One of Willow's best-selling prep bits — and for good reason. The Anastasia's flat-edged sciver shape is built specifically for lifting and separating the proximal nail fold, giving you the precision and control of a manual cuticle pusher, without ever picking one up again.
Suitable for both left-handed and right-handed use.
WHAT IT DOES
- Separates the proximal nail fold from the nail plate cleanly
- Replaces the need for a manual cuticle pusher
- Reaches deep into side walls with precision
- Creates a clean, structured base for product application and long-lasting retention
BEST FOR
- Step 1 cuticle lifting and separation
- Techs who prefer a flat-edge sciver shape over a tapered flame for controlled lifting
- Achieving a clean, structured cuticle line
- Techs prioritising client comfort and a smoother glide during longer services

COATING: GOLD PVD
The Gold PVD coating takes the same Anastasia 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
- Do not use on the nail plate
