A high-control diamond bit engineered for precise cuticle prep.
The Snowdrop Medium is a miniature version of one of Willow’s best-selling prep e-file tools designed to replace manual cuticle pushers by allowing technicians to lift and separate the proximal nail fold with precision and consistency.
Its unique flat-edge “mini sciver” shape makes it ideal for:
-
Replacing traditional cuticle pushers
-
Working deeper into the side walls
-
Achieving a cleaner, more structured prep
This is a Step 1 prep bit, built for controlled separation and exfoliation - creating the foundation for clean application and long-lasting retention.
