The cuticle prep bit built for drier skin types and tighter cuticle areas. The Pip Medium shares the same purpose as the Flame — lifting, separating, and cleaning the cuticle pocket — but its shorter, wider seed-like shape gives more surface contact and works better where the Flame's slender tip can't get the grip it needs.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 — particularly effective on drier skin types Accesses tight side wall areas with precision Prepares the area for product application and long-lasting adhesion BEST FOR Cuticle prep at the start of every service Drier skin types where the Flame's fine tip doesn't get enough contact Pocket lifting and cleaning Techs prioritising client comfort and a smoother glide during longer services PRODUCT SPECS Grit Medium Shape Short Wide Flame (seed-like, tapered) Head Size 4.2mm length / 1.8mm circumference Material Diamond-coated Tungsten Steel Coating Gold PVD Speed 9,000–11,000 RPM Rotation Left & right-handed Shaft 3/32" universal fit Lifespan 4+ months COATING: GOLD PVDThe Gold PVD coating takes the same Pip 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 SYSTEM PAIRING Step 1: Pip Medium — lift & clean cuticle Step 2: Ball — remove non-living tissue (or manual nippers) Step 3: Diamond or Silicone Polisher with cuticle oil
