A high-control diamond bit engineered for precise cuticle prep.

The Snowdrop Medium is  a miniature version of one of Willow’s best-selling prep e-file tools designed to replace manual cuticle pushers by allowing technicians to lift and separate the proximal nail fold with precision and consistency.

Its unique flat-edge “mini sciver” shape makes it ideal for:

• Replacing traditional cuticle pushers

• Working deeper into the side walls

• Achieving a cleaner, more structured prep

This is a Step 1 prep bit, built for controlled separation and exfoliation - creating the foundation for clean application and long-lasting retention.
