SYSTEM PAIRING
For best results, use as part of a structured removal system:

Step 2: Refine the remaining product using a Sanding band in 240 or 180 grit
-
Step 3: Follow with cuticle work

Its role is controlled light removal, refinement, and precision. If you love the shape but wish to use it for debulking try out Penny - Medium or Poppy - Coarse option.
