Tricks of the Trade: OPI TOOLing Revamped in Rainbow Titanium

OPI’s wonderful nail tech (manicure and pedicure) tool line gets a pretty upgrade.

I recently mentioned the love of my favorite cuticle pusher from OPI’s TOOLing line, but they’ve gone and made the entire line even better.  The form has not changed, but the metal has been upgraded to titanium, meaning an extremely strong and long lasting implement.  Titanium is usually an attractive gray, but OPI took it an extra step and anodized, creating a rainbow effect:

Holy glitter & unicorns, is this stuff pretty.  I’ve gone through a dizzying array of nippers, and in a work environment the cuticle nipper can get used for clipping things that should not be clipped!  With my rainbow titanium AccuNip, it is clear this pair is hands off and for cuticles only.

I know this particular tool looks somewhat unwieldy, compared to all of the small, sleek nippers out there.  I can tell you this is not the case. The titanium is very light, the nippers very sharp, and it is actually quite ergonomic and easy to control.  All of the things you want in a nipper.

The entire TOOLing set is available in rainbow in the OPI Wallet.  Very professional, if a tad blinding.

Check OPI or your local distributor to purchase.

Note: Anodized titanium is a surface treatment created by oxidization.  It will not fade, but does scratch.  If this happens, it is possible to re-treat by a metalsmith or jeweler, but I don’t have any ballpark on cost. Also, OPI’s sharpening services continue with this version – $9.95 to maintain precision.
