What drill bit do you use for acrylic nails?

We suggest you use our Gel X specialty carbide bit to remove acrylic nails! We call this our go-to removal bit as it is one of the most popular bits for product removal! The unique cutting flutes remove gel polish quickly without damaging the hard gel or acrylic underneath. You can use it for enhancements and structure manicures. Use the Acrylic Shaper nail bit for smoothing and sealing the acrylic once you apply it.
