Using an electric nail drill, also known as an electric nail file, can save time and give better and more consistent results. Whether you're a professional nail technician or a home user, mastering their use can speed up the time taken while giving salon-quality results. However, to achieve the best outcomes it's essential to understand and follow proper techniques and practices. Here are 10 tips to get you started.
Use the appropriate bit for the task, whether it's shaping, smoothing, or cuticle care. Each bit is designed for specific functions.
Begin at a lower speed setting to get used to the tool and prevent any accidental damage to the nail or cuticle.
Let the drill do the work. Applying too much pressure can cause pain, damage the nail bed, and overheat the drill.
Constantly move the drill to avoid creating heat and friction in one spot, which can lead to discomfort and nail damage.
Hold the drill at the correct angle relative to the nail. For shaping, a slight angle is often best. For cuticle work, use a gentle, sweeping motion.
Try using your little finger on the hand holding the drill to touch the hand being worked on. This reducing any unintentional movement between the drill bit and the nail giving much more control and precision.
Clean and disinfect your drill bits before and after use to prevent infections and ensure longevity of the tools.
If you are doing a lot of nail work use a dust extractor to collect any dust keep the area clean and to avoid inhaling dust.
Bits wear out over time. Replace them when they become dull or worn to ensure efficient and effective use. Spare and replacement nail drill heads can be found here.
Online tutorials can be a great source. Understanding how to properly use each bit and developing your own techniques will give better results over time.
Of course a good quality electric nail file is also a good place to start!
