1. Push back the cuticle to reveal dry, dead skin.
2. Use a diamond detail bit at low speed to clean the cuticle pocket and sidewalls.
3. Switch shapes for tight corners and broader areas as needed.
4. Use the 5-in-1 bit for shaping and smoothing.
5. Fit a sanding band to the mandrel for surface prep or finishing.
6. Clean, disinfect and dry every bit after the service according to your local regulations; discard used sanding bands.

• Running high speed on skin: High speed causes heat and irritation; keep cuticle work at low speed.
• Working on live tissue: Detail bits are for dry, dead skin only; stop once the area is clean.
• Reusing sanding bands: Sanding bands are generally single-use; replace them for each client.
• Using one shape for everything: Each shape suits a different area; switch bits for better precision.
• Pressing too hard: Light contact gives cleaner, safer results.

Do I need any other bits besides this set?

This set focuses on prep and detail work. For heavy product removal on enhancements, add a barrel or cone bit in a coarse or medium grit.

Which bit should a beginner start with for cuticle work?

Start with a rounded, gentler diamond shape at low speed to learn control before moving to pointed shapes for tight pockets.

Can the mandrel be used on natural nails?

Yes, with a fine sanding band and very light pressure, it can help prep or smooth the natural nail surface. Use coarser bands only on enhancements.

How do I stop sidewalls from getting nicked?

Use a slim shape at a shallow angle and choose the rotation direction that moves away from the skin on each side.

What is the best way to store bits between clients?

After cleaning and disinfecting, dry each bit completely and store it in a closed, clean container or bit holder. Keeping bits organised by grit also speeds up bit changes during a service.
