Works well, but detailed instructions would have been helpful...
For me, this little nail drill works very well. It's touted as being good for beginners, but I was really nervous about using it for the first time, because it came with absolutely no instructions. Yikes! I'd cut my nails down to nubbins, and have been wearing falsies, so I figured it was a great way to get some practice.<br /><br />There are a few notes on the product listing about how to insert and remove the drill bits, so with that being all I had to go on, I just went for it.<br /><br />As I had no clue as to which bits were for what job, I had to wing it. I tried two. The first I tried wasn't quite coarse enough, so I went with the larger, barrel-shaped bit, which worked well for what I wanted. I'd basically put on some stiletto tips, and managed to jab every family member at least once. I didn't want to completely remove them, but I wanted to take them down a bit and round out the tips. Once I changed the bit this drill did a great job.<br /><br />It got a little warm, but didn't get too hot, and it didn't overheat and stop on me. In my photo is what they looked like right after I was done. I did go over the edges briefly with an emery board for the couple of rough spots left, simply because I'm not yet quite adept enough to get the perfect shaping I want, but practice is key.<br /><br />It's for the same reason that I haven't yet tried the drill on my natural nails. I will, though, once I get a little more know-how under my belt. So, in summary, I like it, and it seems to be beginner-friendly, but I wish there were detailed information available on its use.<br /><br />I received this nail drill free to try in exchange for my evaluation and unbiased review. Any opinion I've expressed is purely mine and based on my own personal experience using this drill.
