Nail-polish removing apparatus

An apparatus for assisting a user to selectively remove nail polish from a first surface while reducing the likelihood of spilling excess nail polish on a second surface, said apparatus comprising:

• a container for housing a predetermined quantity of nail polish removing liquid and having a centrally disposed longitudinal axis, said container including a substantially smooth outer wall for being grasped by the user, said container further including an open top edge portion equidistantly spaced inward from said outer wall and centered about the axis, said top edge portion having a threaded outer surface;
• a first lid removably attachable to said top edge portion and including a centrally disposed lip portion centered about the axis and protruding upwardly from said first lid, said lip portion having a threaded outer surface and being integral with said outer wall, said first lid further including a recessed portion vertical aligned with said lip portion such that the inner wall of said recessed portion is flush with the inner wall of said lip portion, the recessed portion extending downwardly therefrom such that a cavity is formed therebetween, said recessed portion being provided with a rectangular slot situated above a fill line of said container;
• a second lid removably attachable to said lip portion and being provided with an annular opening vertically aligned with the slot for defining a free and unobstructed passageway extending along the axis from a bottom surface of said container to an exterior of said lip portion, said first and second lids being independently operable such that said second lid is removed from said lip portion while said first lid is maintained at a stationary and engaging position with said container;
• and
• an elongated wand having a substantially linear shape and further having opposed end portions, one of said end portions is positioned within said container and the opposite end portion is extended through said second lid to the exterior of said second lid such that the user is able to repeatedly remove said wand from said container while said first lid is engaged with said container, said wand further including a cleansing head connected to one said end portions thereof;
• wherein said slot and said opening are sized and shaped such that said cleansing head is positioned through the slot but not the opening to thereby allow a user to maintain said cleansing head spaced within the cavity while excess nail polish is removed from said cleansing head, said wand having a lower portion sized and shaped smaller than the opening so that said second lid is rotatably detached from said first lid without causing said wand to rotate.
