“The idea with the efile is not to apply pressure but to let the efile do it for you” that explained so much for me thank you!!

[kerryanntaylor]

Thanks!! What you said about forward/reverse totally made sense, now I get it 😊

I love doing my own nails, but they never look "salon quality" like yours ALWAYS do. I barely found your channel today so I am excited to pick up tips and tricks from you!!!

Never thought that I would eFile but it appears to be one of the most efficient and best ways to clean up the cuticle area after dipping. Bad peelie, bad peelie! 😂 Thank You for sharing! 😊

Ms. Marla, you are amazing!! I say it every time. I truely believe it. Leave it in the corner of shame… love it!!! I know filing on camera is not your favorite but it is appreciated. Thank you!!!

❤awesome. I want an efile! I have a mini one, but this system looks like it would be gentler and have more options.

I love a fine sanding band for so much! I have been using that far more than most of my other bits.

[judysalisbury]

Thanks for the review. I wanted to share with you, YN showed a vid where you can use an eraser, like old school pink kind, to clean your bits. They say the acetone softens the product but it can still stick? So you just put bit in efile and turn on then run across eraser. Supposed to help longevity also. Works great!! 😁

Love my melody susie file, and I have the one with the air filter. Worth it! Might invest in this one so I can file anywhere!

[Kara-feathertututiara]

Just got my first efile in the mail today! Thanks for the video :) Love the "corner of shame"! 🤣

[sophiaevans]

You have very pretty nails and hands by the way so clean and greatly manicured you do a good job

[lesliepedlar]

Lol 😆 "Mock the Peely"! Great video. I didn't realize to avoid the need to use pressure while efiling was to simply increase speed. I have never used my efile higher than 12. I will try at a higher speed next time. Thanks Marla!

I actually have this one! I bought the green one last month and I absolutely LOVE it. It's my first one so I'm glad I picked a great one, I use it all the time and I barely hit half on the battery. Their have been times where I have to leave mid mani and I take my efile with me and finish filing in the truck 🤣 it fits perfectly in my purse. I got so excited when I seen you got the same one sent to you! Love love all your videos they have helped me so much.

So happy to see you liked it also! I bought it when it came out, they had a 50% off sale that was too good to pass up. It’s my first and only e nail file and I have ZERO regrets. It’s awesome and has changed my nail game.

Edit: to say that I actually have the Sparkle Plus and I have no idea what the difference is because they look exactly the same but I have the green one lol

[leeevers]

Great video, as usual. It’s nice to get tips from DIY’er’s

[DIYNailsBySt]

I have the Scamander. It’s been a good file to have for beginners. One thing I’ve learned to do is prime the diamond bits I use for cuticle lining. I used to cut the crap out of myself. Gave up for a while before starting back. I haven’t used the sanding bands yet but, I’m not quite there yet. Lol Thank you for this video!!! Love you!

[lauriquigley]

I just got that one for Christmas!!! I'm in love with it!

[robinhenderson]

thank you I finally understand how to use my efile. I have a Melody Susie free standing hand or peddle, and I was afraid of using it because I would burn my nail and take out chunks. Used it today while watching your video and tada, easier to do and no chunks. Thanks Marla

[patty]

Thanks, Marla. Love the videos. I'm still at the early DIY stages and getting better at dip. However, I simply cannot seem to get the shine and smooth feeling as well as the salon tech can deliver. Is there a particular video addressing that?

[PawsupCrocheter]

Just pulled the trigger on the $25....I'm new in the dip game and can't justify investing in this one yet. 😬 I'm hoping this will work as well🤞
