All You Need To Know About An Electric Nail Drill

It goes without saying that electric nail files are the new talk of the town. They are considered as a high-tech product that’s now being used at every other professional nail store and beauty salon. Now if you’ve never had any experience with an electric nail drill then the idea of this machine might scare you a bit. It’s true that you have to be careful when working with a nail drill but it’s not as difficult to use as it seems. Only if you are super careful and you follow all the instructions properly, you’ll be able to get the best out of a nail drill.

You sure can give yourself a professional manicure at home with a nail drill bit for that you just need a little bit of training first. If you are here today, it’s obvious that you are thinking about buying yourself a nail drill or you just want to keep one at home for DIY manicures. For starters, it’s a great decision and it sure is worth your time and money but as said earlier, you have to be careful when using a nail drill. This is what we’ll be helping you with today. Today we are just going to talk about a nail drill and how you can make the most out of it.

First Learn How To Use A Nail Drill Correctly


The main trick is to learn how to use the nail drill at different speeds. Once you have the right grip on different speeds, things will start getting easier for you with time. For natural nails it’s best if you use a silicone or a diamond sanding bag.

This is how you can shape your nails using a nail drill;
 
  1. Before using the drill, you have to get rid of all the extra dead skin so you need to push the cuticles back a bit.
  2. To prevent breaking or damaging your nails, keep the speed of the drill somewhere between 2,500 and 6,000 RPM. Moreover, you should keep the drill horizontal when working on the nails, which will just help you have better control and grip.
  3. Now to file the nail down and to get rid of the dead skin, move the drill from one end to the other in a circular motion. To make sure that your nails look all polished, use a buffer. In the nail filing process, this is one of the most relaxing things you’ll ever do. Not only will you be able to give your nails a shine but it’ll also help in rejuvenating the skin around your natural nails.
  4. Lastly, you have to use the buffing lotion on your nails.
 

Things To Consider When Buying An Electric Nail Drill


If it’s your first time buying a nail drill, you’ll probably be overwhelmed with all the options available out there. It can be confusing if you don’t know what things to consider when buying a nail drill especially when there are just so many brands and hundreds of different nail drills.

To make sure that you’ve landed on the right nail drill, here are some important factors that you need to take into consideration;
 

1-Speed

You probably won’t have to use your nail drill at its maximum speed but still when buying one, make sure that it offers  25,000 RPM at max. When it comes to your natural nails, you don't need anything more than 15000 RPM but for acrylic ones you might need to increase the speed especially for removal. Most drills out there allow you to adjust the speed as per your needs so you should always buy that one. Just buy the nail drill that can work for you for both acrylic nails and your natural nails.
 

2-Power

Power and speed are two different factors that you have to consider when buying an electric nail drill.

3-Low Vibration
Vibration, noise and heat, these three factors won’t only affect your client but will also affect your performance when using the nail drill. So you need to find a nail drill that vibrates as little as possible. The more the drill vibrates, the more likely you are to mess up the nails of your customer and you might even end up damaging them. So to prevent such things from happening just check the vibration first, test it at the highest speed and if it’s not something that will interfere with your work and performance then buy it.

4-Warranty
Things can go wrong at any time with your nail drill and especially if you’ve invested quite a lot of money, it can be a bit heartbreaking when you’ll have to spend more on repairs and maintenance. To prevent such a situation, the wiser thing to do is to opt for a nail drill that comes with at least a 6-months warranty. Most electric nail drills do come with a warranty but you should always first check this with the manufacturer before making a final purchase decision.

These are some of the most important things to consider if you want to end up with a quality nail drill that’s worth your money.

Do Nail Drills Damage Nails?


To some people out there, nail drills can be a little scary because it’s basically an electric machine that you are using on your nails. However, the truth is that nail drills are completely safe only if you are well trained to use them in the first place.

Not being careful with the nail drill and not following proper instructions will definitely lead to some severe nail damage. You might end up breaking the nail or damaging it in some other serious way. So the simple answer to the question “do nail drills damage nails?” is a “no”. The drill won’t damage your nail if you are careful.

Cleaning The Bits For Hygiene 

Following proper hygiene is important whether you are using the nail drill at a professional salon or using it at home. You have to be very careful about cleaning the bits or else you’ll end up spreading diseases around. Especially if you are planning to use the nail drill on more than one pair of hands then you need to make a habit of cleaning before and after using the drill.

Yes, we know it sounds a bit difficult but again, there’s nothing more important than proper hygiene. So disinfect the bits before and after using the drill and keep all the components of the drill clean. This isn’t just good for hygienic purposes but it also will help you increase the life of your nail drill.
 

Removing Dirt And Debris Built Up With A ToothBrush


It’s quite common for dirt, dust and debris to get stuck in the nail bits but again, if you don’t want the nail drill to cause any long-term trouble then you need to clean the nail bits every now and then. The easiest solution here is to use a toothbrush and gently scrub off the debris. If the debris includes gels then you can even dip the nail bits in some acetone for a while and it’ll all be gone within no time.
 

Drying All The Parts Properly


As it’s an electric nail drill, you can’t leave even a single drop of water on the nail bits or the other parts of the machine. It’s important that once you are done using the nail drill, you have to dry it completely and then start using it back. Also, you need to have proper storage space for the nail drill as the safer and cleaner you keep it, the longer it will work for you.

 

Helpful Safety Techniques To Use A Nail Drill


Now that you know everything about what a nail drill is and how to use one. Next, you will learn some effective safety techniques that can work a long way for you.

Technique 1: When it comes to filing and pushing your cuticles back, you have to use the machine at the lowest speed because the cuticles are quite sensitive and even a single tear or rip can cause you unimaginable pain. Also, any rip can open your entire nail up to infections and bacteria. So working at the slowest speed is literally very important for you.

Technique2: For the backfills, you need to use the machine at a medium speed. When filling the backfills, you can slightly increase the speed but don’t go any farther than medium. If you try going too fast, you might end up damaging that particular area of your nails so be very careful here.


Technique 3: For the nail surface, you need to use a fast speed. However, the maximum you can go is 15,000 RPM when filing the surface of the nails. Anything more than this can again damage your nails in ways that you would never even imagine.

Technique 4: Be very gentle with the pressure. You shouldn’t go too harsh or too slow with the nail drill. It’s all about finding the one right spot between harsh and gentle and once you master it, you are all set to use the nail drill at your professional salon.

 

Is It Safe To Use An Electric Nail Drill?


Yes, it’s completely safe to use an electric nail drill but only if you have the right kind of experience at your hands. Anyone who has never worked at a professional salon or has no experience in nail care should not use the machine directly. The wiser thing to do is to opt for professional salon services if you want to get your nails done with a nail drill and if you want to start using one yourself then it’s better to get some experience in using nail tips first. The more you practice, the better you’ll get at it.

 

Finding The Right Nail Drill Machine


As said earlier, it can be a bit overwhelming when you are trying to find the perfect nail drill machine especially if it’s for professional use. However, the process isn’t as difficult as it seems. Just choose the nail drill that comes with as few vibrations as possible. When you find such a machine, know that that’s what you want for your use.

Also, if you want some nail equipment like brushes or gel kits etc then try KADS. It’s the best brand for nail equipment where you wont only get quality but also affordability.




Conclusion

Now that you know about how to use a nail drill and how to find the right one, it’s time that you start your hunt right away. Just don’t compromise on the quality for the sake of saving a few bucks. Choose the right nail drill even if it means spending a little extra because the more money you
 invest, the better the quality will be and hence it will work for you for a longer time.
