    Perfect polish remover!

    As a first time electric file user, this drill bit made it super easy for me to remove my first set of gel nails using gelous. Definitely beginner friendly.

    So so good!

    This changed the game for me. I'd been using a sand paper bit to remove polish and buff nails and then switched to this one and omg so much better!

    Removes gel so easily and is way more gentle on my nails. I find it really easy to use.

    Wish I'd bought one ages ago
