Diamond cuticle bit, rounded flame, blue notch 244/018B

When it comes to professional nail extensions, having the right tools and techniques is essential to ensure a polished and flawless finish. One of the key tools in a nail technician's arsenal is the diamond cuticle bit, which plays an important role in shaping and smoothing the cuticle area of the nail.

A diamond cuticle bit typically features a rounded flame shape, which allows for gentle and precise work around the delicate cuticle area. The blue notch 244/018B is a popular choice among nail technicians, thanks to its versatility and effectiveness. The blue notch refers to the coating on the diamond head, which provides superior durability and heat dissipation for longer-lasting use.

To use a diamond cuticle bit effectively, it's important to have the right technique. First, start with a clean and dry nail. Gently push back the cuticles with a cuticle pusher or orange stick, and use a cuticle nipper to remove any excess skin. Then, hold the diamond cuticle bit at a slight angle and work around the cuticle area, using gentle circular motions. Avoid applying too much pressure or working too quickly, as this can lead to damage or discomfort for the client.

With a diamond cuticle bit, you can achieve a smooth and even surface around the cuticle area, which not only looks great but also helps to prevent lifting or chipping of the nail extensions. As with any professional tool, it's important to handle diamond cuticle bits with care and clean them thoroughly after each use. With the right tools and techniques, you can deliver beautiful and long-lasting results for your clients.
