A New Venture Changes the Way We Polish Nails
Redesigning the nail-painting experience for both hands
Create a nail polish wand that’s easy to use.
The flexible, bendable Plié Wand, which can be held in either hand.
Julep, a fast-growing beauty brand, noticed a problem that has vexed generations of nail polish users: The wand on the bottle is awkward and clumsy to use.
After rounds of user research, IDEO and Julep came up with the solution: the Plié Wand. The elegantly tapered handle sits easily in the hand and connects magnetically with a wand finely calibrated for precision. And for maximum flexibility, it bends to rest gently in the hand, making it an ambidextrous instrument.
