Re-designing a traditionally and stereotypical male tool into a design that is useful everyday for females is a clever idea! With it being able to fit into a pocket it makes it easy to carry around. As for changes i would maybe add in rubber grips on the inside of the circles to soften when using the product but other than that nice work!
It's nice to see that you've made the object more aesthetically pleasing and more fitting to the target market. But in the pictures it looks as if you have to have small fingers to be able to fit them through the holes. This could be a problem for most people as they would become hard to use. Making the handles larger would also make the product look more balanced and less of a toy and more as a tool.
It is great to see how you have successfully came up with a design solution that suits your target market! its interesting to see the improvement of ordinary product to something more appealing to your target market. One concern would be that the handles look like it may be a little small for some people. It would of been a great idea to research some measurements of average female finger sizes to avoid this issue.
Overall, I think the idea of redesigning the plier that is commonly rigid to use as it is designed for male is great. Female tool are not a common thing, the plier now looks more beautiful and appealing, looks easy and handy for female to use. However the only thing that might be a concern is the grip, its either added some silicone or rubber to make it a softer grip, or making the handles a bit larger to make it more comfortable to be used.
