The cuticle prep bit built for drier skin types and tighter cuticle areas. The Pip Medium shares the same purpose as the Flame — lifting, separating, and cleaning the cuticle pocket — but its shorter, wider seed-like shape gives more surface contact and works better where the Flame's slender tip can't get the grip it needs.
Suitable for both left-handed and right-handed use.
WHAT IT DOES
Lifts the proximal nail fold without trauma
Separates cuticle from the nail plate cleanly
Cleans the cuticle pocket — particularly effective on drier skin types
Accesses tight side wall areas with precision
Prepares the area for product application and long-lasting adhesion
BEST FOR
Cuticle prep at the start of every service
Drier skin types where the Flame's fine tip doesn't get enough contact
Pocket lifting and cleaning
Techs prioritising client comfort and a smoother glide during longer services

COATING: GOLD PVD
The Gold PVD coating takes the same Pip Medium and upgrades the performance:
Reduced friction — smoother glide around the cuticle area
Minimised heat sensation for the client during longer services
4+ month lifespan vs 2–3 months on the standard Silver — lower cost per use
Best for: techs prioritising client comfort, smoother feel, and ordering less frequently
IMPORTANT: HOW TO USE
Use at the very start of your service — prep stage only
Work at 9,000–11,000 RPM with a very light touch — no pushing or pressure
Gently guide around the cuticle area and side walls
