Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cuticle treatment device, comprising:
 a cuticle guide having an edge portion enabled to engage a cuticle of a person, wherein the edge portion further comprises both a manicure tool enabled to engage at least a portion of the cuticle from a fingernail associated with the cuticle and a liquid dispenser enabled to apply a liquid to the cuticle; and   a liquid receptacle in fluid communication with the liquid dispenser and enabled to store a volume of the liquid.   
     
     
         2 . The cuticle treatment device of  claim 1 , wherein the manicure tool comprises a hard material enabled to separate the cuticle from the fingernail. 
     
     
         3 . The cuticle treatment device of  claim 2 , wherein the hard material is selected from at least one of: a steel, a ceramic, and a metal. 
     
     
         4 . The cuticle treatment device of  claim 2 , wherein the manicure tool is formed with a sharpened edge at the edge portion. 
     
     
         5 . The cuticle treatment device of  claim 4 , wherein the sharpened edge is formed into the hard material, and wherein the sharpened edge is enabled to cut the cuticle. 
     
     
         6 . The cuticle treatment device of  claim 1 , wherein the liquid comprises at least one of: a cuticle oil, aqueous solution, and alcoholic solution. 
     
     
         7 . The cuticle treatment device of  claim 1 , wherein the liquid receptacle is removable. 
     
     
         8 . The cuticle treatment device of  claim 1 , wherein the liquid receptacle is refillable with the liquid. 
     
     
         9 . The cuticle treatment device of  claim 1 , wherein the liquid dispenser is formed with an elastomeric material enabled to dispense the liquid. 
     
     
         10 . The cuticle treatment device of  claim 9 , wherein the elastomeric material is selected from at least one of: a rubber, a polymer, and a composite material. 
     
     
         11 . A method for treating cuticles, the method comprising:
 placing a cuticle treatment device on a cuticle of a person, wherein the cuticle treatment device comprises a cuticle guide having an edge portion, wherein the edge portion further comprises a manicure tool enabled to engage the cuticle;   engaging the cuticle separately from a fingernail associated with the cuticle by using the cuticle treatment device; and   applying a liquid to the cuticle, wherein the cuticle treatment device further comprises a liquid dispenser enabled to apply the liquid to the cuticle and a liquid receptacle in fluid communication with the liquid dispenser, wherein the liquid receptable is enabled to store a volume of the liquid.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the manicure tool comprises a hard material enabled for the engaging the cuticle. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the hard material is selected from at least one of: a steel, a ceramic, and a metal. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the engaging the cuticle further comprises:
 separating at least a portion of the cuticle from the fingernail.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the engaging the cuticle further comprises:
 pushing back at least a portion of the cuticle towards the fingernail.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the engaging the cuticle further comprises:
 cutting at least a portion of the cuticle from the fingernail, wherein the manicure tool is formed with a sharpened edge at the edge portion, the sharpened edge enabled for the cutting.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the liquid comprises at least one of : a cuticle oil, aqueous solution, and alcoholic solution. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 removing the liquid receptacle from the cuticle treatment device.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 refilling the liquid receptacle with the liquid.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the liquid dispenser is formed with an elastomeric material enabled to dispense the liquid. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the elastomeric material is selected from at least one of:
 a rubber, a polymer, and a composite material.   
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the engaging and applying steps further comprise:
 engaging the cuticle by a user holding the cuticle treatment device with one hand; and   applying the liquid to the cuticle by the user holding the cuticle treatment device with one hand.   
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 22 , wherein the user is the person.
