Are you often unsure about choosing IQ NAILS bits? Unsure about which grit to select, and the colors on the bits don’t give you any clues? Wondering what shape of bit will be appropriate? This article will surely clear up all your doubts.
First and foremost, when doing a manicure, we need to be aware that using high-speed tools like a nail drill incorrectly can damage the nail matrix. Certainly, every bit shape is safe as long as the operator of the nail drill is knowledgeable about their work.
The job of stylists is not only to beautify your hands but also to maintain the highest level of hygiene during the styling process. Properly prepared nails ensure that the styling will be effective.
Grit of Bits
During nail styling, we use bits to clean the nail from all skin calluses. Using bits that are too coarse can damage the skin and disrupt the keratinization process. Bits come in various grits, and the colors on the bits indicate their coarseness.
IQ NAILS bits come in colors such as red, blue, yellow, green, and black:
- Green and black: Have the coarsest grit and are intended for podiatrists.
- Yellow: Great for polishing the nail folds with oil at the end of the styling.
- Red: Perfect for cleaning the nail pocket.
- Blue: Handles all calluses.
If you want to simplify the styling process, you can use IQ NAILS duo bits, which have a double coating.
Shapes of Bits and Their Applications
Bits are categorized to indicate which ones are suitable for working on the nail plate and which are for working with cuticles. Bits with a flat surface are designed for working on the nail plate, while bits with rounded edges are great for working with cuticles.
At BeautyShopOK you can find bits with both flat surfaces and rounded edges.
Cylinder, cone, and cut cone bits: Suitable for cleaning the nail plate.
Round bits like ball, pear, and rounded cylinder bits: Useful for dealing with hardened folds on the proximal and lateral nail folds.
It's possible to perform a manicure using only one bit in the shape of a teardrop, which precisely lifts the fold, cleans the pocket, and ultimately handles the removal of any formed folds.

How to Safely Work with Bits
Bits with a flat surface should be used parallel to the nail plate. When working on the nail plate, remember to constantly change the bit's position. Changing the parallel angle to another angle can cause damage to the nail, create grooves, or thin the nail, which ultimately leads to injury.
Rounded bits should be used on the skin in a parallel manner, smoothing or trimming the calloused layer. These bits should not be used on the nail plate as it risks damaging the nail plate.
In summary, all kinds of bits are safe when the operator knows how to use them, and the bits are not damaged, rusted, or chipped.
