said holder, wherein said pair of arms of said holder further have a pair of second portions that extend inwardly, towards, but short of each other, from said pair of first portions of said pair of arms of said holder, respectively, so as to form a gap therebetween, wherein said holder further comprises a shelf that is planar, horizontally-oriented, and extends forwardly from, and contacts, said frontmost surface of said rear wall of said holder, along, and contacts, said pair of first portions of said pair of arms of said holder, to, and contacts, said pair of second portions of said pair of arms of said holder so as to form a web that prevents movement of said pair of arms of said holder, wherein said shelf of said holder has a throughbore that extends vertically therethrough, communicates with said gap between said pair of arms of said holder so as to form a keyhole configuration, and replaceably holds said applicator.
