I think it's satisfying to watch. If you need help with dust you can get a nail dust vacuum it's really good for home use if you do acrylics or gel nails. Edit also a HEPA filter air purifier you really don't want to be breathing this stuff in really

[@adiptionnails]

Totally agree - I am outside wearing a mask when using the e-file.

[@jobrowning4061]

I kept trying to blow the dust off the video on my phone screen! 😂

[@RachelKrystina]

I need to practice my cuticles are sooooo sore from attempting this yesterday 😂

[@adiptionnails]

Oh no! Make sure you use a slow speed and don't press down. It really shouldn't hurt at all - it's should be more like a very gentle exfoliate, if that makes sense!

[@RachelKrystina]

Thank you! I’ll give it another go next time it didn’t hurt at all until afterwards so I didn’t realise 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 only had it on 3-4 got a lot to learn haha

What is the best way to do your non dominant hand

[@adiptionnails]

Oh good question! Carefully, when you're starting out ;) I tend to hold the drill still, and move my nail - it stops me getting injuries from being to un-co haha It definitely gets easier with practice!

[@PiperZimmerman]

how do i know if or when i should use the F or R setting?

[@adiptionnails]

Good question - if the drill seems ineffective, or the bit 'runs away' try reversing it - you'll soon see which direction works best for the hand you're filing. I find movement in one direction - ie, cuticle to free edge, not back and forward - is best when doing your own nails.

[@danaceleste-777]

So no need to cut after doing with this tool?

[@jessicapeletier8268]

No, mostly not necessary! Of course you still can if there's some stragglers, but generally I don't find there's a need!

[@barnabascollins4625]

Satisfying

Hi what mm is your ball bit?

[@ritterbride]

I just got this. How do I sanitize the parts? Do I need to? I’m particularly concerned about parts use under the cuticle. Thanks

[@adiptionnails]

It's a good idea to wash and sanitise your bits from time to time - and every use if sharing with more than just yourself. You can wash the bits in dish soap and hot water, and I like to turn the drill on and spin the bit in acetone to clean them - I use the lid of my drill bit, works like a charm :) You can also use isopropyl alcohol to disinfect.

[@crystald3655]

I put mine in 91% isopropyl alcohol to sanitize them.
