Not many nail techs use this technique, but itโs a game-changer when thereโs minimal dry skin and all you really need is a light cleanup.
Hereโs how to do it:
๐๐ผ Ball bit 031, red grit, 10,000 rpm
๐๐ผ Hold the clientโs finger from the top, just like in the video
๐๐ผ Work only with the center of the bit
๐๐ผ Keep the skin stretched
๐๐ผ Lift the skin first โ donโt move directly to the proximal fold
๐๐ผ Start by trimming the skin skirt from underneath, then smooth out from the top
๐๐ผ Long strokes, no pressure
One thing to always remember โ never place the bit on the upper part of the skin or it will grab and chew it ๐ฌ
