Nail technicians spend a lot of time removing gel enhancement or acrylics. An important tool to make that process faster and easier is an electric nail drill equipped with a variety of drill bits.  And if that file had five bits, in different materials, sizes, shapes, and grits, then you're saving not just time, but energy, too. 

Enter Melody Susie 5-in-1 Nail Drill to backfill, shape and clean nails in record time.  

Four Nail Bits and Their Uses in Nail Services

1. Cuticle Cleaner Safety Bit

Cuticle cleaner bits are perfect for cleaning and preparing cuticle areas, as it can avoid lifting on nail beds even when used in a hurry or in the peak working time. It prepares the cuticle area without damaging the client's nails, so acrylic, gel or dip powder will last longer. 

2. Under the Nail Cleaning(UNC)/Needle Bit

The UNC bit is under the nail cleaning bit. The shape of the UNC bit is pointed and small and this particular shape helps the bit to get in tight spaces. The UNC bit is commonly used not only for under the nail cleaning but also for sidewalls. Some nail technicians also use this bit for making designer holes in the nails.

3. Barrel/Cylinder bit

The barrel bits are great for doing surface work on the nail. You can also use the barrel bits for backfill cutting, shortening, and shaping the nail, and to make a smile line. But make sure you don’t use this bit in the cuticle area.

4. Mandrel Bit

The mandrel bit is commonly made of rubber or metal. You can only use it after slipping it into the sanding band. This nail bit helps shape the nail and do surface work very well, but remember don’t use it too long on your clients’ nails because sanding bands tend to heat very quickly while using.
