A hand held nail polish removing device consisting of: a frusto-pyramidal body having a square bottom wall, a square top wall and four isosceles trapezoid side walls where the frusto-pyramidal body is made of an absorbent material which allows the body to compress during use and resiliently return to its original frusto-pyramidal shape; wherein the frusto-pyramidal body has two generally hemispherical indentations and first and second operational areas; said generally hemispherical indentations being diametrically disposed on opposed side walls of the frusto-pyramidal body providing a surface for engagement of a user's fingers therein for grasping the device, wherein the indentations define a blunt outer edge surface adapted to clean under a nail, a cuticle region and other difficult to reach regions of a finger or toe nail; said first and second operational areas being diametrically disposed along the longitudinal axis of the frusto-pyramidal body; a nail polish removing fluid absorbed within the first and second operational areas of the frusto-pyramidal body, said nail polish removing fluid selected from the group consisting of: acetone or non-acetone polish remover containing ethyl acetate or acetonitrile.
