SEARCHThe new drop-resistant lamp is the company's most durable.
OPI is introducing STAR LIGHT, a new LED light with a drop-resistant structure and precision curing that will stand the test of time—2-year limited warranty guaranteed. The lamp has been ergonomically tested in collaboration with nail pros around the world.
OPI reimagined the popular features from the original black OPI LED light, creating a durable light with lasting star power.
STAR LIGHT’s sturdy structure is constructed from 58% steel and aluminum metal and 25% OPI Resist Polymer making it resistant to functional damage after accidental drops. Twenty-two targeted LED lights and a mirrored interior for even light distribution allow for uniform curing across all five fingers and toes, and its exterior is acetone-resistant thanks to the OPI Resist Polymer.
"As the no. 1 professional nail care brand, supporting nail professionals has always been our priority–and it still is 40 years later," says OPI Co-Founder and Brand Ambassador Suzi Weiss-Fischmann. "The OPI team, along with nail professionals around the world, have worked hard to create a light that truly meets the needs of nail technicians. STAR LIGHT isn’t just functional, it’s also beautiful, and pros don’t have to worry about accidental drops since the light is drop-resistant.”
STAR LIGHT features optimized ergonomics that were designed and tested with nail technicians. The backside of the lamp has pro-facing control buttons that allow for easy and comfortable service–this includes auto mode with a hand sensor to activate a preset timer, 3/5/30/60/90 second timer modes, and an optional mute button to silence the timer’s tone. A spacious interior with a wide opening allows for various hand sizes and nail lengths, adjustable rubber feet and a removable hand plate make the light pedicure friendly, and it’s designed to minimize heat spikes giving clients a comfortable service.
STAR LIGHT’s sleek and professional design features a grey exterior that masks nail dust, and its steel rose gold colored handle makes for easy transportation. The light’s metal hand plate is easy to use and disinfect, and the rubber feet allow for stability. The on/off switch includes auto turnoff after 30 minutes of inactivity and the plug placement was thoughtfully designed to stay out of the way when in use.
Before a client has even sat down, she has decided whether your salon has its act together, and scent is the one piece of that first impression most salons leave to chance. Aura House co-owner Leif Frey makes the honest case for ambient scent in a salon, including why ventilation, not fragrance, is the answer to fumes. Plus, the four decisions that matter more than which scent you pick.
