    Were you drilling your real nail or acrylic's? Because if your drilling your real nails would it not be bad for them...? I'm confused :S

  • wmcnair370 says:

    They are drilling the acryrlic, not the nail. The drill never goes deep enough to get to the nailbed.

  • alqoshgirl says:

    OMG I didn't know they drill it! never been at a proffesional...
    isn't this bad for your nails? and doesn't it hurt?

  • nailzoo says:

    The e file gives a very sharp smile line, it should never be needed on the natural nail

  • MissAffliction says:

    Ok, so is the effect the e drill gives any better or worse then what a file gives you?? From my understanding the reason for it on the natural nails is to give the acrylic something to adhere to correct?

  • nailzoo says:

    missaffliction, it depends on professionalism, not price.
    But chain salons are the ones to avoid, they only care about your money, not your nails

  • MissAffliction says:

    I'm guessing you are calling "cheap shops" the ones where you pay 25 bucks and get a full set right? Nonetheless, I have been to a more pricey salon, and they did NOT use the drill at all... they used a file

  • nailzoo says:

    MIssAffliction, you have obviously never had a decent technician.
    Stop going to cheap salons and pay a crafted professional that knows what they are doing.

    People bitch about damage, but they go to cheap salons ...... if you pay peanuts (you often get monkies).

  • MissAffliction says:

    I HATE THAT DAMN DRILL! I don't care what anyone says, it EATS NAILS!!!!

  • kim18694 says:

    ur great so talented

  • anBanBan says:

    I have acrylic nails to, and I love them :)

  • hwiseman says:

    Make-up looks fake as well but if done well, it's a beautiful look. Nails are no different. I agree with you. Some people like the dramatically perfected look. I do too.

  • nailzoo says:

    i'm filing old acrylic, not natural nail.
    You don't feel a thing when it's done correctly

  • ladiesluncheon says:

    wow that looks like it would hurt!!

  • borinquenbella says:

    I like all your videos. Im a nail tech and I dont like those exagerated smileline, they look toooo fake.

  • Kribasoft says:

    I am on Doia's side by the smilelines...
    My clients loves the dramatic look, and they dont think it is fake look.
    With a right technic and with right materials you can make natural looking nails with a happy smileline.
    btw, what the client want, that is the first. But! I make it, so it will looks like, when I want.

  • nailzoo says:

    doimailbox, your comments are cool,but you have to understand, some clients prefer a less fake look, the dramtic smileline you speak of, is a dead giveaway for fake nails, howmany peoples natural smile line plunges down the side like those "typical" fake nails you see. Creating a more natural look make them ........ umm,more natural looking

  • doiamailbox says:

    sorry English is my second language (nails is my 1st, lol) I don't believe that the way, but rather than a way. I'm so glad that it work for you....
    Carl, much respect for you willingness to help other, I just use to see a little more curve here in the US.... Clients is always right, if that what she than that what she get..... sorry if I offended you..:)

  • pox04 says:

    I like this method better than the one you posted, doia. And it's BARELY not berly - and Smile, not MILE. What country are you from?

  • nailzoo says:

    my "mile" line huh
    guess when it doesn't plunge down the sides, that may make it a little more natural looking, some prefer that look, this client did

  • doiamailbox says:

    your mile line is not very happy, I can berly see a curve.
    Thanks for sharing.

  • Xuxkina says:

    Very well done, i like all your videos. I'm a nail tech and would like to buy a good e file, what brand do you suggest? Are the ones from China & Hong Kong good ones? Thanks!

  • Xuxkina says:

    What is the material of the bits?
    Thanks, Xuxkina

  • jerradona says:

    I'm a nail tech and this is neither torture nor nail art, this is just filing a nail, i use manual nail files but i'm interested in buying an electric file as it's more easy, well done for this video!!

  • KaraBohigian says:

    wow you make everything look so easy! is you drill bit coarse, medium or fine?

    and yea this is nowhere near the nailplate. plenty o' acrylic still left on there!
