Which cuticle cutter? Here are some basic ones!

Which manicure bits should you choose? In the sets that are usually added to the nail drill, there are many of them. Each of them is intended for a different task. Therefore, especially at the beginning of your home manicure adventure, you don’t need all of them, of course. Which manicure bits are a must-have at the start of your journey? Let us suggest!

Which manicure bits? Cuticle treatment

Do you prefer classic styles using regular nail polish, or do you prefer hybrid or gel manicures? Regardless, the basis for an aesthetic look and durability of the style is the precise preparation of the nails and cuticles. If you use a nail drill, preparing the nail plate and cuticles will be quick and effective. The results also depend on which bits you use for the job. 

Which manicure bits for cuticle treatment will you need? There are two shapes: teardrop and ball. After pushing back the cuticles with a stick or pusher, it is also worth lifting them with a teardrop-shaped bit. Remember, however, to perform this task very gently and carefully, as you are working close to the nail matrix. If you damage it mechanically, the entire nail may become permanently deformed. Lifted cuticles will be much easier to cut (if you cut them and don’t just push them back). 

After cutting the cuticles, it’s worth smoothing them to enhance their aesthetics. A ball bit will be useful for this purpose. Ball bits are available in various sizes. With a larger head, you can conveniently treat the sidewalls as well. Working with them will also be faster and more convenient if the cuticles need smoothing over a larger area. Smaller balls are perfect when there isn’t much cuticle smoothing to be done and only a small area needs treatment. They are more precise. 

Which manicure bits for removing hybrid/gel mass? 

If you do hybrid, gel, or acrygel nails and don’t want to spend much time removing the old style, you’ll need the right bits for removing the hard mass. Which manicure bits should you choose in this case?

You can choose either cone-shaped bits or caps that resemble sandpaper, placed on the head of the appropriate bit. 

Which bits for cuticles? Choose the right grit and material!

Which bits for cuticles are worth choosing? Besides the shape, the grit (i.e., the abrasiveness) of the bit and the material it’s made of are also important. The smaller the grit, the gentler the bit – and this is a good choice for beginners when you are just learning to use the nail drill. 

The best quality bits are considered to be ceramic and diamond bits. They do not wear out as quickly as many other materials, so they will last you a long time.
