4 Common Mistakes with an E-File That Are Easy to Fix

[@LaNoisette]

Wow! Please more classes with this woman! I love the way she explains things

[@laurasoftheart]

Very, very helpful tips! E-filling is my biggest challenge. I love how she talks about direction, angle, and speed. I have the angle down, and the direction but sometimes I have trouble with what speed I should use. Can she do another video on doing your own nails. I know Mellisa did one but I’d like to see this lady do one. She’s a great instructor!

So glad that you included information for left handed nails techs we are usually completely forgotten about - excellent video, this lady is brilliant

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

Great video! The amount of misinformation that's out there about electric files is ridiculous. I recently fell into a terrible comment section on TikTok and the amount of wrong things being said was staggering. I actually had one girl try to tell me that an e-file should never be used with gel because the e-file made the gel melt into your nail and that's why it felt hot. 😳😳 I tried to set her straight but I know she still believes what she said. And that was just the tip of the iceberg. Just crazy. 🤦‍♀️

I definitely am scarred and stress myself out. Lol. I am going to get the practice hand and start practicing. I tried last night to do my own and I'm a little overwhelmed. I wish you guys were in FL so I could take your classes. Lol!!! Thank you so much for your videos. You have inspired me soooo much!!! @YoungNailsInc

Thank you so much for this video. I recently purchased an efile, but I haven't used it yet partially due to fear. This video definitely helped ease my mind and gives me confidence to start giving it a try! 😇💕

I am super super new I am also left handed I've been watching a lot of videos you're the first person to say something about a left-handed bit what does that mean what would happen if I used a right-handed bit in my left hand

[@youngnailsinc]

Right and left handed bits are cut in different directions. A right handed bit is designed to cut through product when the hand piece is rotating in the “forward” direction & working from right to left on the nail. Left handed pits are cut in the opposite direction & cut best when in “reverse” and working from left to right. If you use a right handed bit with your left hand, it won’t cut as it should and can cause more heat because you may be more inclined to use more pressure.

[@krystalfukinmarie757]

Great video. This will be super helpful to anyone just starting with an e-file!

[@youngnailsinc]

[@bnailed6035]

I really appreciate your support and knowledge. When I first started using a efile I would overfill and end up with ring of fire around my cuticle area and I don't think that pressure is able to be taught as such it's about learning how much pressure you should use # youngnails

[@jamienailsit]

Looking forward to watching this video. I just got a new efile this morning that I ordered and am so excited to start using it. Ive had a super cheap store bought battery operated file that couldnt file to save A life for a little while but it was good for practice more for natural nails not acrylics. After mostley hand filing now that im starting to learn acrylics im looking forward to giving my hands A break lol. Thank you guys for such amazing content ❤️.

I feel you on this one! Once you switch to a quality e-file it's like night and day.

[@carolyndurant8413]

Very informative thankyou

[@taraTJ]

I'm learning with my efile! I must b doing something wrong bc I feel heat/hot spots wen filing off with a ceramic bit, the white one! LOL I think that's what it is! I'm still learning the names, types, & grit

[@michellesutton202]

Thanks for making this video and the explanations why, and giving the examples. Sooooo very helpful,💅🎨✨😍😍😍

Very Very nice video thanks 😊

[@britt1722]

If you are doing your own nails with an e-file do you have go switch to a L hand bit when working on the R hand ?

[@youngnailsinc]

If your bit doesn’t specify if it’s right or left handed, like our coarse safety bit, then you can use it in forward and reverse for both hands

[@britt1722]

@@youngnailsinc what makes a bit a left or right bit?

[@Mo-qe3yv]

How can you tell the difference between diamond bits and carbide bits? Just by looking at them?

[@youngnailsinc]

Here is a great video for you on all our e-file bits: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmiUkqCro92AhpY

[@okalanicomfort3484]

Do you have any input for the homebody that just does their own nails do you still switch the direction of a bit depending on which hand you are working with or working on

[@youngnailsinc]

if you are right handed and you are e-filing your right hand using your left, you switch to reverse depending on which way your right hand is facing. If that makes sense. If you have your fingers bent downward into your palm like almost making a fist, you use reverse. If you work on your right hand while it is flat facing away from you keep it in forward.

[@Mistify2012]

I’m new to YN products and a new subscriber… can you tell me which products are used on your glitter thumb?? That purple is pure magic!!! ✨ 🤩🥰

[@youngnailsinc]

I believe we have a video coming out soon with that in it.

[@Pocketsnuggies]

This was great!!

[@youngnailsinc]

[@Omani61]

If I'm working on myself, do I need both right and left handed bits? Or will the dominate hand bit suffice?

[@youngnailsinc]

If your bit doesn’t specify if it’s right or left handed, like our coarse safety bit, then you can use it in forward and reverse for both hands

[@xandersmomsamby]

Thanks for the tips! I need to make sure I'm not angling my e-file especially by the cuticle. Also the purple glitter you're wearing is gorgeous 😍 which product or polish is it?

[@youngnailsinc]

Purple, Fuchsia, double the joy, rock star and a mix of mylar

[@xandersmomsamby]

@@youngnailsinc thank you! I'll have to go add those to my cart lol

[@crystalsteiniger2246]

I am right handed. So in doing my own nails I keep it in forward for both hands?

Hello, i would like to know the brand of your e-file? And if it's possible where can I find it. Thank you

[@youngnailsinc]

It's our e-file, available on our website. www.youngnails.com/products/yn-desktop-efile

[@cheeto1353]

What’s a good cheap beginner friendly e file? I’ve been looking for a good one on amazon that will last me a long time. Seems like they stop working after awhile.

[@youngnailsinc]

Unfortunately, we can't speak on other products as we don't test them. You can ask in our facebook group and other people can give their recommendations.

[@tarasayrejones]

When I’m doing my own nails do I need to switch from right handed to left handed bits when I’m using my left hand to do my right hand? I’m right handed and I do my dominant hand the same way as my non dominant hand so essentially like a left handed person, but I’ve just been using my right handed safety bit to do both hands.

[@youngnailsinc]

If you are using bits that specify that they are right or left handed then yes. If you are using a bit that doesn't, like our coarse safety bit, you can just switch to forward or reverse

[@tarasayrejones]

@@youngnailsinc thanks for answering my question! I’ve been using your coarse safety bit so I’ll just keep doing that. ☺️

[@Gee-Glam]

👍What about ceramic bits?😕 do they work just as fine?

[@youngnailsinc]

Which type of bits you use is just a preference.

[@chaozinga]

@@youngnailsinc I'm sorry but that wasn't what she was asking about 🙈

[@chaozinga]

Faye, Ceramic bits work just as carbide, what's great about them is that they don't build up heat as carbide bits do. So you won't have those heat spikes that can happen with carbide bits when you hold it in one spot for too long. I hope that makes sense 😊
