Best Acrylic Nail Tools of 2026

"I've been using this drill for over a year, and for the price, it’s fantastic. The battery lasts a long time and it’s got enough speed and power for my needs. I’d definitely recommend this to any beginner!"

"As someone with arthritis and recent hip surgery, I really appreciate how compact and comfortable this tool is in my small hand. The controls are straightforward, and it makes it much easier to file my toenails compared to traditional clippers. Just be careful not to set the speed too high."

"I love that this drill is cordless and rechargeable—it lets me work wherever I want. The size is convenient and I appreciate the range of attachments it comes with."

"I felt like a pro doing my own acrylic nails at home—even as a beginner! This clipper is super easy to use, cuts smoothly without damaging the tips, and is lightweight and comfortable. I'd definitely recommend it for anyone starting out."

"These acrylic nail clippers are fantastic—they cut through acrylic nails with ease, offering a sharp, clean cut every time. The grip is comfortable and gives me full control. They're a must-have if you work with acrylic nails."

"I really like how easy these are to grip and use. The cutter slices through nails without any struggle, and the size is just right—not too big or small."

"I've had this drill for about a year and it's still working like it's brand new. It's a must-have tool for doing nails at home!"

"After comparing so many options, I settled on this drill and I’m so glad I did! It’s portable, lightweight, and I can use it anywhere—even in bed with my dust collector. I also got the professional Scarlet version, which is stronger but not portable, so I always come back to this pink one for convenience. The only minor issue is the bit holder on top doesn’t lock, but so far it’s held up fine. Plus, I've had great experiences with their customer service—they went above and beyond to help me with my bits. If you’re tired of reading endless reviews, just get this one. Both of mine are still going strong after daily use!"

"This nail drill is very good for at-home manis. It’s easy to use, comes with several tips, and I love the gold color. It’s so portable—I take it with me when I travel, and it’s a perfect backup to my salon-grade drill. It saves me money doing my nails at home!"

"I spent weeks comparing electric nail drills before choosing this one, and I'm glad I did. The machine feels solid, it's comfortable to hold, and it's surprisingly quiet. The LED screen is clear and informative, and the battery came fully charged and lasts a long time. The instruction manual is really helpful for beginners, and I love how easy it is to adjust speeds. I highly recommend it for anyone starting out or looking for a quality upgrade."

"This drill is perfect for beginners like me—it's easy to use, has great battery life, and the RPM display is super helpful. I love the size and the simple Forward/Reverse button, and being cordless makes it really convenient. The only thing to watch out for is that the included sanding bands are pretty rough, so be careful until you get the hang of it. Overall, I’m really happy with my purchase!"

"The MelodySusie Professional Nail Drill is built tough but runs so smoothly and quietly. The precision speed control is excellent, and the handpiece is lightweight with no vibration. I can use it for long sessions without hand fatigue, and the battery lasts through many uses before needing a recharge. The only minor downside is that the included drill bits are just okay, so I upgraded them for even better results."

"I use this tool every day for applying French tips on my clients. Once you get used to it, it's super easy to handle."

"I purchased this after seeing a tutorial online. While it's not the easiest to use, especially with dip powder, the knife is fantastic for my crafting projects. I don't really use the brush, but the blade cuts very well."

"Even though I've mastered clean acrylic French tips without it, I have to mention that the metal is quite sharp and thin. It does help create super crisp, clean lines though."

"I'm genuinely impressed with this 31-piece brush set—excellent quality, soft bristles, and the variety of shapes allows for so much creativity. They're comfortable in my hand and feel very durable. For the price, I think this set is a great deal, and I plan to purchase another in the future!"

"As a beginner, I found these brushes really easy to use, with all the bristles staying intact and the brushes keeping their shape. They're also very soft, so they've made practicing nail art a breeze for me."

"The brushes are beautiful with a nice range of sizes, and I especially like the sturdy cleaning tool. However, I did notice the bristles can separate and acrylic sometimes sticks, making cleaning tricky. Still, the brush feels good to hold and looks great with its glittery purple design."

"I've been using the MelodySusie nail dust collector for my at-home manicures and it has really helped keep my workspace cleaner. I love that it's lightweight and compact, so it doesn't take up much room and is easy to store. The suction works well for most filing tasks, but it performs best when your hand is directly over the intake. It makes a big difference in reducing mess, and it's much quieter than larger models I've tried."

"As someone who only does my own nails at home, this nail dust fan has been a game changer. It's much more effective than the built-in fan on my nail table and surprisingly quiet. The three speeds are handy, and I appreciate that it's so easy to move and clean. Even after months of use, it still works like new. For DIY users, I think it's just right!"

"I use this vacuum every time I e-file my nails and it does a great job controlling dust. The three suction levels let me adjust for different jobs, and it's simple to clean the filter when needed. If I had to mention a downside, I'd say the power cord could be a bit longer, but that's a small issue considering how well it works."

"I've been doing acrylic nails for over four years and found these brushes a bit challenging. Acrylic tended to get stuck in the bristles, and the shape made it tough to pick up a round bead. While they technically work, they don't perform like my usual 100% Kolinsky brush. Still, they're better than basic nylon brushes, but not my first choice, especially for beginners."

"I got this set for my mother-in-law and she absolutely loved the design. The quality really impressed her, and she was happy with the whole set!"

"For the price, these brushes have surprisingly good quality and come in a pack with several sizes, which I find convenient for different uses."

"I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoy this nail file drill. The modern design looks great on my vanity, and I really appreciate how everything is organized and easy to access. This drill is powerful and feels professional without a high price, and the adjustable speeds make it super versatile for different types of nails. For the quality and accessories included, it's an absolute steal!"

"My experience with this nail Dremel has been fantastic. I used to borrow my aunt’s expensive one, but this one actually feels even sturdier and more powerful. The included bits are better than expected, and the price was way less than what she paid at nail tech school. Even my husband uses it in the garage! Just a heads up: it’s pretty powerful, so take care with your nails."

"I’ve had this for months and it’s still working like new after frequent use. It’s perfect for removing gel extensions and shaping after application. I love the adjustable speed control and find the corded design more reliable than battery models. With some additional disposable files, it’s the best way I’ve found to care for my nails at home—I highly recommend it!"

"As a beginner, I found this kit extremely thorough and convenient, since it included a wide range of powders, tools, and colors all in one box. The powders are finely milled, and the brushes held up well. Although the instructions could be clearer for first-timers, with a little practice, this kit offers great value and flexibility."

"My teenage daughter absolutely loves this set for learning how to do nails. It came beautifully packaged and included everything she needed to get started. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone starting out!"

"The kit is a good value and has all the basics, but I did notice that the fumes from the monomer are extremely strong and can fill the entire house. Because of this, we’ve had to limit its use inside."
