Dry Manicure Techniques on Short Nails

Let's recap a handful of dry manicure techniques! We'll use small diamond bits to meticulously clean the cuticle and open up the cuticle pocket. A dry mani eliminate hangnails, it leads to better product adhesion and a longer lasting manicure, and overall it's more aesthetically beautiful!

    This channel has been instrumental in aiding me through mail school and becoming a nail tech.
  • Love the detail bit. After years of Brazilian manicure, I have very deep sides. It's a relief to see all the dead skin gone.
  • EXCELLENTE ... Tutorial 😊I'm old school tech and this has been really helpful working with Nail Drills n Bits .... Gracias
  • @Kristiweiler
    Why do we brush the nails in one direction versus the other? Just curious… in school they told me to brush towards the free edge, but I ❤️ these results… I just want to understand why I am doing what I am doing 🥰

    Erica, I’ve purchased almost all of your bits,as a matter of fact I think I got the last ones in the Labor Day Sale at Gemini 😂, I was curious though when you said to push brush “toward” your client .. I’ve been taught by several to only pull the debris out and away so that it isn’t pushed back into cuticles … Can you explain further? Thanks love the info and tutorials
  • I'm in North Carolina, I'd love to take a session from/with you.. after nail tech school
  • @callmekells802
    Should you pull the skin down while doing the sidewall to get in there or is this dangerous for the perionychium? I’ve heard you can get in there with the bit but I’ve also heard that you cannot touch the side wall with the bits AT ALL. It feels natural for me to take the keratin buildup out of there but I don’t want to hurt my clients if that’s not the proper way.

    Do you have a complete manicure using bits, but incorporating free edge file, lotion, lacquer? Or close? Thanks!

    I think at 5:25, you meant to display reverse, but you displayed forward.
  • Erica did you just blow on your clients nail 😮 I thought we couldn’t do that?
  • @graceallovermae
    Do you have a video explaining drill bits or do you explain them per video
  • @tabbysheikh295
    Hi Erica. I have some of ur diamond bits which I bought from uk but how do I get rest of them? Do u ship to uk??. Kindly reply
  • Good video..where do we purchase the diamond bits, files and products you showed in your video?
  • What nail drill brand/ model you recommend me for mans salon use and for foot callus fast removal?🙏❤️❤️🙏
  • @bayliseib1240
    Could I use a fine grit ball instead of extra fine to polish after the service?
  • Is there any shop that has bought and used this filer, can I have an evaluation?
