Attachments made of hard metal are suitable for all common work on gel and artificial nails. So you can also file the tip transition with carbide bits, file extension gels thinner and shorten or shape the nails.

Tungsten carbide attachments are characterized by their extremely low heat generation. They shine with a very high removal rate, so that you can quickly remove the old model. In addition, carbide bits are very wear-free and they also impress with their particularly high load capacity.
