Benefits of electric file manicure

More and more nail professionals turn to electric filing. 

It provides for quicker and tidier results with less physical efforts. Your wrists and neck will not get tired as the actual work will be done by the machine.

Why take an electric filing course

Nail professionals often do not know how to chose the right tool. How to work with it properly. How each file bit should be used and at what speed.

Many rely on their intuition, and that can sometimes result in nail damage and inflamed cuticle.

Use of an electric nail drill requires prior learning! There are many details and subtleties that you just won’t be able to master on your own.

You should take an electric file manicure course if your work occasionally results in:

• Fissures in the nail
• Ridges from using the bit
• Burns and abrasions
• Untidy manicure
• Tears in the cuticle

This course will teach you how to:

• Chose the right drill
• Chose the right bits
• Chose the right speed for each bit depending on the task you are performing
• Work with different types of skin: dry, moist or normal
• Work with different types of cuticles: regular, spreading, dry, thin and thick.
• Trim the cuticle 
• Shape the sidewalls and deal with cases of hyperkeratosis
• Perform male manicure
• Work with artificial nails and prep nails prior product application

I will demonstrate several techniques of electric filing, so that you’d be able to chose the one you are more comfortable with.

How to choose your electric nail file.

Here are the main points we advise you to pay attention to:

Motor power. For nail files without in-built vacuum cleaning systems it should be in the range 30-60W.

Minimum of vibration with sufficient speed. 30 000 RPM speed is usually enough for all types of manicure, but we recommend more powerful models – capable of 35 000 RPM or more.

Comfortable ergonomic handle, not too heavy. If the handle feels heavy, does not fit the hand and vibrates when in use, we suggest you choose some other one. Unfortunately you can properly test it only if shopping offline. Alternatively there are always comments and advises from other nail professionals.

Reverse direction option. It will be required for filing the nail plate and the cuticle. For those working with electric file manicure the reverse option is a must.

Standard 3/32 Bits. Very important part. You will need plenty of different bits to work with. It’s extremely hard to find good ones of a «non-standard» size. 

Electric files that I can recommend:

• Pro Power 30 K, 35K.
• Strong 90, 210, 702.
• Nailglide 2100
