The base defines an upper opening of a diameter sufficient to allow refilling of a paint material, i.e., a more viscous gel or paint material, wherein the base cover can be removed to expose the upper opening. The applicator brush is insertable and removably within the base cover and includes a plurality of bristles spanning toward a bottom wall of the base. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A separable nail polish container comprising: a base having: a bottom wall with a bottom outer surface and a bottom inner wall surface opposing the bottom outer surface; and a sidewall surrounding the bottom wall and including a sidewall outer surface, a sidewall inner surface, and an upper end defining an upper sidewall opening with an opening diameter, the sidewall inner surface and bottom inner wall surface defining a container cavity housing a paint material therein and having a maximum container cavity diameter, the opening diameter at least 50% the maximum container cavity diameter; a base cover having a lower sidewall selectively and removably coupled to the sidewall outer surface of the base in a threaded configuration and terminating at a terminal end, having an upper wall directly coupled to the lower sidewall of the base cover at the terminal end of the lower sidewall and disposed in a perpendicular orientation with respect to the lower sidewall until defining a portion of an enclosed applicator channel and covering the upper sidewall opening, and having an upper sidewall directly coupled to the upper wall of the base cover and defining the remainder of the enclosed applicator channel wherein the enclosed applicator channel extends above the upper wall of the base cover without extending below the upper wall of the base cover; and an applicator brush having a handle portion with a top end and a bottom end opposing the top end of the handle portion of the applicator brush, the handle portion of the applicator brush having an applicator stem coupled thereto, extending passed the bottom end of the handle portion, disposed within the enclosed applicator channel, and including a distal end with a plurality of bristles coupled thereto, the handle portion selectively and removably coupled to the upper sidewall of the base cover in a threaded configuration. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, wherein: the bottom inner wall surface is of a concave shape. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, wherein the bottom outer surface further comprises: an enclosed recess disposed thereon, wherein the bottom outer surface is of a spherical shape. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, wherein: the upper sidewall of the base cover is disposed in an orthogonal orientation with respect to an upper surface of the upper wall. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, wherein: the upper sidewall of the base cover is disposed in an upright orientation with respect to an upper surface of the upper wall. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, wherein: the base, the base cover, and the applicator brush are selectively and removably coupled to one another in a watertight configuration. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of bristles further comprises: a distal end disposed proximal to the bottom inner wall surface of the bottom wall. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the lower sidewall and upper wall of the base cover further comprises: a friction-inducing material disposed thereon. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, further comprising: an annular-shaped paint barrier disposed on an upper surface of the upper wall of the base cover, the annular-shaped paint barrier defining, with the handle portion of the applicator brush, an annular-shaped channel surrounding the handle portion of the applicator brush. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, wherein the handle portion of the applicator brush further comprises: a labeling member selectively and removably coupled and frictionally retained thereto. ### Claim 11 A separable nail polish container comprising: a base having: a bottom wall with a bottom outer surface and a bottom inner wall surface opposing the bottom outer surface; and a sidewall surrounding the bottom wall and including a sidewall outer surface, a sidewall inner surface, and an upper end defining an upper sidewall opening, the sidewall inner surface and bottom inner wall surface defining a container cavity; a base cover having a lower sidewall selectively and removably coupled to the sidewall outer surface of the base in a watertight configuration and terminating at a terminal end, having an upper wall directly coupled to the lower sidewall of the base cover at the terminal end of the lower sidewall and disposed in a perpendicular orientation with respect to the lower sidewall until defining a portion of an enclosed applicator channel and covering the upper sidewall opening, and having an upper sidewall directly coupled to the upper wall of the base cover and defining the remainder of the enclosed applicator channel wherein the enclosed applicator channel extends above the upper wall of the base cover without extending below the upper wall of the base cover; and an applicator brush having a handle portion with a top end and a bottom end opposing the top end of the handle portion of the applicator brush, the handle portion of the applicator brush having an applicator stem coupled thereto, extending passed the bottom end of the handle portion, disposed within the enclosed applicator channel, and including a distal end with a plurality of bristles coupled thereto, each having a distal end disposed proximal to the bottom inner wall surface of the bottom wall, the handle portion selectively and removably coupled to the upper sidewall in a watertight configuration. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The separable nail polish container according to claim 11, wherein: the distal end of the plurality of bristles coupled thereto, each having are disposed proximal to the bottom outer wall surface of the bottom wall. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The separable nail polish container according to claim 11, wherein: the upper sidewall opening of the upper end includes an opening diameter; and the container cavity includes a maximum container cavity diameter, wherein the opening diameter is at least 50% the maximum container cavity diameter. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The separable nail polish container according to claim 13, wherein: the opening diameter is at least 80% the maximum container cavity diameter. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The separable nail polish container according to claim 11, wherein: the container cavity houses a paint material therein. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The separable nail polish container according to claim 11, wherein: the lower sidewall of the base cover is selectively and removably coupled to the sidewall outer surface of the base in a threaded configuration; and the handle portion of the applicator brush is selectively and removably coupled to the upper sidewall of the base cover in a threaded configuration. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The separable nail polish container according to claim 11, wherein: the bottom inner wall surface is of a concave shape. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, wherein: the upper sidewall of the base cover is disposed in an orthogonal orientation with respect to an upper surface of the upper wall.
