Nail Tools & Accessories for Salons

Frequently Asked Questions

What is on the tools and accessories page?+

Everything DTK files under Tools & Accessories, so the grid mixes small consumables with station equipment. The largest groups are Aprés Gel-X tip boxes and refill bags, drill bits, nail tips such as Lamour tips in 50-piece bags, dusting brushes, nail glue, lint-free wipes and soak-off cap clips. Use the filters for brand, product type and availability to narrow the grid, and check each listing for stock before you plan around it.

Which drill bits fit my e-file?+

The drill bits listed at DTK use a 3/32 inch shank, the standard size for nail e-files, and each bit name tells you its shape and grit. For cuticle work, run an e-file cuticle bit at roughly 5,000 to 8,000 RPM, because a higher speed builds heat on the nail plate. Start slow, keep the bit moving and let the bit do the work. The drill bits and sanding bands page sorts bits by shape and grit.

What are Gel-X tips and what do they need?+

Gel-X is the Aprés soft gel extension system: full-cover tips made of soft gel rather than ABS plastic. They are bonded with Aprés Extend Gel, flash cured to hold them in place and then fully cured, and Aprés rates the system for three to four weeks or more of wear. Refill bags hold a single size of one shape, so salons can reorder only the sizes they use most.

Which glue should I use for tips and repairs?+

The page lists KDS professional nail adhesive in single, 50-pack and 250-pack options, and LAVIS Nail Glue Extra Strong with a 3-second bond, both sold for tips and repairs. For rhinestones and charms, a thick rhinestone gel holds better than glue, because it cures under a lamp and stays flexible, so it is less likely to lift. Follow the directions on each label.

How do I keep the station clean between clients?+

Brush dust off the nails and the table with a dusting brush, then wipe the nail plate with a lint-free wipe so no fibres end up under the gel. Clean files and bits between clients according to your state board rules. Soak-off cap clips hold remover against the nail during gel removal, which frees your hands to work on the other side.
