You Need a Nail Drill Because Easier Work Makes Better Manicures

A nail drill doesn’t do miracles by itself. However, it does offer relief and saves lots of time and tedium. Some may call it a luxury, but we think it’s practical. A good nail drill makes the process smoother. It speeds up nail prep and removal and helps achieve consistent results. Plus, there’s something satisfying about a tool that helps us stay focused instead of rushed. Choose your nail drill here.

LAVIS Nail Drill

The hardest decision isn’t whether to get it. No, it’s deciding which color to get first. It comes in seven colors: White, Black, Red, Rose Gold, Silver Mermaid, and Gold.

Each of these LAVIS nail drills are made to be convenient for pros and simple for beginners. They feature a durable aluminum alloy casing to protect the powerful motor inside. Plus, the wands are lightweight, comfortable to hold, and easy to use.

This drill model has high torque up to 35,000 RPM. The speed is controllable with the knob on top. If you check the LED display, you can see the speed setting and the battery capacity at a glance.

The motor is brushless, so it’s quiet. Moreover, this drill model has high torque up to 35,000 RPM. The speed is adjustable with the knob on top. If you check the LED display, you can see the speed setting and the battery capacity at a glance. The nail drill controls also allow you to pause the drill and switch between forward and reverse.

The motor is brushless, so it’s quiet and vibration-free. Brushless motors don’t require maintenance and have longer lifetimes. Moreover, they get excellent battery life, so you can expect this nail drill to last between 8 to 10 hours before needing a recharge. Just pop it into the base and wait about three hours for a full charge. The base will need to be plugged into the wall, but you’re not limited to leaving this drill at home when you travel. It’s compatible with 110 and 220 V electricity as long as you have an adapter for the plug.

Also good to know is the fact that your pretty new drill’s color is going to stay looking good for a long time. It’s treated with a UV-resistant coating and it’s acetone-resistant, too.

LDS Nail Drill

Not to be outmatched by the colorful LAVIS selection is the LDS Portable Nail Drill that also comes in seven attractive colors. The portable design is similar, and it offers variable speed up to 35,000 RPM. Even at the highest setting, IT has low noise, low heat, and low vibration so that you can focus on your work.

Turn the knob on top to adjust the speed and check the display on the side to see the setting and how the battery is doing. You can get up to 12 hours per charge. Just return it to the desktop charging base when it needs topping up.

One of the features we like best is the twist-lock system for quickly changing drill bits. Plus, it offers forward and reverse filing, which is convenient for both left and right-handed users. Just tap the button on top to switch directions.

How to Choose a Nail Drill

If you’re new to nail drills, you might be wondering what features are most important. Let’s have a look.

First, there’s no point in getting a nail drill if you can’t keep up with the kind of work you do. We recommend 30,000 to 35,000 RPM if you’re a pro. If you’re doing occasional manicures at home, 15,000 to 25,000 RPM is suitable for filing natural nails or for beginners getting a feel for how to use a drill properly.

You might be tempted by cheap drills but be wary if you plan to use them for hard gel or acrylic. They may not have enough power. You may have heard that rechargeable nail drills are underpowered, and some models may be, but ours are salon-grade. You don’t need to have a corded drill with the power they offer.

Another point to consider is the handpiece. Choose one that feels good in your hand, that’s easy to control. It’s also essential for the handpiece to be lightweight and as vibration-less as possible.

Finally, basic functionality should include forward and reverse working directions without a loss of speed. Notice where the controls are located and whether you have a way to check the battery status and operating speed at a glance.

For Beginners: How to Use a Nail Drill

It’s best if you learn from a pro how to use a nail drill. At a minimum, watch a few videos before having a go. What’s more, practice on dummy nails if possible before you try a live human. It’s all too easy to pit or over-thin natural nails, tear the cuticles, or burn the skin. Here are a few more tips you may find helpful when using a nail drill:

• Hold the wand like a pencil and keep the cord out of your way.
• Always use a light touch! It’s better to do several passes than burn a hole or take off too much length.
• Use the low speed setting on skin and natural nails.
• Don’t focus the bit on the same place, keep it moving to prevent heat spikes.
• Work in one direction instead of back-and-forth. Use the forward and reverse control if needed.
• Keep your pinky finger on the client’s hand to help steady the tool and keep it on target.
• Get to know which bits are best for various tasks.

As always, practice helps build confidence and speed with a nail drill. Soon using it will be second nature.

How to Keep a Nail Drill in Top Condition

Now that you have a nail drill, how do you make it last as long as possible? Check the instructions for recommended charging directions and cleaning methods.

For example, it’s wise to wipe down your drill after each client to get rid of the excess dust. Some bits you can disinfect, but others (like sanding bands) should be thrown away and fresh ones used for the next person.

Be gentle with the cord as this is a fragile point for nail drills in general. Try not to drop the drill or the base. If it falls, check to see if it functions as usual. If the casing overheats or the tool doesn’t perform normally, get it serviced or replace it. The good news is we have excellent prices on nail drills, so check back with us to see the latest models.
