A precision buffer-style e-file bit engineered to smooth, refine, and perfect the nail surface at the final stage of service.
The Buffer Bit is a metal alternative to a traditional hand buffer, designed to buff & refine product to a high shine while reducing refining time and cost. Its long barrel shape and cross-hatched grit allow for consistent, even surface smoothing across the nail, making it a powerful finishing or prep tool for both enhancements and natural nails.
This makes it ideal for:
Refining enhancements before top coat
Smoothing the natural nail surface ready for product application
Removing base coat after colour removal
Reducing manual buffing time
