Types of Nail Bits for E-Filing 

Finally a great educational bit video! Thanks to much girly

PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON WHAT EFILE SYSTEM YOU RECOMMEND THE MOST AND WHICH CHEAP/BEGINNER ONES YOU RECOMMEND!!xxxxxxx

After spending big bucks on an e-file course, I kept searching the web for the correct information I needed. There you were with IT. Thank you so very much for explaining these basics.

Hi. I’m just starting out again after 30yr hiatus, so I’m trying to learn as much as I can. Your videos are brilliant. Very easy to follow and understand. Not too fast, not too slow. I’m able to pull out all my bits etc and see/understand exactly what you are talking about. Thank you for making a better me. Off to learn more about efiles and bits. Have a beautiful day 💕💅🏻💖

I’m so glad I watched this! I’m left handed and had no idea I needed left handed bits! Thanks so much

The meaning of the colors really helped... I was wondering what it meant... but that’s just one of the things I learned.... thank you

Lol.... E-files can't cut your leg off 😂😂😂. I mostly use gel right now so I'm really loving how ceramic bits file. I need to get more bits and a holder. Could you do a top ten bits for gel and for acrylic? Thank you Liz these videos are so informative. 💜💜💜

That is an amazing set of bits wow! Just ordered it, I always am loosing my bits lol....Yay, I'm glad you included left handed, I am a lefty

Saved up money to be able to purchase my first high quality professional drill in a few days so been looking at bit videos and this video has helped me so much! I was a little overwhelmed with all the different bits but now feel more confident about what bits I need. Know exactly what bits I need to get started with now. Your very good at teaching and explaining. Thanks so much for this!

This is probably my favourite video on RU-vid about electric file bits. I was actually never shown that tip about keeping the bit out from the base. Thank-you!

This is so interesting and informative! When I went to beauty school we were specifically told not to use e-files. They were too dangerous and hard to control. This was around 1996, so a long time ago. Gel nails wasn’t even a thing back thin. So your tutorials are a dream come true for me!

Clean and concise. I love the flow of your information. Absolutely love it. I've had this playing in the background a couple times. And I was able to pinpoint and go back just from what you were talking about. Subscribe!!!! Wow I mean you didn't just go to 12:00 3:00 6:00 9:00 you went minute by half hour by hour... Wow! Are you a teacher? Darling flawless. If you're not a teacher you are a teacher. Brava I'm sorry I got to check your personal information. I shouldn't even have to ask. I can't believe how information you are. Now there's others out there we've all watched them. You didn't miss a beat. I love that you had a visual for everything. And your details. Darling I'm a woman of details. I'm about to binge watch your channel. How is it that I've been on here watching nails for this long and I've never run into you. Which is another thing I need to check on how new are you. Doesn't matter you're awesome. Anyone that can be that concise and that detail oriented. You have my heart 💜

Doing my own nails and just started to use the e-file, watching your first 50sec and thought to myself noooo I have to have all those bits, then you mentioned your a junkie. The relief 😁😁

This is the best video ever made step by step , you speak very well and you sound so motivating. I am so excited to learn . !!!! Good luck everyone.

Another one for the hit parade, Liz! I wish I’d known this stuff a year ago when I started getting interested in doing my own nails. I couldn’t find information like this anywhere, so just bumbled around, and damaged my natural nails in the process. I’m gradually improving my techniques, thanks to you and a few others who are willing to share their knowledge. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

OMG your awesome!!!! I love your step by step videos. I was a cosmetology/ nail Pro when my kids were young, since retired and went into nursing- looooong story. But since Covid-19 with no nail salons open, it has forced me to re-examine doing my own gel nails. For the first time in a long time I have my own nails- not tips. So I am re- learning everything from you!! So again thank you. I am only going to be doing my nails. With your instructions- I know my real nails will look almost as good as the salon. I was an acrylic nail tec, Gel is a much different game..

HI Liz, I recently found your channel and really appreciate all the detailed, easy to understand tutorials. I am not a professional. To be honest, I haven’t done my own nails in more than 20 years! I was devastated when I couldn't go to my nail tech anymore (hope everyone is staying safe and healthy), but have been playing with my nails for the last however many weeks it’s been since COVID started. Since I’m not traveling to client sites I can do something different / try different products and techniques on each nail to practice. I’ve been wearing dip powder for the last several years and before that always had a no-chip gel manicure. I’m now am getting pretty good with doing my own dip. My biggest issue is getting the product around my cuticle even and as thin as I like it. I generally have always been opposed to efiles. After watching many of your videos I realize it’s most likely because, even though I trust my nail tech, I’ve had bad experiences and don’t have the control to make sure everything is done properly. I broke down and decided to try one and it’s on its way. I think the diamond bits are the best option for me. My question is how do know/what do I need to look for to make sure I’m buying a well-made, quality bit? Thanks!

Liz .. i guess you are a mind reader. I'm a beginner and i do really got confused by different bits. Now i know what is what, which is which 😅 Thank you sooooo much

Another awesome video..thanks so much for actually teaching us stuff that matters..I think your videos are one of the top educational channels out here..tyfs💞👍😁🎅🎁

I just truly appreciate how well you instruct educate and even advise using your past fallacy

I am very grateful that I can across your channel. I’ve decided to do my own nails at home. And your videos are very informative so that helps a lot.

This has to be THE most comprehensive video about drill bits.😁🙏🏼💛

I can’t thank you enough for your thorough detailed videos. I am soakin up all the education your videos are giving me, I just love how detailed you are. Thank you for all the time you put into all your videos.

Awesome video! Thanks for talking about left handed bits,I'm left handed and never thought much about this,doh! Great educational video which will help so many people so thanks!

Liz, I'm a lefty and have a hard time finding left handed bits, so I feel limited when it comes to purchasing the ones that work both ways, am I over thinking that if I have left handed bits my e-filing will be more productive. I'm just a beginner on e-filing and practice daily to improve, but once I start to use my e-file on someone else I would love to have the proper bits, for use. COULDN'T you please send me in the right direction on finding these bits ? I'm loving this series on efiling and learning alot Thank you for putting this out there for everyone to have this knowledge it's very important..

please make a getting started basics vid for new nail techs 😩

This has been a huge struggle for me finding left handed bits, so glad you've addressed this, will be ordering from the nail hub, thankyou again as always providing a great educational video Liz!

Like shaving our legs....Love it! You are such a proficient educator! Thank you for the clear explanations, good instructions and general etiquette, that is rare! Wish you were in the UK x

Hi first of all thanks for another great and very informative video. I love watching your channel as you don’t talk fast and are very clear spoken where a lot of channels are broken English, muffled or they talk extremely fast. This makes it very hard to watch especially being someone who is hard of hearing and likes to make sure they can follow and understand exactly what is being shown or explained. I also wanted to (in case you or anyone else is unaware of) let you know that when you are talking about the length of bits and how far is best etc that (and this comes from experience and learning from my husband who works with machinery including bits) that be careful of how far out you place your bits, as placing them too far out can create wobble or vibration in the shaft, this can make job application uneven, unsteady, uncomfortable and in some cases unsafe for you or your client. It can also case the shaft to snap and fly off, yes this can happen at anytime no matter what but insuring you don’t have your bit too far out from the machine hand piece will help minimise this from happening. While it can be difficult to work with a shorter shaft length, only have your shaft placed at 3/4-1” maximum. Please no one think I am trying to be a know it all, I am definitely not, I am new to this industry myself but not to working with certain tools that use this type of technology, and just want to help other be aware of this. After all we all want to make sure that having our nails or doing others nails is done in the best, most comfortable and safest manner for all involved. Thank You again for a great video and I always keep watch for your new videos. PS I am not sure if you have done one or not but I am trying to learn about the difference between product types, Acrylic Powders: white, pink, clear, acrylic colour, etc, Gels: soft, hard, bio, sculpting etc, Polygels: tubes, tubs etc, Gel Polishes: bottles, tubs etc, Dipping Systems: colour only, acrylic x colour etc, Use of each type in combination with other if possible: Polygel with acrylic, hard gel with polygel, etc, what can be mixed and matched including colours etc. And how to remove colour polishes from Acrylic, Polygel, Gel nails other than nail file or drill without melting or ruining the product underneath so can change to another colour or design before refill etc is needed to save time and money for both client and oneself having to completely reapply entirely. If you have or know of anyone who has done any video on these subjects already could you please point me in the right direction with links? Or if you haven’t or don’t know of any would be fantastic if you could cover them in up and coming vids. Thanks again and I look forward to your next tutorial.

You are such a good teacher. Thank you for your videos.

Great information I had no idea what the different colors meant. This is a very informative video. I loved you tip on not putting the shaft all the way in.

Im a beginner and this video helped me out tremendously! Thank you so much 😊 🙌🏽

That was so informative I absolutely loved it! Thank you so much for your time and commitment to putting this together!

These videos are helping me so much. I’m doing my own nails at home since Covid and I’m learning a lot.

Thanks so much for your clear speaking when teaching us about bits. This video is great!

Wow I'm Loving this video! I am the biggest bit junky ever! I get probably three new ones every month LOL I can't stop! So that being said, I hate mandrills and I hate seeing them be used on natural Nails though I really do, probably from my personal experience of being out of salon and then burning me with it every effin time😖....not to mention in my personal opinion I think they take off too much nail through the prep even with the smoothest band. Definitely personal preference, to each their own. My mandrel sucks! I did try getting back into using the sanding bands but I swear once you go ceramic or carbide theres no going back.. I mainly hate my mandrel because of how it refuses to hold my sanding band on, and either spends and flames off oar stops. And my nail gel is not the problem. thanks for the great video it's definitely a great refresher for someone like me who left the nail business for several years and definitely useful for newbies! You are a wonderful straight Ford teacher, I would hate to see that talent and education go to waste, I hope you do get paid to educate as well as being so kind as to share your knowledge for free on here.

I’m a new Subscriber to your channel and I absolutely love it you take the time to explain everything in with e-filing I could really use the heads up thanks again and I’ll be watching you ever so often

I was just wondering, I'm right handed but I mainly only do my own nails. Should I be looking for right and left-handed bits to do my other hand?

Wonderful, informative, educational and entertaining. Loved the chainsaw analogy. Thank you

Great content! If you decide come to Brazil eventually, please, let me know. I'd love to atend to your classes. Thaks for the amazing work!

Again. Loved this!!! Im having trouble with removing cuticle with bits and i tend to leave ring of fire. :( after i watched your video, now i know why. :) i cant wait for your next week video, i really want to know which bits are the best to remove the cuticle safely without leaving ring of fire. :)

Great educational video on bits. I'm not a nail technician but wanted to use bits on myself at home. thanks.

Thanks for the explanation. You made the concept easy to understand. You are the best

WOW, thank you. This video explained SO much very efficiently!

For a beginner I learn so much from you! Thanks.

Gracias! Excellent and informative tutorial!

I find your videos so helpful & informative for beginners like me. Thank you so much!

I love that you go over every single little detail. Thank you so very much.

ive ordered from you before but never seen the bit binder book ... snagged one up! ive been looking one for awhile ty for having ... and i always love to refresh what bits are for sometimes you get stuck with using just certain ones and forget what others do so good to refresh

What a great and thorough video! Thank you!

I totally love 💓 your videos. They are so detailed, so clear and so nicely paced that you could legit get out a notepad pen 😀. Thank you so much 😊

Very thorough teaching....I clearly got this. Thank you!

Very good video, I'm just starting out and ordered a lot of nail supplies. This was very helpful. Thank you.

Pulling out the bit is genius!! I’ve been trying to figure out how to file a long nail but I always shove the bit in all the way. Thank you!

These videos give me a reason to look forward to a monday xD

I love the chain saw analogy

This is brilliant. This is how I clean my bits with barbicide. Should I be using an autoclave as well? Thanks!

Your videos are the best ! They are full of great information that isn’t found anywhere else. I’m binge watching all of them. Where can I get your e-file ? It’s so quiet and blue is my favorite color also ?

this was so great to watch and learn from! thank you for taking the time to make this!

I put off using my efile for more than a year because I was looking for an educational video like this! I really appreciate your work, thanks!!!

Best channel ever... I JUST LOVE how much I learn with u... saludos desde México

OMG 😱 Where did you get that bit case/holder 😍 I so need that. Phrase do tell 🙏 Great instructional video 😃 one of my faves so far. You're so awesome. Thank you bunches 💗

Are there books you can buy that explains everything you are going over? Thanks for all of the great info! 👍🏾🙏🏾

Excellent Video for Nail bit use.

Thank you so much for this Fundamentals serie!

Awesome video! Very informative. As usual, I always look forward to your videos on Monday’s and have learned a lot from watching them ☺️ quick question, you said there are disadvantage and advantages to using ceramic bits. What are those? Also, do you recommend using diamond bits over ceramic?

Hi! I was wondering how the ceramic bits hold up in comparison to the carbide bits. I thought that "carbide" referred to the type of metal (very strong). My understanding now is that "carbide" just refers to a bit with larger flutes. Is that correct? You are a very good teacher. Great with details, and very thorough. Thank you for your videos!

This is so helpful! I'm getting an e-file soon and this helped so much. Thank you!

Amazing tutorials! You have a gift for teaching. Thank you so very much!

You explain everything so simple and detailed!! Love your videos and thanks for all this knowledge you share with us😍😊

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼… very informative, super educational…a must use! Video thank you 👌🏼❤️💕

Thanks for this. Finally bought myself a nice one. Worth about 120 Canadian. I had trouble finding a class like structure course. Thanks for this because Ive yet to find one that shows all the bits. YNs is only using their tools which I think is ridiculous considering theres such a variety. NCEs video is just all over the place.

Thank you so much for this video, it has been the most helpful one I have found yet, I finally have a good understanding. You are a great educator :)

Thank you for sharing this information. Now I can’t wait to see next weeks video 😍♥️🌵

OMG the chainsaw comparison 😂 same as you can chop off a finger with a good Kitchen knife. 🙄 Can't wait for the exercises and next week video !😊😊😊 Your Informations are SO good you should have a Chain of Authorized/Recognized School in every state , so we can actually learn something while getting our School certificate to get our licenses in usa 😂 ❤️

Such a helpful video. This is the best series ever.

Loved this comprehensive education about nail bits. Thank you so much for this video x

"there's also a different shaft length so let me just put these two balls together".... oh my. 😅

I have watched this video twice! It's packed full of information, thank you!!!!!!

Thank u so much for perfectly explaining all this well said ❤

Hey could you do a video about gel nail pot brands that anyone can buy? Many I’ve seen need a license, so it would be pretty cool to know some good brands that I can get too!

So if you are right handed and you are doing the left hand, do you just switch the direction you are filing in? I’m actually left handed but I do everything but write with my right hand. I tried removing gel polish from my right hand and I ended up digging into my nails and now my nail bed is super thin causing my nails to crack all the time and my nail bed is discolored a bit. Can you tell that I’m still learning? Yikes!😬

Love all of your video contents.. very informative.. xx

Thank you. I would like to know more of the pros and cons of ceramics.

Thank you!!! Sooo informative, I definitely learnt a lot. I can't wait for next week.

I'm new to your channel and I love your content 🥰. Would you do a video on how you disinfect your bits and stuff please. Like things to not use vs things that you recommend.

always amazing quality content, Liz!

Another great video Liz! Thanks for all you do! 😘💅🏆

Thank you Liz, this has been such useful info. Love your channel.

Wow such a awesome video on bits

It’s so similar to my Dremel bits. The bands are the exact same but I haven’t found any excess glue on mine. I wouldn’t recommend using a Dremel on nails if you haven’t worked with one a lot.

First time watching your videos!! Very detailed when your explaining, very helpful thank you! I am subscribed 🙂

and thank you for education on bits great help

Awesome video, very helpful.

Another ideal video! Thanks! I love the video! Please continue!

Can you do a review on bits bought o amazon for non professionals? Please. Or maybe you already have and I cant find it

Awesome Video, thank you so much for a great lesson.

Excellent I've learnt a lot, love your videos, many thanks.

I am using nail bits on my dogs paws to remove excess hyperkeratosis. She is taking antbiotics and I use many creams specifically for pet paws and with contents that discourage infection. I vary it as who knows what helps most. I use a glysolid (glycerin), Sulfodene for dogs, and occasionally Solva-Ker Gel (nail bits generall are doing better than the Gel). I am on my 2nd drill as the first one kept stopping and my newest one uses standard bits 3/32 and trying to learn which will take off the most dead surface cells with the least heat. Diamond or carbide. If this doesn't work I must manually shave with a safety razer. Any recommendation. This video leads me to believe need a diamond pretty course and a carbide . All probably green or red. 6 metal bits came with and quite a few sanding bands. I will try to learn the kind of metal they are. They are working well, but I expect those bits to wear out.

I love your video.
