| any nail techs. in the house.. got my nails done this weekend and they look great, was wondering if anyone knows where i can get an electric nail file like the ones they use in the salon. i can do nails myself and dont want to use the regular files, i need something real quick and up to date so i can refill whenever it needs it

| jUST GO ONLINE AND YOU CAN FIND LOTS OF THEM. wHAT THEY HAVE AT HARDWARE STORES IS wrong Whoops cap was locked!!! BE CAREFUL... you can burn your nail and make a hole REAL EASY. I did most all my customers by HAND and was just as fast as the drill girls and the customers liked it better. if you use a heavy coarse grate CURVED file first and the do the fill and then medium and then fine and then BUFF (all these last ones you can get on a 3 or 4 way buffer file. One of the BEST files is the CURVED ZEBRA file. You know it because its CURVED and lookes like a zebra. With one of the curved zebras and a fine file and buff you can do nails REALLY fast.

| I was gonna say ( like above) Be careful, my girl only uses it to take the length down, not on the top of my nail, she does all that by hand too.

Trust me .. the CURVED COURSE ZEBRA will take them right down EASY and FAST . Like a couple SECONDS. The curve contours to the shape of your nail very nicely so no nicks. They cost anywhere from $1.00 to $3.00
