The Step 2 prep bit. Once the Flame or Pip has lifted the cuticle, the Medium Ball removes the dead protein and non-living tissue left behind — refining the cuticle line for a clean, crisp finish before product goes on.
Suitable for both left-handed and right-handed use.
WHAT IT DOES
- Removes dead protein and cuticle after lifting (Step 2 of prep)
- Refines the cuticle line for a clean, flush finish
- Can replace the need for cuticle nippers, or refine the area after nipping
BEST FOR
- Dead tissue removal after lifting with the Flame or Pip
- Cuticle line refinement
- Techs prioritising client comfort and a smoother glide during longer services

The Gold PVD coating takes the same Medium Ball and upgrades the performance:
-
Reduced friction — smoother glide over 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
