How to File, Shape, and Buff Acrylic Nails with an E-file

Ann Chang shows how to file and shape nails using an electric nail file (the KUPA Mani Pro Passport E-File) combined with some hand-filing to speed up your services. Instead of buffing the nails by hand, she uses the same sanding band that she used to prep the nail and a low e-file speed (around 8,000 rpm) to buff the acrylic nail. #nailsmagazine

What a gem! I bought an e-file at the beginning of covid and have been doing my best to achieve salon-quality mani -- this video is going to take my DIY manis to the next level. So helpful!

I love Ann Chang! She’s such a great instructor. Everything she says is valuable information that’s easy to follow without getting a bunch of extraneous details that confuses you.

So helpful starting this as a hobby since I draw/paint my bf suggested getting into nails I just ordered everything so excited to embark on my new journey. Thanks so much .

Extremely helpful and to the point video! I wish I could’ve gained these tips at the beginning of my nail journey. I had to take a break because I got burned out from filing too hard + excessively on acrylic. Beginner nail techs, take it easy on yourself when you file these shapes and use the tips above!!

Out of all the videos of nails I watch no one has gotten into depth with this and you did I learned more from you just watching this 8 min video

I like how you broke that down. I'ma try using my sanding band for a little bit instead of the buffer like you did. This does save time. Thanks love😊❤

Thanx for sharing this...! I always filed without an e file... But because of health problems i need to seek for a manner how I can still do nails. So I need to learn efiling!I cant go to a course, because of the health problems, but now I can learn to efile online! And still enjoy the work and my passion: Thanx to you though!
