Arizona State Board Nail Technology Practice Exam

What material are high shine bits typically not made of?

1. Plastic

2. Carbide

3. Diamond

4. Gold

The correct answer is: Plastic

High shine bits are primarily designed for finishing and are often made from materials that allow for a smooth, polished surface. Carbide and diamond are commonly used in high shine bits because they provide durability and a high level of shine due to their hardness. Gold is less commonly used as a material for nail bits but can be found in some specialized tools. Plastic, however, lacks the necessary characteristics for high shine bits. It doesn't have the hardness or the cutting effectiveness needed to create the fine finishes that high shine bits are meant to achieve. Therefore, high shine bits are typically not made from plastic, making it the correct answer in this context.
