[@TheSimplyDee]

What is the dust collector on your drill and where did you find it?

[@WhisperAudiosASMR]

Oh my goodness your voice is so soothing!

[@emilyjones-gerrard9501]

Agreed! I come here for nails and stay for the voiceovers

[@allieg6401]

This was a great video to watch as a beginner wanting to try this technique on myself your video was so easy to follow and I LOVED what you said about "its not the tools it's the fools using them that do the damage" !! Applies to sooooooo much in life! Thank you for taking the time to film, edit, and upload for us!

[@yaiscolors]

I’m so happy I found your channel! I’m no professional, but I have learn on my own to do my nails since I don’t have the means to go every few weeks to have them done, but I keep searching for information to learn more because I like it, plus sometimes I do my mom’s and grandmother’s nails. This video was so informative and I loved it! So I sat down with notebook and pen to wrote down the information I needed to keep close. I watched a few more videos and I definitely can learn lots from you! Thank you for how well you give the information! I hope to keep learning more and more from you! 💜

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Thank so much for the feedback Yasiris!

[@almantaite]

I am a nail tech working Russian style. safety is key if you want that client's nails to be healthy. going a little too deep with a flame bit and the client will feel pain. anyways, when working on myself, I like to do the Russian manicure every other time, and when it's time to refresh simply push cuticles back and lightly buff them with a large diamond ball bit ;)

[@PaolaPonceNails]

ah! what a great idea, every other !

[@RAJOHN-ke7mc]

This is exactly how I do my nails.

[@Vaneszatorres]

Soft spoken videos >>

[@sandrastreifel6452]

I’m watching, to learn how to avoid soaking and cuticle removers, for gel manicures. I’m hoping dry prep will reduce lifting! Your tip to increase RPM’s rather than pressure, really helped!!!

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Yay! Glad it did!

[@mbkabdo]

no matter beginner or advanced, cutting the living skin, eponychium is not safe and should never be done according to science and our Nail Technology book. ❤ if nail oil is applied as it should be, the skin around the nail shouldn’t become dry or rough looking ❤ the salon life youtube channel has many videos and proves this technique isn’t necessary.

[@TatianaGratcheva]

What electric file would you recommend for those that use them on themselves?

[@beautypreneur_]

Is that a dust collector around your e-file if so where did you get it and how did you get it to connect to your e-file?

[@Tyrapalmer127]

I enrolled in nail school but want fo specialize in Japanese gels and Russian manicures. I live in NYC everyone loves acrylic 😔 I want to be successful just like you in your niche

[@avonleaerbert1539]

What dust collector are you using? I love how it’s connected to your drill, genius!

[@parrisporopat1659]

Looks good PP nails!

[@CenasEthyl]

How many weeks or months to learn this kind of cleaning? I want to learn this😊

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Most things you practice on yourself first, but efiling I would go ahead and do the egg-practice trick. Grab a brown egg (you can hard boil if you’d like) and practice your pressure on it w/ an efile. Obviously, your pressure should be light enough where you don’t break it :)

[@linajimenez7410]

Thank you Paola for sharing this great information! 🌸

[@ЭлинаАллахвердова]

You can find another versions of a flame bit, a bigger and fatter one. It's easier to use and the results is still clean.

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Thank you for that info!

[@CenasEthyl]

How many hours this cleaning takes

[@ImAshlynnCarter]

I don’t love the Russian manicures bc they make your fingers look like toes. But I do love a dry mani, with the bits, but not excessive trimming.

[@jcchiou7628]

Same!! That look makes me cringe!

[@marcoponce85]

Excellent video!

[@unsaintedbeauty]

Love your videos, at around what rpms are you using the cuticle bits, sometimes I think im running mine to slow 🙈 Thanks for the great videos!

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Yes, usually we are running them too slow. Just remember that if the speed increases your pressure on the finger should decrease.

[@performancepundit6245]

Kindly comment on the rpm for each step

[@pennylane7600]

Where do you purchase the diamond tip bits ? I’m a Aesthetician with Gehwol Pedicure training & already do some of this work But I’ve not seen these bits at my supplier Thankyou

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Nashlynails or Nail Labo

[@juanitaacevedo4011]

I like the cuticul pusher that you are using. Where did you buy it??

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Staleks at Nashlynails.com has all my faves. (Code PPN10)

[@RAnailbar]

this is great. thank youuu

[@janaki5994]

Thanks for the info!!!! Where do you get your gloves from?

[@gabriellemartin1575]

Great video as always ❤️ does the baby barrel bit from nail labo have sharp edges? Also where did you get your pusher from?

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Hmmm... baby barrel is “flat” top, not sharp enough to nick a client. Pusher, I believe I bought from Skyline.

[@errmmokk9542]

Can you use the baby barrel bit for prep of the whole nail?

[@christiangyrl3]

Do you the same thing for someone with deep ridges?

[@davinky3322]

Are bits standard? Does it matter if I buy an electric file from company and the bits for another?

[@PaolaPonceNails]

That’s totally fine. Some of my favorite are from enailcouture.com , paolaponcenails.com/erica , and Nail Labo. Code for Erica’s is ‘ppn10’.

[@Curedbyv]

Hi ! I’d tht a dust collector around your efile handle ?

[@mrsdietz1031]

So i been doing it for a long time without realizing is a Russian mani I called prep

[@MegaFjeder]

Hi Paola I am left handed.. Can I use the baby barrel?? :)

[@PaolaPonceNails]

I don’t think it’s cut in a certain way where you could not. But you may want to email to confirm.

[@MegaFjeder]

Thank you 🙏 I'll try and mail them

[@Olenka_gorgeous]

Hello, thank you for your video 💕 What kind of nail drill do you use and what is this tube on top? Is that a nail dust vacuum? I’ve never seen anything like that🤔

[@pennylane7600]

Hello yes Would love to know where to purchase Nail dust vacuum with drill

[@PaolaPonceNails]

paolaponcenails.com/Melodysusie

[@SenneJ]

What dust collector is that

[@nicolesandraperkins]

What kind of e-file are you using?

[@PaolaPonceNails]

The Valentino V-Unit

[@karinam4488]

Hi Paola, thank u for the tutorial. I really like ur work and ur voice! But The frame was too far And waaaay too fast. We can’t see the minute movements that u make, which r so important. Btw, to me personally the “barrel” bit is the most dangerous one cause of the sharp edge. One touch to the nail plate - and u r left with a dip in the nail. I would appreciate if u could show us precisely how u apply those same bits u talked about in this vid, up close and personal 😝😝😝

[@PaolaPonceNails]

The barrel bit I showed is one of the safest! Not that this applies to you, but I was once told. It’s the fools that do the damage! Not the tools :) So true.

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Thanks for all of your feedback. Noted.

[@sharongallagher9045]

It actually started in Germany

[@TheWorldisSoDivided]

That course said $250?

[@unicorni4802]

You can go to Russia and get a course

[@royaltheoneroyalone3498]

Please zoom in, can’t really see what implement you use, and the video is dark, not good.

[@Yani.D]

“One of the five people who don’t know” I’m sure it’s more than five but okay

[@screamingmimi90]

If you’re one of the five people who don’t know what a Russian manicure is… 😆

[@ceknott]

Only one finger is enough but not at fast forward please

[@tanyapakhomova1649]

I’m sorry, but you do wrong and I think it’s not a good idea to show this to beginners. 1. It’s impossible to clean cuticle by working like this 2. You can leave lines on customers nails

[@PaolaPonceNails]

Hi Tanya, Personally, in America we (judging from many of my clients) do not like the “excessive” deep cuticle cleaning. There is many diamond bits that do the work for us, sufficient to tidy up the cuticle & eponychium areas of the nails and provide for the long wear of nails.

[@inessashegai732]

@Nettie Reynolds because even if she does make a tutorial, it would be 100500% hard to repeat it just by watching video on youtube. To get good at hardware manicure you need a lot of practice with a professional, watching process, you have no idea how many damage a wrong angle deals to your nail.🙌🏻
