Maintain and Finish Nail Overlays using an Electric File (E-File)

The e-file is a specialist course which is the next step for those already qualified in acrylic or hard gel nail enhancements. There are so many positive uses for the e-file within a nail service treatment when you train with professionals that are qualified and experienced. 

It greatly reduces the manual time with files which can lead to repetitive strain or tennis elbow.  However, there are many people offering it, having learned from youtube, bought an efile off the internet and carrying it out incorrectly!
