Cuticle Bit No.21

Shank size: 2.35 mm (3/32") – fits all the most popular e-files.

Gentle 2-in-1 diamond cuticle bit – features

This cuticle bit has a mint stripe, which indicates a gentle grit strength. The diamond grit – even, finely ground and flawlessly made – allows very thorough, precise work while minimising the risk of damage. It’s a good combination when you want to go through several stages of professional cuticle work without changing bits, and you prefer a calm, neat pace of work.

• Two functions in one bit – cleaning the nail fold and plate, and polishing the nail fold.
• Grit: diamond, uniform, finely ground.
• Removing cuticle skin from the surface of the nail plate.
• Strength: gentle, marked with a mint stripe.
• Shank: 2.35 mm (3/32 inch) – fits all the most popular e-files.
• Skill level: for experienced and beginner nail stylists.

Diamond Cuticle Bit No.21 – why choose it

Like all Julia Nessa tools, the bit stands up well to disinfection and sterilisation, and the diamond grit stays effective for a long time, which is why diamond bits are associated with high abrasion resistance. With a gentle strength that is an extra advantage – the grit works evenly across the whole surface of both parts, which makes it easier to stay in control close to the cuticles.

How to use bit No.21 step by step

• Check that the bit is clean and properly seated in the e-file chuck.
• Set a low speed – with a gentle grit it’s easy to increase the pace gradually.
• Clean under the nail fold, moving the bit smoothly along the cuticle line.
• Remove cuticle skin from the surface of the nail plate without pressing the tool down.
• Finish by polishing the nail fold for a smooth, neat result.
• After the treatment, clean the bit, then disinfect and sterilise it following the procedures in your salon.

When working around the cuticles, precision matters more than speed, so always adjust the speed to your experience and your client’s comfort. An e-file used this way lasts longer and runs without unnecessary vibration.

Who bit No.21 is for and how to choose between the variants

The bit can be used by experienced nail stylists and by those who are just starting out with e-file manicure. The gentle strength makes it easier to learn to guide the tip around the nail plate during a manicure, and combining two functions saves time and means fewer tool changes. If you do manicures at home on your own e-file, you’ll appreciate that a single bit is enough for several stages of professional cuticle work during a nail set. The diamond grit makes it easier to learn to guide the bit, because it works evenly and predictably even at low speeds.

If you want a stronger grit for the same purpose, choose cuticle bit No.20 with the pink stripe – it has the same diamond grit. Another gentle bit, which also polishes the skin, is cuticle bit No.1 in a teardrop shape.
