A nail drill is an electric nail polishing tool that uses a high-speed rotating drill head (drill bit) to perform tasks such as shaping, removing dead skin, polishing the nail surface, and applying nail extensions. Its advent has greatly improved nail polishing efficiency and is particularly popular in professional nail salons.
Main Unit: Provides power and adjusts speed.
Handle: Attaches the drill bit and operates it.
Drill bits: These come in different materials and shapes depending on their intended use, such as tungsten carbide, ceramic, and emery.
Foot Pedal or Switch: Some nail drills are equipped with a foot controller, allowing hands-free operation.
| Nail drill types | Applicable groups | Features |
| Desktop type | Professional nail salons, nail schools | High power, strong stability, suitable for long-term use |
| Portable type | Home or mobile nail artists | Small and light, rechargeable, easy to carry |
| Cordless type | High-end nail salons | Cordless design, flexible operation, higher price |
When choosing, users should make a decision based on the usage scenario and budget.
Disinfection tools: Make sure the drill bit and handle are disinfected with alcohol or ultraviolet light.
Trimming nails: First use a nail clipper to trim overlong nails to the appropriate length.
Selecting a drill bit: Choose the appropriate drill bit according to different care needs.
Removing old nail polish
Use a medium-coarse sand drill bit to gently polish until the top layer and nail polish are removed. (2) Cleaning the nail surface and dead skin
Use a flame-shaped drill bit to clean the dead skin at the edge of the nail;
Use a spherical drill bit to gently push away the cuticle to avoid damaging the nail bed.
Trimming the nail shape
Use a cylindrical drill bit to trim the sides and front edge of the nail to maintain symmetry and smoothness.
(4) Polishing and polishing the nail surface
Use a fine-grit drill bit to polish the nail surface to make it smooth; finally, use a polishing drill bit to increase the gloss.
Finishing care
Clean the nail scraps, apply nail polish or care oil, and complete the manicure.
Do not rotate the drill too fast to avoid heat and burns on the nail surface;
Be gentle to avoid over-polishing;
Be sure to turn off the power when changing the drill bit to ensure safety.
Cause: Polishing too fast or staying in the same position for too long.
Solution: Reduce the speed and keep moving the drill bit to avoid concentrating on one point.
Cause: The drill bit is not properly secured or the equipment is aging.
Solution: Check that the drill bit is properly installed and replace the equipment or drill bit if necessary.
Cause: Improper drill bit selection or incorrect operating angle.
Solution: Choose an appropriate flame-shaped or ball-shaped drill bit and operate at a 30°-45° angle.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
| Nail overheating | Too fast or prolonged drilling | Reduce speed and continue drilling |
