Super helpful for me I took cosmetology 24 ish years ago and well I'm out of practice and we never used the Dremel tool so it was an amazing amazing refresher and these videos I just have to say convinced me to take up nails and do acrylics bc I love it one and two I can make money doing fun stuff as well as the fact that these videos are full of educational information as well as tricks and tips of the trade and just absolutely done 100 percent perfect and professional ❤🎉one of my new favorite go to videos for learning station so thank you so much for helping others and sharing so kind of you folks!

I am so grateful! 1 minute in and I went on amazon and bought your product...you are so kind.

[@463Rani]

Thank you. My school never taught us how to e-file. We were only shown how to shape and smooth with hand filing. I’m in a professional setting now and my fellow tech has moved on to her own business and I now have all of her dip clients and I have been so nervous because I know I can’t do them hand filing without taking forever to do their set.

[@KiaraSkyNails]

Hi there! Thank you for watching our tutorial! 🥰 You're doing great stepping into the world of e-filing! It's a game-changer for efficiency. Remember, practice makes perfect, and you'll get more comfortable with time. Keep up the fantastic work! 💅😊

[@scarlettpaz8221]

I love this video! I am a visual learner and you have definitely provided. I do have one question though, I have been struggling to fine a good e filer which ones would you suggest?

[@envylj5190]

Scarlett Paz Check out on eBay & AliExpress. I found an E filed on eBay for $41, and I’m going to purchase it tomorrow. It had good reviews & it’s called “ 30000 RPM professional electric nail drill file bits machine manicure kit -pink “ On AliExpress make sure it has the option to buy a US plug not an EU 💅🏼😁

[@scarlettpaz8221]

Envylj thanks! :)

[@danib4798]

Scarlett Paz, I bought a 30,000rpm drill a couple YT'ers suggested(and its PINK;). King LiDa through Amazon has a great 30,000rpm drill and their portable 20,000rpm drill is just as good, I use it on the go. Both are very reasonably priced. I actually did KZbin reviews on both if you want to go watch them in action. Just go to my channel and check them out!

[@rsarahi14]

Lol I love that subtle shade you threw 😂🙈 stop grabbing for your phone without notifying your nail tech!!!

[@sarahtran4008]

would you be able to make more tutorial videos on how to use all of the different bits that you sell? that would be so helpful!! thank you

Hi. I'm curious about the settings for each particular thing like how many RPMs do you use to file a natural nail to file down acrylic nail to shape?

[@i.8885]

Natural nail with sanding band: around 3/4 Cuticle diamond bits: 15-20 Shaping: around 15 Removing: around 20-25 Each person uses different speeds. My drill doesn't have a digital screen so I just do what feels better

Thank you soo much for this video! It’s wonderful to watch a vid like this where the person does their own nails. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine how to do a technique when they’re doing it on someone else’s nails. Also, what type of e-file system do you recommend for someone who just does their own nails at home? I’m not professionally trained-just do my own to save $$

[@KiaraSkyNails]

Hi Tina, we swear by Kupa, their drills are meant for professional use, but they have excellent quality.

[@thewitchofatlantis6681]

Do you have any tips for someone who’s nail drill only has one speed, which unfortunately happens to be high speed? I’m pretty brand new to doing nails, and am only doing my own. I keep burning my nails with this drill and want to avoid having to purchase a new drill, so any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

Nice video (I am new at all this e-file stuff) I found it very informative on how to file on a neutral finger nail, however could you do video to educate us on how to buy and look for one (for us at home who are not professionals) I guess I am asking you to do a introduction about a/any kind of E-file. Thank you.

Hi, not sure if you’ll reply to this but when I use the sanding bands for my nail it makes scratches on it even though it’s on a low setting and I’m not forcing it on my nail, just a little dab here or there. Could you tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Hi Donna - we just use the generic no-name brand from a local store. If you check with your local professional nail supply store I'm sure they'll have them. :)

[@mylitcorner]

hi, the top and base on the kiara acrylic starter kit are they nail polish? if yes, are they gel

[@KiaraSkyNails]

Hi Lucia, Our dip powders do have a small percentage of acrylates, which is a main ingredient in acrylic powders. However our powders have added vitamins and calcium and are much finer than traditional acrylic. You also uses a series of glazes rather than monomer for application. The Top and Base are glazes, not monomers. ;)
