Best Electric Nail Drills for Home and Professional Use

Acrylic nails are a modern trend that allows creating a whole variety of beautiful and sophisticated nail designs you won’t be able to do with natural nails. Yet, this type of nail finish definitely needs special tools and a good nail drill is a must. However, not all nail drills are equally good for acrylics. Though manufacturers claim the opposite, in practice, many models appear to be not the best option for acrylic nails. Since they are much harder than natural nails and gel polishes, you’ll need a powerful and dependable unit with a complete set of strong bits to make unmatched acrylic designs. This is where the MelodySuise nail drill will come into play.

The first feature that makes this model a match for acrylic nails is high bit rotation speed it generates and precise variable speed control. A large dial knob on the front panel of the control base allows accurately setting the speed from 0 to 30,000 RPM in 1000 RPM increments. Thus, you can both work at a lower speed to process natural nails or go to a higher RPM to sculpture, shape, and file acrylic nails and do professional nail art.

Next to the speed, the nail drill is complete with a set of 6 bits to perform different works both on natural and on artificial nails. All bits are diamond coated to serve you for longer. You’ll get two barrel bits for shortening and surface works, a cone for cleaning under nails and fixing cuticles, and a needle bit for finishing and polishing. In addition, there is also a mandrel and 6 sanding bands for filing and buffing.

The MAKARTT JD700 is being advertised as a professional nail drill machine and we can definitely see why. What separates a professional model from a mediocre one is usually the model's bearings.

Here, we have a drill equipped with high-speed Japanese bearings. The bearings produce very little noise and heat, despite the variable speed control that can give you anything between 1 to 30,000 rotations per minute. On top of that, the bearings limit the vibrations to the absolute possible minimum. With 0.02 mm coaxiality (0.0007874 in), you get ridiculous precision, the precision required for professional polishing work and quality nail art work.

The aforementioned variable speed with a 30,000 RPM limit and the model's precision make it suitable for natural nails, dip powder nails, builder gel, acrylics, as well as old pet nails.

Aside from these parameters, the difference between a professional machine and a subpar model often comes down to execution. On paper, you get some of the same features and functions, but the way they've been implemented and realized is seldom that similar. For example, in addition to all of the usual controls, the model incorporates a convenient LED display. Among other things, the display can be used to view the speed signal according to the velocity change.

Every nail drill comes equipped with a grinding head. But not every drill features a twist-lock chuck system. Though not a game changer by any stretch of the imagination, this little system makes the grinding head replacement a whole lot easier.

Here is one of the most convenient nail drills that you can find on the market! It looks nothing like traditional units since it comes with a control box and an aluminum handpiece. The control box here boasts a small and slim profile that can easily go into your handbag or even pocket. It comes with a handy pocket hook that lets you hang the unit on your belt or waist. Also, the box includes a special post where you can put the handpiece when it's not in use.

Despite being so compact and portable, the AIRSEE nail drill will please you with its high performance and functionality you'd typically expect from a more professional-looking tool, which makes it a suitable option for commercial purposes as well. Actually, it can generate the bit rotation speed of an incredible 30,000 RPM, allowing it to tackle just about all kinds of nail work, including running through tough acrylic like a knife through butter without breaking a sweat. With that, it functions quietly, generates low vibrations, and doesn't tire your arms. Made of high-quality aluminum, the handpiece is very lightweight and won’t cause hand strain even after a few hours of work. It has a well-balanced ergonomic design that easily fits into any palm and ensures maximum comfort.

For extra versatility, the drill comes with 6 drill bits and a kit of sanding bands that allow for shaping, filing, buffing, polishing, or filing artificial nails or trimming natural ones.

At a glance, it becomes obvious that the Nail Drill for Acrylic Nails by BTArtbox looks completely different. It boasts a sleek golden casing and boxy shape with smooth lines and no sharp details to stick out like a sore thumb. In addition to the aesthetically pleasing look, it also feels very well-made and has a quite space-saving design featuring a small controller unit with a built-in piece holder (6 slots across the top to store all drill bits) and a handle rest. The center cradle can hold the handpiece securely in place without it touching the surface due to the tapered end of the drill point - a handy design solution when you need to switch between pieces or just set the handle down for rest.

Speaking of the drill unit itself, it's a bit thinner than most at-home options. The handle is all-metal and doesn't feature soft rubber inserts yet offers a good grip. Thanks to the upgraded design, it ensures smooth and reliable operation with no hot spots even with prolonged use. Also, it is very quiet while in use.

As for the core, the high precision and high torque motor can deliver up to 30,000 RPM, which should be enough even for the most intricate jobs. The drill starts out low and then gradually builds the speed as you turn the dial. The process is so smooth some users say it "feels like the Lamborghini of nail drills". The 3,000-15,000 RPM speeds will work best for natural nails, 15,000-25,000 RPM is for acrylic nails, and 25,000-30,000 RPM suits for more professional nail art work.

The Belle company has taken into account customers' preferences and released an upgraded nail drill that not only looks very high-tech but also offers some novel features to make the drilling process even more enjoyable and quicker. The advanced Bell Nail Drill has a modern design with smooth lines and a large LCD display that makes the machine easier to use compared to most other models out there. Thanks to this smart addition, it'll be much easier for you to control the speed because the display will show real-time RPM.

Every time you turn on this nail drill, the start speed will be 2,000 RPM. However, with a simple rotation of a dial, you'll be able to adjust it anywhere from 0 to 30,000 RPM. Equipped with an upgraded motor, the drill performs for long periods of time without heating up and vibrations in handle. That's why the tool is ideal for grinding, sharpening, polishing, carving, cutting, removing gel polishes, acrylic nails, gel nails, and natural nails.

To work with all those types of nails, it comes with a great variety of tips and files. The drill bits are easy to store right on the main box - there are five holders for the most frequently-used bits on the top of the machine.
