Maximum control in the tightest areas. The Cloud's 1.6mm round top shape is the most compact Step 1 bit in the Willow range — designed for techs who want precision over coverage. Guide the rounded edge along the cuticle line, then use the tip to access the tightest side wall zones and cuticle pockets. Fine grit and cooling grooves keep the client experience featherlight, even in detailed work.
Suitable for both left-handed and right-handed use.
WHAT IT DOES
- Lifts and separates the cuticle with precision in tighter areas
- Cleans the cuticle pocket and removes pterygium in tight zones
- Refines cuticle and side wall areas with accuracy
- Cooling grooves reduce heat build-up for a comfortable client experience
- Prepares the area for product application and long-lasting adhesion
