A compact, high-control diamond bit engineered for precise cuticle prep and targeted refinement in tight, delicate areas.

The Dewdrop Mini Tapered Barrel 1.6mm Medium is part of Willow’s advanced “Ultimate” range, designed for technicians who need maximum precision in minimal space. Its slim 1.6mm tapered barrel shape allows you to lift the cuticle, remove pterygium, and refine narrow zones with exceptional control, making it ideal for smaller nail plates and intricate prep work.

This makes it ideal for:

• Smaller nails or tighter cuticle areas

• Precision-focused prep where larger bits feel too bulky

• Technicians who want control-first, detail-led prep
