OPI’s NEW Chrome Effects and Infinite Shine Glaze Toppers
After seasons of barely-there manicures and minimalist nail looks, chrome is officially back in the spotlight.
Germanikure’s new tool belt is designed for manicurists, makeup artists, and hairstylists who work on location where a conventional setup isn’t always possible.




Utilizing high-quality leather and an innovative customizable design, Germanikure’s new Session Belt System is a must-have for every beauty professional. The comfortable yet stylish belt is versatile for manicurists, makeup artists, and hairstylists who work on location in tight spaces where a conventional setup isn’t always possible.
“It’s frustrating to lose tools on set or try to hold them in your free hand while working, but it has happened to all of us,” explains Naomi Gonzalez-Longstaff, brand spokesperson and celebrity manicurist. “Germanikure’s Session Belt System is comfortable to wear and allows beauty professionals to have their tools with them at all times. The components don’t bunch up, regardless if you are standing, kneeling, or sitting, and the end look is quite fashionable.”
Created by professionals for other professionals, the Session Belt System is available in two sets. The Large Session Belt System is a large pouch with four back pockets for nail polish remover bottle, disinfectant, hand lotion or phone; three medium two-loop pockets for long implements; individual tool compartments in front; a side loop for a foot rasp or hand towel; a clip-on nail polish pouch with compartments for four nail polish bottles; and a belt. The Small Session Belt System is a smaller pouch featuring three compartments with four implement loops; individual nail nipper and clipper compartments in front; a clip-on nail polish pouch with compartments for four nail polish bottles; a large bottle pouch; and a belt.
Both Session Belt System Sets are available with or without essential nail tools, including a large clipper, coil spring cuticle nippers, crystal glass stick, and a crystal glass nail file. Each component can also be purchased separately.
