No I would like to see how to fix flooding with a bit. Yes. I have gained more control of my efile. I have more knowledge of bits and appropriate speeds for different things. As well as technique for removal. I love Anastasia’s explanations and that she always mentions scenarios and what to do even though they’re not on the video. I just love the way you teach and explain everything.... read moreNo I would like to see how to fix flooding with a bit. Yes. I have gained more control of my efile.

The reason I took this course to begin with was because I knew a absolutely nothing about an e-file and I was scared to death to use one on anyone other than myself (and even then using it on myself I was scared too). Because of this it would take me FOREVER to be able to finish a set of nails due to the filing with a hand file taking so long. Now, I have learned so much after taking... read moreThe reason I took this course to begin with was because I knew a absolutely nothing about an e-file and I was scared to death to use one on anyone other than myself (and even then using it on myself I was scared too). Because of this it would take me FOREVER to be able to finish a set of nails due to the filing with a hand file taking so long. Now, I have learned so much after taking this course like which bits are used for what and what all the different abrasive marks/ colors are and what they are all used for and how to be confident and safe using my e-file. For that, you have no idea how grateful I am. It has literally takes me 3 times less time to do a set than it was before. I love the format and the work at your own pace type set up and I really love that all the instructors are here for you if you do have any questions and they actually get back to you when you ask them. Thank you so much for everything and I will most definitely be taking more course in the very near future!!!!!

There is nothing I could complain. Everything was explained in a clear way. Yes, I learned a lot. Even though I consider myself an experienced nail technician, I am using e-file for a while, I still could improve my knowledge. I liked the way it was built, very useful, a lot information. @kinga_szabo_nails read more

Hello Linda!
You can practice on your and other people’s nails. There will also be lessons where you will practice product removal on tips.
As for duration of the course, you will have 4 months to pass it but usually this time is even more than enough to do all tasks.
