Carbide nail bits are crafted from carbide metal. They are not suitable for use on natural nails, but they are perfect for removing and shaping nail enhancements due to their ability to swiftly scoop away product. These tools are intended for high RPM usage and are specifically designed for single-direction use.
Here are three main uses:
1. Removing acrylic or gel nails: Carbide nail bits are designed to quickly and efficiently remove artificial nails. They can effectively file down the bulk of the acrylic or gel, making the removal process faster and easier.
2. Shaping the nails: Carbide nail bits are also used for shaping the nails. They can be used to refine the shape of the nails, whether it's creating a square, round, or almond shape. The carbide material allows for precise and accurate shaping.
3. Smoothing the nail surface: After removing the bulk and shaping the nails, carbide nail bits can be used to smooth the surface of the nails. They help to remove any rough edges or unevenness, leaving the nails with a smooth and polished finish.
It's important to note that proper technique and caution should be exercised when using carbide nail bits to avoid damaging the natural nails.
