1. An integral nail polish stirring system comprising:
a) a nail polish container comprising:
i) a reservoir;
ii) a container open end;
b) a nail polish solution configured within the reservoir of the nail polish container and comprising:
i) a first component;
ii) a second component;
c) an integral nail polish stirring cap removably configured over the container open end, the integral nail polish stirring cap comprising:
i) a cap body forming a cap cavity;
ii) a rotating drive platform configured within the cap cavity, the rotating drive platform comprising a drive platform aperture;
iii) a cap button;
iv) a helical drive shaft connected to the cap button and extending through the drive platform aperture, wherein the helical drive shaft extends along a drive axis;
v) a spring configured in an actuation chamber of the cap cavity between the cap button and the rotating drive platform;
vi) a slip plate configured between the spring and the rotating drive platform to reduce friction between the spring and the rotating drive platform;
wherein the cap button is configured to actuate within the cap cavity and wherein the helical drive shaft is retained within the cap cavity when the cap button is actuated to rotate the rotating drive platform;
d) a stirring shaft connected to the rotating drive platform an offset distance from said drive axis and extending linearly to an extended end configured within the nail polish within the nail polish container;
wherein the stirring shaft rotates with the helical drive platform in a circle about said drive axis;
wherein the stirring shaft comprises an applicator tip comprising an applicator brush on the extended end of the stirring shaft forming an applicator for application of nail polish solution to a person's nail;
wherein the helical drive shaft is configured to rotate the rotating drive platform when the cap button is actuated toward the rotating drive platform, wherein the helical drive shaft rotates the rotating drive platform and wherein the rotating drive platform moves the stirring shaft in a circular motion about the drive axis to mix the nail polish solution, and
wherein the spring is compressed when the cap button is actuated toward the rotating drive platform and produces a force to force the cap button back away from the drive platform.
