Integrated, manicure-pedicure station apparatus and method

1. An apparatus, comprising:

a workstation comprising a body and a cushioned non-slip polymer based skin, the body comprising a top surface formed to be substantially flat and inclined upward with progress along a longitudinal direction extending away from a front edge thereof, wherein the polymer based skin covers the top surface of the body, such that the polymer based skin is distinct from a material of the body, and wherein the polymer based skin is chemically resistant and impervious to at least one of alcohol and acetone;

wherein the top surface further extends continuously to form an arcuate cross section region rising and falling vertically with progress longitudinally away from the front edge of the body;

the workstation further comprising a first recess and a second recess, wherein the first recess is within the body and adjacent to the accurate cross section region, wherein the second recess is within the apex of the accurate cross section region, and wherein the first recess and second recess are sized and shaped to support at least one of materials and tools corresponding to at least one of manicure and pedicure; and

the body having a flexible configuration, wherein the flexible configuration is comprised of a lower region of the body folded at an angle relative to an upper region of the body, such that the folded lower region of the body is adapted to abut against an edge of a surface.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the polymer based skin is less than ⅛ inch thick.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the polymer based skin is less than 1/16 inch thick.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the polymer based skin is compliant with pressure from the skin of a subject.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the polymer based skin deflects within the same order of magnitude of the deflection of the skin of the subject resting on the top surface of the body.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the body is homogeneously molded of an elastomeric polymer as an expanded polymer.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the expanded polymer is molded to provide recesses in the expanded polymer to serve as the wells.

8. An apparatus comprising:

a first surface formed to substantially flat and inclined upward with progress along a longitudinal direction extending away from a front edge thereof;

a second surface extending continuously from the first surface to form an arcuate cross section region rising upward and falling downward with progress away from the front edge;

the first surface further comprising one or more first recessed compartments adjacent to the second surface, wherein the first recessed compartments further comprise one or more flexible securement members;

the second surface further comprising one or more second recessed compartments near an apex of the second surface;

a non-slip cushioned skin covering the first surface and the second surface, wherein a material of the skin is distinct from a material of the first surface and second surface, and wherein the skin is substantially impervious to at least one of alcohol and acetone; and

the first surface having a flexible configuration, wherein a lower region of the first surface is bent at an angle relative to the second surface, such that the bent lower region is adapted to abut against an edge of a third surface.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the skin is less than ⅛ inch thick.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the skin is less than 1/16 inch thick.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the skin is a visco-elastic polymer compliant with pressure from the skin of a subject within the same order of magnitude of the deflection of the skin of the subject resting on the body.

12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the first surface and the second surface are homogeneously molded of an elastomeric polymer as an expanded polymer.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the expanded polymer is molded to provide recesses in the expanded polymer to serve as the wells.

14. An apparatus comprising:

a platform having a first surface and a second surface;

the first surface having a substantially flat top and inclined upward with progress along a longitudinal direction extending away from a front edge thereof;

the second surface extending continuously from the first surface to form an arcuate cross section rising upward and falling downward with progress away from the front edge;

a first compartment disposed at the first surface and adjacent to the second surface;

a second compartment disposed at the second surface near a high top region of the second surface, wherein the second compartment is above the first compartment;

a skin covering the first surface and the second surface, wherein a material of the skin is distinct from a material of the first surface or the second surface, and wherein the skin is substantially impervious to at least one of alcohol and acetone; and

the platform comprising a folded configuration, wherein the folded configuration is comprised of a lower region of the platform folded at an angle relative to an upper region of the platform.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the lower region is folded at about a 90-degree angle relative to the upper region.

16. The apparatus of claim 14 , further comprising a lighting member coupled to the platform.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the lighting member is further comprised of an elongated member having a lighting component.
