20 Best Nail Drills For Acrylic Nails (2024 Update)

So this is the Melody Susie Sheen Nail Drill. I ordered this in 2019. 5 STARS y'all!! It gets all five stars from me because it's just that good and still works as it did the day I bought it, 3 years ago. My bf loves for me to do his nails with this 😆 (he's a diva too). First thing I noticed when I unboxed it is it doesn't feel light, plastic-y and cheap. It has a "for professionals" feel to it. You may not know what I mean but you'll see once you order one. It works so good y'all! It comes with 6 drill bits and a case for storage, 6 sanding bands of diff grit levels, a baggie of sanding bands, user manual, the actual electric drill, and the power cord. The drill has two spins: clockwise and counter, plus it has a dial to go fast or slower. And the best part, it does an awesome job! I can't even fit everything I want to say in this review. I store mines in this cute little Victoria Secrets bag and everything fits perfectly. I highly recommend you add this to your nail kits.ashley.s

I absolutely love this drill. The weight, color, and portability are amazing! It’s so pretty! I’m a beginner and it’s so easy to use. I can’t wait to get the matching LED lamp!! My photos don’t do it justice. Such a beautiful color. Came with everything in my photos. Only down side which isn’t that big of a deal or worth a return or exchange. The drill handle has a small scratch over the KS and the LCD screen has a dark spot on the top right but both aren’t that noticeable and don’t effect the use of the drill.Megan W.

I'm a licensed nail tech and I've always wanted this specific e-file from Kiara Sky but couldn't justify the price at the time. I believe I got this during their 20% entire site sale. Don't get me wrong, despite 20% off, it was still expensive but BOY DOES THIS WORK LIKE A DREAM. It's super quiet, powerful, and low maintenance. I was actually missing a piece in this kit but after reaching out to customer service, the piece was replaced quickly and I was able to sculpt nails right away.Jane L.

My drill arrived on Monday June 6th, 2022. I am blown away. This drill is awesome! There is absolutely no vibration and even at 35,000 there is almost no noise. I've tried many nail drill in the 22 years I've been doing my own nails. From the lower priced ones on Amazon ro more expensive brands like Medicool, iGel and Nail Genie. Yours is by far superior to any brand I've tried. I use your acrylic system and your gel polishes. They never disappoint Thanks!!.Lee H.

I haven’t had the opportunity to try a ton of nail drills, but as they go, this one is pretty good.  if you are looking to stay on the cheaper side of things, but still want a great working, professional grade nail drill, this is the nail drill for you. It’s Rechargeable, portable design makes for easy use. I am actually very happy with this product.kristen .k

The reason I did not give it more stars is because I have only tried it once and those tools are very pointed and you should really be focused on that when using them.Betty

I love it, I got tired of going to salons only to have my nails messed up and paying for it! This tool has me doing my own mani pedis at home with a salon look. The tools file, smooth, etc., and I love the pink color, my fave! Cannot recommend enough.Gretchen

Excellent product. Just as described. Very detailed manual for use. Love that I do not need to go to salon. Just what I needed.SharonS

I love the machine it works very well. no need to visit the nail salon anymore with this nail file machine you will have the perfect manicure and pedicure.midijoh

amazing helps me practice my nails with perfect smoothness. Absolutely loving it!! I can’t wait to use it for more of my nail creation adventures. It was really affordable as well for a great drill.chelsea.c

This wonderful manicure/pedicure set was well thought-out to include just about everything you might need. It comes with a cloth zippered case and has form fitting places in the form of a plastic insert which holds the device and all of the accessories neatly. The plastic insert can be removed if you prefer. The case retains its shape if you remove the insert. The inside lid of the case has a mesh pocket where you can keep the power cord and the manual. The case does not have a handle. In the case: Power cord with a micro USB end to charge up the device, Dust shield, 10 attachments, and a User Guide. No plug for the cord. The attachments are: Sapphire cone – to remove dry skin and calluses from feet and manicures the toenails. Coarse Sapphire wheel – Files nails quickly Fine Sapphire wheel – Files nails. Finer than the coarse wheel to file more gently and slowly Felt cone – For buffing and polishing Cylindrical Grinder – Grinds and smooths toenails Pointed Grinder – Removes ingrown toenails. Small for precise use. Round Sapphire Grinder – Removes corns. Use carefully. Needle-shaped Cutter – Precision tool. Used on ingrown nails or parts of dead nails. Fine Sapphire callus file – Removes calluses on the soles and heel of the feet. Crystal callus file – Use on thick, hard skin or large calluses on soles or heel. Charge up your device for about 3 hours before your first use and the charge should last about 2 hours according to the manual. You have to have your device turned off to charge it. It will flash red and green if it isn’t. It will flash with 3 blue lights if everything is OK. When the 3 blue lights are solid, it is charged. The power button on the device has 3 positions. Up, Middle, and Down. Down turns the attachment counter-clockwise and you will see a red light. Up turns the attachment clockwise and you will see a green light. The middle position is off. I thought I would not need to change the device from clockwise to counterclockwise and back again, but I found myself changing it while I was working to make it easier, so I see why this feature was included. The plus and minus buttons on the device control the speed. There are 3 speed settings. The instructions say to always start at the lowest speed and only increase the speed if needed. I never used it any faster. I thought the slowest setting was more than adequate. There is an automatic switch-off after 20 minutes. I like that the device is cordless, because I was holding it at all sorts of different angles to do my pedicure. Nail dust was flying everywhere so I attached the Dust Shield to keep it from flying up in my face. It worked great for that. It doesn’t catch the dust. It just protects it from getting it in your eyes or accidentally breathing it in. There is an LED light. If you use one of the larger attachments, it will block the light from shining where you are working. Also it was too difficult to try to always keep the light on the area I was working. I did use it though. I would stop for a second and shine the light on the spot to better see how it was looking. My First Pedicure with the Beurer: I started out using the coarse sapphire wheel on my toenails. That quickly got them filed down. I switched to the Fine Sapphire wheel to smooth the edge and “fine tune" my nail filing. Next, I used the Sapphire cone to remove my cuticles from my toenails and to decrease some of the slight thickness of the nails on my great toes. Then I switched to the Pointed Grinder to get the cuticles at the corners and to fine tune any cuticles that I had missed, as well as getting the corners of my great toe nails. I followed that up with the Felt cone to buff my toenails. I used both the Fine Sapphire Callus file and the Sapphire Cone on calluses and dry skin on my feet. I really loved the sapphire cone and how it made my rough skin feel baby smooth. I used the Sapphire Cone mostly for that. You do not have to use a lot of pressure for the attachments to work. In fact, very little pressure will be much safer while providing excellent results. Also use the attachments in circular movements, except when shortening the nails. At first, I was trying to keep my feet positioned over a small waste basket, but dust was flying everywhere, so I ended up sitting on a bath mat and letting the dust fall onto the mat, which is easily washable, or can be vacuumed. Before retirement, I was an RN and often took care of diabetics, including their foot nail care. I would have loved to have had this tool. I feel with proper use (not too much pressure and using circular motions) it would be very suitable for them with minimal risk. When I was working, only an RN was allowed to do the nail care on a diabetic’s feet. The reason for this was because of the risk of injury using the sharp cutting tools that were the only things available at the time. I mention this only to emphasize the importance of being extraordinarily careful when doing pedicure care on diabetics. I really MarilynB

Save time & money while keeping your nails neatly trimmed. The Beurer Nail Pro Premium electric manicure/pedicure set is one of those devices that you don’t realize you need, or will even use until you get it and use it. For years I have been using nail clippers and a metal or cardboard nail file to trim my fingernails and toenails. It all seemed to be suffice and simple enough in which I saw no need to have a professional manicure or pedicure. But after using the Beurer Electric Manicure and Pedicure set, I realize that this is a much more simpler and more effective way to trim my nails. Often times I have hang and or uneven nails that catch on to my clothes and other items and can cause great pain if snagged in the wrong way; but now I can quickly smooth my nails and keep them trimmed with very little effort. This device is cordless, runs on an included reachable battery, and easy to use. It takes about three hours to charge and can run for about two hours before a new charge is needed. The designed shape makes it easy to grip and hold in one hand and difficult to drop. It comes with a lot of attachments that can be effectively used on your nails to keep them looking neatly trimmed. It also has a movable plastic guard to prevent shaved skin and nails from popping in your eyes or mouth when in use. It has an onboard light that directly illuminates the area where you are using it. It comes with everything you need to take good care of your finger and toe nails. It is fast and powerful, and allows for speed adjustments by simply touching the plus or minus button. It moves in either direction, in which you control utilizing the onboard switch. It has a color coded LED display which is a helpful in displaying activity during use. It is painless and leaves your nails looking smooth and well manicured. When not in use, you can store it in the provided carrying case so that everything is neatly kept together. The Beurer Nail Pro Premium electric nail care set allows you to take excellent care of your nails at a fraction of the cost. In most instances, using this once or twice will pay for itself, if you already have your nails done professionally.BiggVikk

I love this product! I had to say goodbye to the nail salon during the past 18 months due to the pandemic, and I was in dire need of a new pedicure set. I used to own an electric nail care set and it was a good one that lasted for several years, but since it was powered by electricity, I always had to be tethered to the electrical outlet which was not always convenient. This one is rechargeable and has many other nice features as well. One of the overall design features that I like the best is that the Nail Pro Premium by beurer of Germany comes in a nice zip case along with everything you need to groom your nails, whether you need a manicure or a pedicure. The product is of a high-quality design and comes with 10 different sapphire and felt attachments that seem to meet all needs for nail care of manicuring or pedicures. It comes with a dust shield that fits neatly over any of the attachments and has an LED light that illuminates during use. The Nail Pro Premium charges easily with a micro-USB cable and needs to be charged for three (3) hours before the first use. It seems to hold that charge quite well and last up to about two (2) hours of use for each three (3) hours of charge. There is a speed control of three (3) speeds, and a control to make the attachments rotate in either direction. The unit is ergonomic and fits well in the hand which makes it easier to control and do detail work. The cordless operation also allows for more movement of use while using the device for either a manicure or a pedicure. I love how it works so well and then neatly packs back into its zip case where it is all contained for the next use. It only weighs 4.69 ounces so it can easily be packed in your travel case for an extended trip. The Nail Pro Premium comes with a limited lifetime warranty for the original owner of the product. I haven’t seen another this neatly designed or organized that has the power of this particular product. I definitely recommend it if you need a nail care system. I am very pleased with this one.SwigglesMilam

This product is really good only tried it one day it works really fast and it is powerful I would improve the product by making it metal like the batteryalonie.m

I probably could have used a 4 step ladder rather than a 3 stepper but that was my mistake, not the supplier's. The instruction sheet was almost useless since the parts listing was in English and the actual instructions were in both Chinese and French, not English. I was able to install it by looking at the pictures in conjunction with the parts list. Fortunately, It was not very complicated, although I had to buy large wood screws to complete the installation (anchoring the ladder to the dock). I was aware of the need to buy screws for that purpose and all of the other necessary was included. So far the pontoon/dock ladder is working as expected so I have no complaints post purchase & installation.ronfo_79

This item was a replacement item for one that I broke.I dropped that handle and bent the tip which is a N0-No as it would not hold the burrs straight and they wobbled.The handle was deemed completely useless. It is almost as expensive to replace the tip if you can find one as it is to purchase a new unit.Since the unit belonged to someone else who was working in the shop. and it was part of her 34lively hood34 that I had destroyed, I bought her a new unit.She uses it every day in her work.She is very pleased with my purchase from Amazon..Barbara

nbspThis is my third one . They all work good. Good quality! Highly recommend!I m professional nail artist.This is good mode when you working on different places.My first one still working good .I was worried the battery , I soon found that this concern was unnecessary. Powerful battery life. I don’t need to recharge it about 3 weeks.And it only need 1hr for recharge.Shu

I just started doing my own nails so Im learning trial & error but this works really well. I like that it has all of the different bits. Makes doing my nails a lot faster & helps a lot.jenne-mai-0

This is a perfect beginner efile!!! Was hesitant at first. But it works great!!! I'm just starting out doing nails and this works perfect! I have used this file.on acrylics, polygel, and dipping powders and it works great for all 3!ashleejessie

Sometimes buying cheap is more expensive. Speed adjuster is not the best. Don’t get me wrong is doing it’s job NOW because it’s new but I don’t think it’s going to last long . Now I’m stuck deviating if should return it , or just see how long my money will last .Zz

This is the worst drill on the market for convenient nail drills. I waited patiently for this to come and when it did let me tell. Let’s point out the first fact that the cord isn’t as long as they describe at all, the Emory pieces are very weak and collapse from the slightest compression, the drill is so weak my 90yr old grandmother could use this with absolutely no harm. My vibrator has more power than this drill. It’s not worth the money at all and the marketing information is false for the product. The reviews have to be made up because there is no way this device is rated a 4 out of 5. It’s a joke! Definitely sending back immediately!Shauna

This is my second medicool file. My first one was bought second hand. Its been good to me for 10 years with regular handpiece maintenance. It will probably be my go to file as long as the company exists. This is a second file for my home business.For the record it comes with a grey handpiece cradle, the purple is my personal one. I recommend medicool hands down. Easy to change bits and the perfect weight handpiece, IMOamandazing

Has great power, had two of them now and with light use since 2015 both of the drills will not lock/release the bits. Blew them off as recommended. To expensive for what you get. Can buy similar electric files 5 times less. I do not recommend this for nail clients.Jerry

3 1/2 stars from me. Its ok but the Kupa UP200 is better, even though the Kupa is only 20,000rpms it doesnt overheat unlike the Medicool. The medicool over heats and the hand piece although light in weight is bulky in my hand because of the mechanism that allows you to change the carbide bits protrudes out a little bit. The Kupas handpeice is a bit heavier but it is more stream lined and made to be sturdier and doesnt overheat. The medicool is compact but still does not beat the Kupa. I am a professional nail technician, if my job requires me to do several acrylic nails fills or full sets in a row then I need something that wont heat up and get hot in my hand. I will be returning this as soon as I can and just shell out 150ish more for the Kupa. I own a medicool pro power pack that is rechargeable and though that the electric file for the table would be just as good, it is not. My portable power pack is better then this except it needs to be recharged which was why I bought the one for the table. I have included my coworkers Kupa and the medicool for comparasion. In our work stations there are holes in it so we can put our hand pieces in and mine does not fit in it but hers does, hence the reason why I say the medicools hand piece is bulky and not streamlined.TZE-LE

From the great carrying case to keep everything organized and the product itself, totally worth it, works really well for what I will use it for.BreeH

A gift for my wife. She appreciates the portability of it and the very good battery life. Much better than the one she had from Amazon.Ov17

This product is very convenient and high quality. The product is easy to use and understand, along with how wonderful the performance is. I enjoy having the different varieties of tools to use, and also how high quality each is. As an amateur nail-‘doer’ myself, it help a lot that this comes with instructions on how to use each tool! I also like the feature of how you change the speed of it and that there is a light so you what you are doing. All in all, this product is super useful and, well, amazing!Frenchy

I was hesitant to purchase this, but since there were no nail salons open, I decided to give it a shot. This exercise is effective. It's powerful enough to do a fantastic job on your nails. The buffer and the cuticle bit appeal to me. It thoroughly cleans the cuticle area while causing little damage or discomfort.Jeanette

salon quality. I've never used a machine like this before so it's going to take some time to get used to handling it. It's hard to file with my non dominant hand. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who loves to do nails at home. The tips are high quality and it comes with a bag of extra sanding bits. I'm glad I bought this.Andy

I do my own gel nails at home. Unfortunately, taking off gel polish requires patience if you don't want to damage your nails, and I dread the amount of time it takes. I purchased this drill hoping that I could sand away the top layers of the gel polish and get the remaining polish to soak off quicker. I am happy to say that it exceeded my expectations!!Adriano
