Disclaimer 1: I am a self-taught home manicure enthusiast, NOT a licensed or professional nail tech.
Disclaimer 2: I have fine arts training, a very steady hand, and experience with small power tools (like Dremel drills), so if you don't, you should be even more cautious when learning to use this tool because while I don't think it would stand up to professional use, it is still powerful enough to hurt you and/or damage your nails if you don't study up and go slowly. Respect your tools!
My first order of this item got lost in transit so between that and the very low price, I was worried that this might be a scam. But no! The company promptly shipped out a replacement and I was able to unpack and use it right away.
As you can see in my first/before pic, I have mostly healthy nail beds but lots of thick, keratinized growth along the lateral and proximal folds. Believe it or not, that first pic is actually loads better than in the past when I was still actively biting and picking at my nails. I learned how to apply shellac/gel polish at home to help discourage these habits, but the crusty cuticles seem to grow back no matter how many bottles of cuticle remover or cuticle oil I throw at them. I invested in sharp, high quality nippers and was trimming them regularly with that tool, but it just wasn't precise enough for my liking and they would always grow back ragged as well as thick. So when dry/Russian manicure videos started popping up everywhere, I was intrigued.
I used it on clean, dry hands, with alcohol wipes on hand to clean away the dust as I worked, and a freestanding magnifying glass with a bright light so I could really see what I was doing. Honestly I'm SO happy with the results of my very first try. Again, check out the before and after pics! Also, I know you're supposed to use it AFTER removing your old polish, but for my first run I decided to leave the old polish on as insurance against divots and nicks from tip slips and beginner clumsiness. I'm glad I did this, because I did slip a few times before I got used to the speed and angles.
Speaking of removing polish--that's next! I'm looking forward to being able to use the mandrel bit + sanding rings to more quickly remove the top layer of my gel polish before soaking off the remainder. Should save me some time!
Overall I'm comfortable recommending this tool for conservative home use, as long as you spend a few afternoons watching tutorials by reputable experts (Erica's Dry Manicure channel on YT is an excellent resource) and take your time. It should NEVER hurt to use this tool, and you should never cut or abrade healthy or vascular tissue. That said, it comes with everything you need to get started, and I really appreciate how small and lightweight the handpiece is; it's like holding a fat marker or highlighter, and much easier to maneuver than the hand drills I use for carving wood and stone. I don't think it's sturdy or powerful enough to use on a parade of paying clients and I certainly wouldn't recommend sharing the bits with other users because of hygiene and infection risks, but professional-quality efiles and drill bits cost hundreds of dollars so this is still a fab value for amateur/ beginner needs. I honestly might pick up a spare for finer artwork and engraving projects.
