WHAT IT DOES
Traditionally engineered for those less confident making it ideal for E-file beginners as well as for experienced users due being recognised for its classic shape & soft contours. But in a stronger grit for those removing a robust product. This bit removes & reduces product whilst allowing for a smooth, even surface without aggressive cutting.

Debulks & removes product with controlled reduction

Supports less confident E-file technicians

Creates a smoother finish compared to speciality carbides

Stronger coarse grit allows efficient removal with more speed & less pressure
-
Designed for smooth, predictable performance
-

SYSTEM PAIRING
For best results, use as part of a structured removal system:
-
Step 1: Poppy Coarse – Removal/Infills
-
Step 2: Refine the remaining product using a Sanding band in 240 or 180 grit
-
Step 3: Follow with cuticle work
PRO TIP
The Poppy Coarse should not be used to remove gel polish with a standard base or light painted on builders. But to infill, Debulk & remove heavier products.
For lighter options try the Penultimate Fine or Penny Medium.
