The inventive device includes a generally trapezoidal member having top and bottom surfaces, opposite first and second sides, and opposite third and fourth sides extending between the first and second sides of the member. The member also has a plurality of nested portions. Each portion of the member is extended from the first side of member towards the second side of the member. Each of the portions is separable from member to define a cutout.

A template for covering skin adjacent a nail, said template comprising:
- a member being generally trapezoidal and having top and bottom surfaces, a plurality of corners, opposite first and second sides, opposite third and fourth sides extending between said first and second sides of said member, said third and fourth sides tapering from said first side towards said second side;
- said member having a plurality of nested portions, each portion of said member being extended from said first side of member towards said second side of said member, each of said portions being separable from member to define a cutout;
- and
- wherein said member has top, middle and bottom layers, said top layer being located towards said upper surface of said member, said bottom layer being located towards said lower surface of said member, wherein said top layer is partially liquid absorbent and comprising a woven material to permit liquid to pass therethrough, wherein said middle layer is liquid absorbing, wherein said middle layer comprises cotton, wherein said bottom layer comprises an adhesive.
