How to use a nail drill?
Using a nail drill effectively and safely requires practice and a clear understanding of the proper techniques and use of different nail drill bits, as improper use can damage your nails, cuticles or skin. So, if you're a beginner, practice using one on artificial nails before working on real nails. But if you're ready to begin, here are our top tips for the best results.
-
Read your nail drill's safety manual before starting.
-
Start with low RPM (revolutions per minute) and gradually increase.
-
Apply light pressure, as pressing too hard can cause friction, creating heat and a burning sensation.
-
For the same reason, always keep the nail drill moving. This will also give you an even finish.
-
Hold your e-file like a pen.
-
Anchor and steady your hand on the work surface.
-
Select the right nail drill bit for the job.
-
Understand the forward and reverse settings. A clockwise rotation is usually for working on the left side of the nail, and a counterclockwise rotation is for the right side. (Swap this if you're left-handed.)
-
Always wear safety gear to protect your eyes and wear a dust mask. If you're working in a salon, a dust collector is highly advised.
-
Always clean and sanitise your nail drill bits after use.
