Review on 💜 PANA USA 3/32” Purple Tornado Carbide Nail Drill Bit - Efficient Acrylic and Hard Gels Remover Tool for Professional Manicure and Pedicure - Medium Speed by Lydia Rodriguez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reduces the time to pour acrylic along with the top layer!

I chose this tip because it looks exactly like the tip recommended by Eliabeth Morris of The Nail Hub. I chose a medium finish because as a newbie to buffing my own nails I have a decent collection of fine brushes that I gain confidence with and a couple of coarse brushes that are sold with them that I'm (still) hesitant to buy use . I wanted something more aggressive than a sandpaper mandrel and less prone to clogging. Using this tool to remove acrylic (a type of dipping powder) makes using the mandrel with sandpaper like trying to clean fine china with a fire hose. This drill leaves a thin, precise strip of the removed surface product. It can be moved in any direction regardless of the forward/backward setting. It is intuitive and consistent in its behavior on the nail. Not since picking up my grandmother's cast iron heirloom skillet has I been so relieved to have found a tool that perfectly suits me. Constant use has reminded me that as the nail grows, the anchor point of the acrylic layers gets further and further from the correct spot along the nail bed, eventually approaching the end of the finger and becoming an active hazard to the nail, not a protection enhancer. The top layer of acrylic needs to be scraped off and a new layer of greater strength applied in the right place. Using a sandpaper or hand finish mandrel, this process took up to an hour per nail, and that's obviously how it should work by now! Nobody would repeat this 10 times in a row, let alone every time the color change sounds nice. With this bit, my first application took about ten minutes per nail, including prepping the cuticle area and sanding everything down. Elevators with other bits. I didn't pin down the buffing time exactly, but it was definitely less than 5 minutes per nail. I'm new to this and pretty clumsy at it, so being able to shave 50 minutes a nail just by switching tools is pretty much a revelation. This, but as someone with very preliminary new skills who only paid half what I've paid entire collections of others for this single bit, I find this a fantastic improvement and would recommend it to anyone of my skill level. .
