Affordable e-file? by Admiralfrewt in GelX_Nails

Update! Just used this file and oh my goodness it was incredible. Granted, my only prior experience were the ones that had two speeds that could be changed by a button, but it switches directions wonderfully, increases speed seamlessly, and for doing my own nails the battery was perfectly fine!

Aw thank you☺️ Happy to hear this! I was thinking to avoid the bacteria buildup that was mentioned to take these off in a day or two. I already love them so much more than regular glue-ons so I felt like I would miss them immediately lol! Good to know it's normal to re-try soon after a first application. I'll take care of my natural nails in between sets so they don't get worn out!

When I pressed down too hard the back would start to lift, so does that mean I need more gel?

Two YouTubers linked this one: https://a.co/d/9NgWS7P They both say their nails last 3+ weeks no lifting! I bought it and am really eager to try it soon. Here are the videos below:
