The base-safe removal bit. Extra fine spiral cut carbide in a rugby shape — engineered to remove gel polish colour from a standard base coat without penetrating the base layer. The essential bit for The No-Soak method.
Suitable for both left-handed and right-handed use.
WHAT IT DOES
Removes gel polish colour cleanly without disturbing the base coat layer
Ideal for BIAB infills and soft structure surface refinement
Smooths remaining product for an even surface ready for reapplication
Reduces the risk of over-filing and heat build-up thanks to the extra fine grit
Rugby shape provides full nail plate coverage with maximum visibility

COATING: BLACK DLC (DIAMOND-LIKE CARBON)
Our most advanced coating — the Black DLC is in a different league:
Up to 8 months lifespan (use & storage dependant) — up to 4× longer than standard Silver
Enhanced glide and reduced friction — particularly valuable at extra fine grit for base-safe work
Diamond-Like Carbon protection for exceptional hardness and wear resistance
Lowest cost per use — ideal for high-volume techs who want to order less frequently
PRO TIP
The Opal Extra Fine is a colour-removal and refinement tool — not a bulk remover. It is designed to remove the gel polish layer while leaving the base coat intact. Do not use for debulking or heavy product removal.
