The slender flame shape that techs keep coming back to — now with cooling groove technology. The Mist's 1.8mm flame tip lifts the proximal nail fold, separates cuticle from the nail plate, and reaches into side walls with precision. Engineered cooling grooves reduce heat build-up during use, and real lab-grown diamond delivers up to 1.5x the lifespan of standard diamond-coated bits.
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
- Accesses tight side wall areas with precision
- Cooling grooves reduce heat build-up for improved client comfort
- Prepares the area for product application and long-lasting adhesion
BEST FOR
- Clients with more visible cuticle — the slender flame shape lifts and separates efficiently
- Techs who want a classic flame shape with reduced heat sensation
- Longer prep sessions where warmth can become a concern

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
SYSTEM PAIRING
-
Step 1: Mist Medium — lift & separate cuticle
-
Step 2: Ball — remove non-living tissue (or manual nippers)
-
Step 3: Diamond or Silicone Polisher with cuticle oil
CLEANING & CARE
Step 1 — Clean: Use warm soapy water, the Willow Spit-Spot-Bit-Pot, and the Willow Brass Brush to remove dust and product debris from the grooves. Alternatively, use your Ultrasonic Cleaner with detergent on the relevant cycle.
Step 2 — Disinfect: Use your preferred disinfecting or sterilising method. The Willow Spray & Go 2-in-1 is recommended — lay bits on a towel, spray evenly, roll over and spray again. If soaking, steep for the recommended time only — over-steeping will dull the bit.
Step 3 — Dry & Store: Wait 2 minutes then dry thoroughly by hand. Do not air dry. Store in a bit case or bit book.
When to replace: If the bit originally took 1–2 passes to penetrate product and now takes 3+, it's time for a new bit. Working with a dull bit increases physical strain and slows removal.
