You’re the best for demos...you explained every single part of it, including what the bits are used for. Thank you for doing it! I watched your other demo/review on the other Melody Susie efile and have both in my Amazon cart. Now to decide. I was sold on the other one, but I like that this one is even more compact. So on this one, forward is for using your right hand, and reverse is for when using your left, correct?

[@TheNailPolisher]

Sam Hugh I use this one for my pedicures now and the other one I use for my mobile services. Love them both! & yes, that is what foward and reverse is meant for. It's a great feature.

Thank you sooooo much! Im brand new to gel polish and polygel, i bought a drill from amazon and it did absolutely nothing, it could buff the surface, but it would just totally stop when i pushed harder to eat into the bulk of mistakes i did with the polygel which was alot, now im stuck with these chunky nails, its coming on Wednesday! I really hope it works for me or i will cry my eyes out!

@@emmar8171 ennhhh it could just be the bits that are poop, only the biggest barrel with the coarse circle pad does ANYTHING, but it does stop when you push too hard for a second, its OKAY but im not entirely happy with it, im going to buy some different bits to see if theres any difference. The fact it doesnt come with a USB block is also kinda meh. Id the bits dont work out im just gonna buy an expensive one even tho i am a total noob, but not being able to remove tho chunk flooding is a deal breaker. Save your money.

Hello! I’m a leftie and new to nails, so I was wondering regarding the forward reverse feature... when filing your nails say you are moving the efile from the left side wall to the right, should the bit be spinning in the same direction as you are filing or opposite direction

Hi, I started using my drill today. I have dipped nails. It seems to be taking forever getting the dip off. If I’m suing my dominate hand to take polish off of my non-dominant which direction do I use? Forward or reverse? I’m a righty. Thanks so much!

If you experience "hot" you are either using too much pressure or staying in one spot for too long. The bit needs to be constantly moving across the nail.
