The invention provides a nail polish device for applying or removing nail polish. The nail polish device comprises a liquid delivering means for delivering a liquid nail polish or liquid nail polish removing composition; a main body structure substantially enclosing the liquid delivering means with an opening for receiving the fingers or toes of the user during use; and a vapor inhibiting material disposed on the main body structure, along the surface proximal to the liquid delivering means. The vapor inhibiting material is effective in inhibiting vapors and/or excess liquids from the liquid nail polish or removing composition by either absorbing same and/or neutralizing same.
