Jojo Wickens and Leila Monroy, Scratch Stars Awards winners & co-owners of Light Elegance UK, have collaborated to produce LePhine Pro: a nail tool brand that ‘combines thoughtful design, professional quality and everyday usability’.

Pronounced ‘Leh-feen’, the brand name combines the first parts of the duo’s names, with ‘Pro’ added to reflect a focus on meeting professional standards.

Intended to bring ‘intentional, beautifully designed tools to the hands of artists’, LePhine Pro launched with its first product, the LePhine Pro 3-in-1 Magnet Tool.

“The 3-in-1 Magnet Tool features three magnets in one sleek, hexagonal, anti-roll handle,” details Jojo Wickens. “This includes a large round magnet, a straight bar and a smaller detail magnet for precision effects. This makes it easy to create cat eye designs with full control. To use, simply hold the magnet over uncured cat eye gel at your desired angle and watch the particles shift to create dimensional, light-catching effects.”

This is just the beginning for Jojo and Leila. “Our next release is already on its way,” says Jojo with excitement. “It fills a gap in the market that we’ve been eager to fill since early this year.”

The duo are also working on a variety of other tools, but Jojo notes: “We’re highly selective with every product we create, so each release will come only when we know it’s the very best option available to nail professionals.

“We’re working on creating a wider range of professional tools with the same commitment to detail and design. This is just the beginning, and we’re so excited to share the journey with our nail community.”

LePhine Pro is exclusively available at Light Elegance UK.
