How to use the Bits that come w/ your E-File (Nail Drill) Kit | Starter Drill Bits

[@kalishajnz]

Thank you!!! The amount of videos I have watched in the last hour just to get to yours is ridiculous, lol. They were barely helpful and although stated beginner friendly they were not. I just got a e-file and this is the most helpful and thoroughly explained video I've found. I really appreciate it!!

[@thenailauthority]

Ohh Thank you so much! I'm glad it helped you out. It encourages me to keep producing content that is useful. I appreciate your viewership and hope you join our family!!

[@ohlovelyqs]

Yesss thank you for using the beginner bits that are included!

[@lenorajuanita]

Yesss

[@crimetime62]

I'm glad you showed us these bits because I always thought they were no good as it looked too sharp and never used them, I will try them out thank you 💖💖🙏🙏

[@thenailauthority]

They have less incidence of cutting the skin. However, anything can cut the skin if you're spinning too fast or pressing down too hard. It's a great bit for the cuticle area. Make sure to gently push back the proximal nail fold and be gentle with the email. Happy Filing!!

[@lexevesua]

Thank you for taking unexpensu=ive products into consideration for us non nail techs that buy for personal use.

[@thenailauthority]

You're very welcome. I'll keep showing affordable stuff. Thank you for watching. I appreciate it!

[@daniellelochrie7005]

I have these exact drill bits and I’ve only been able to find vids of expensive bits, thank god for you!

[@thenailauthority]

Aww appreciate you! I hope you find a way for them to work for you until you can add to the arsenal!!

[@ashabi13]

How is it that no one else was this informative and all of their videos were way longer. 🙄 thank you ❤️❤️

The most helpful efile video for beginners who just got their first efile machine ❤️

[@thenailauthority]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you commenting!

[@StarsJewelry02]

I'm a beginner nail tech I started at 8 years old never really understood the stuff but i'm 15 now been learning for 7 years I began with nail polish and charms going to fake nails and polish then acrylics about to get my first builders gel and i've had my own electric nail files, but never understood how to use them properly so I really appreciate this video 😊 (my mother sometimes buys my stuff but most of the time I use my own money from working)

[@thenailauthority]

Do you have IG?

[@GirlyEnglishGamer]

What's your ig

[@mamacitahota6136]

every video i’ve clicked on had higher end drill products like kiara sky. i badly needed a beginner tut and found this video that had my exact kit and felt so relieved. i feel so much more confident about using the kit now thank you so much!

You’re welcome! Thank you for watching

[@daleenlouw9294]

Yours was the second video i clicked on & (in agreement) with all other comments here, I am so thankful I clicked on it. Not only did you explain everything I needed to know, you also inadvertently answered my biggest question which was "when do i use forward and when do i use reverse". Really helpful 😊

Thank you for showing us how to use cheap drills/bits that we would just be starting out with and taking into consideration that we just have what we have and might be all we can get. I really appreciate that.

[@allisonmichelle92]

Just got into Gel X and let me say, your video was a LIFESAVER! Whenever I'd look for forums or instruction on using the "cheaper" bits, people would go on and on about how "you shouldn't use...too low quality..." But I refuse to spend big bucks on a e file/bits until I'm certain this method is for me! Thank you for your clear explanations and showcasing the affordable stuff!

[@thenailauthority]

You are very welcome! Until you know this works for you, it's good to start with what you have. Glad the video was able to help you out.

[@sydneysparkzmua]

This! Can you tell us, should those diamond bits be the ones to use on your natural nail? I have to do a fill and I just want to make sure I understand so I don’t wreck myself! Lol

[@ArtisticDazzler]

So so SO informative and helpful…and hilarious!!! I had to pause my e file on “he had a dream…” 🤣😂

Like most I definitely use the Mandrel Bit. My E-File came with a lot of diamond bits that looks like cuticle bits. I never used because it dont get in it like a carbide or ceramic bit. But I also never thought to use at a higher speed get use out of them. I'll practice this weekend. Thanks as always for sharing your Nail Logic 💅💞

[@thenailauthority]

You're welcome! You're right. Those starter bits don't get in there like the carbide and ceramic bits. As always, thanks for watching!!

LMAOOO I love you and your energy!!! Mrs. Lumpy dumpty bumpy yep that's still me 🤣. Please make more videos on breaking down drill bits for us who still don't know what we are doing with them and still trying to figure them out!!!

[@thenailauthority]

I will do my best patawan!! 💕

[@airsignconnection]

Thank you for explaining this in a succinct manor. I've tried to watch several other videos and I can't even make it to the end because they're just rambling about stuff that doesn't even relate to the bit but more knowledge around the process of doing nails if that makes sense. Thank you for keeping it to the point. I have these exact bits and a few others that came with it. Some of them are white and a couple have weird shapes. I'm not quite sure what to do with those but maybe I'll figure it out. Thank you

[@thenailauthority]

I'm working on a new video that will explain more about all the bits. The white bits are ceramic bits. They're best used for gel polish and gel removal. Some people do use them for acrylic and polygel removal. I've found the metal or carbide bits remove the product faster.

[@oliviap2031]

[@thenailauthority]

You are so welcome! I'm happy it helped you. Make sure not to press down too much. If you need to press down a little much, it means the bit is dull & you need a new one.

I'm so glad I found your video explaining E file Bits. I'm learning to do my own nails and I bought an E File. Thank you so much for explaining each bit. Im getting a wee bit better. But I would like to ask how many Rpms should I use when backfilling with builder gel? Should I have it high or low ? Thank you.

[@thenailauthority]

When backfilling on the natural nail, I don't exceed 5,000 rpm. If it's on the acrylic, hard gel, biab, or polygel, I won't go higher than 13,000 rpm's. Now, if you're using the sanding band, it's going to heat up so be careful that you aren't pressing down too hard. Hope this helps. Just take your time.
