 It is highly recommended for DIY nail lovers

Compared with manually operated nail grinding rod, the efficiency of the nail grinding machine is much faster, up to three times, and the experience and technology of the nail grinding machine will be lower than the requirements of the nail grinding rod, so it is very recommended to buy and use for those who love nail DIY.

 Purchase points of nail grinding machine

Choose a style that matches your habits

Nail grinding machines are roughly divided into two categories, handheld and desktop.

Personal use scenarios such as at home, considering whether the operation is convenient and whether the storage occupies space and other issues, first recommend a relatively small size of the handheld nail grinder.
Among them, in addition to the wired style that needs to be connected to the socket, there are some wireless nail grinding machines that are more convenient to carry around and do not need to be plugged in, which is especially suitable for travel and business trips and can be carried without space restrictions.

However, it should be noted that the use of battery-powered models of nail grinding is relatively weak, if you want to improve efficiency, you can choose to charge.

The desktop nail polish machine is the first choice for professional nail polish.

The desktop model powered by the adapter consumes a lot of power, so the output energy is high, and the maximum speed can even reach 25,000 RPM; It is also relatively stable when running, and some models can even control the current speed by the mark on the knob, or increase or decrease the speed by the foot pedal.

Although the larger size and high performance will inevitably reflect the price, but if you want to create your own gel nails and use nail art, you can still refer to it.

Pay attention to the number and type of grinding head

The accessories that directly contact the nails installed in the front end of the nail grinder are called the grinding head, and the grinding head is mainly responsible for polishing the nails, sorting out the dead skin or polishing the nails.

The type and number of grinding head assembled by each grinding machine are somewhat different, and what kind of grinding head to choose can first figure out your specific needs and select a targeted style.

Remove nail painting: apply cylindrical grinding head, sanding band is more hygienic

The cylindrical grinding head is generally used to remove the paint on the nail, and most nail grinding machine products on the market will come with this accessory.
If used in a special nail salon, taking into account health and safety issues, some styles will provide sanding bands that can be installed on the grinding head, which can be thrown away directly after each use to reduce health risks.

If it is for personal use, it is a personal choice whether to install sanding bands.

Dead skin treatment: Use a drop shaped grinding head, or a cone

This step of removing dead skin in the nail step may sometimes hurt the skin due to improper use of the machine, so it is recommended to have a curved drop shape or conical grinding head, and the curved grinding head is more gentle when touching the skin, and it is easier for beginners to operate.

The angled tip of the cone allows for deep contact with nail crevices to improve efficiency. However, it is also necessary to pay attention to the strength and contact position in use to avoid accidentally harming the skin, and it is recommended for people with a little nail art experience to use.

Other needs

In addition to the above two main needs, the nail grinding machine can also do exfoliating and other nail dressing, the corresponding grinding head is also different, slightly different. You can read the instructions in detail before you start to operate.

The required speed depends on the application

The nail grinder grinds the nails by rotating, so the speed of the machine also greatly affects the effect of use. It is recommended to determine the speed range of the nail grinder before purchasing.

Most of the speed will be calculated in “RPM”, and the faster the model, the more challenging the user’s operating skills. For beginners, a 10,000-rpm machine is enough. For nail professionals, the speed of the nail grinding machine can generally be as high as about 20,000-25000 RPM.

It should be noted that when dealing with dead skin, it is easy to damage the skin because the grinding force is too strong when using the machine at high speed, and the minimum speed of the machine is at least 3000 RPM.

 The metal body is more stable and durable

The main body of nail grinding machines sold on the market are plastic and metal.

The plastic nail grinder is lighter in long-term use and is not easy to tire hands, but if the high speed mode is turned on, it will be more difficult to accurately control. And it is not suitable for use in quiet scenes, because the operating sound of this model can reach about 70dB.

The metal nail grinding machine is relatively heavy and more stable, and the vibration is not easy to pass to the hand during operation, causing fatigue. It is also more impact-resistant and suitable for high-speed models with more intense vibration. Its operating sound is only 40-55dB, which is relatively more suitable for use in quiet occasions.

The invention of the nail polish machine follows the trend of demand for fast and effective manicure results. After all, it is an electric product, and it is likely to be injured because of improper operation in use.

According to the purpose of treating dead skin, trimming nails, etc., the corresponding grinding head is inserted on the body.

Be careful not to let the grinding head scratch the nail when it is turned off. When it is running, gently wipe the force and move the grinding head in the same direction on the nail.
