Review title is Dip Powder Manicure Approved! [SEP] This little drill is great for a novice like myself. I was tired of paying $35 to have a dip manicure so I invested in a kit and started doing them myself. Now filing my nails seems to be the bane of my existence so that why I purchased this drill. It's small and inexpensive which is what we're clearly looking for. I read lots of reviews that spoke of this unit being portable but let me clarify. IT DOES NOT WORK WITHOUT BEING CONNECTED TO A SHORT CORD! Let me tell you what a pain that is! Based on the other reviews I thought I could charge it, then walk around freely with it. No such luck. You have to keep it plugged in. Bummer. I also dislike the package did not come with instructions on how to use the nail bits or what they are for. Or even directions on how to put them in. Thank you to the people who posted videos. I had to do some research and found this great video that explained everything about the nail bits. [...] . Put those things aside this drill is pretty darn good for the price. It isn't strong and I like that. Like I said I'm a rookie at doing nails so the last thing I need is a powerful drill that murders my cuticles. Yes, it does stop if you apply too much pressure. That's a plus in my opinion - another safety feature for me. It does a great job of filing down old dip powder just enough so soaking them off doesn't take forever. It's great to smooth out your dip mani when it's too thick. The unit does get warm when used but has never clonked out on me. It does not have a forward or reverse feature like some of the more expensive ones. Big whoop! I didn't need it! I'm pretty content with my purchase.
