with a drill bit......
ANS 2 - It helps if you use an automatic centre punch first, so the bit doesn't slide. Also it's better if the drill bit is NOT new, so the edges are not extremely sharp. Drill at a fairly low speed (450-500 rpm) for best results. ( This all applies to Plexiglass too )

What are the properties of acrylic?
Acrylic is hard when at room temperature, but becomes pliable when heated. It is sometimes transparent and comes in a range of colours. It can be bent into a shape, but it can snap if bent too much. It is easy to cut and not very flexible (depends on the thickness) and takes a long time to file down. However, when machining acrylic, make sure to lower the RPM of your drill or milling machine to prevent melting the acrylic. Also, use an endmill that is not a spiral, but has a straight cutting blade to prevent shattering (a common phenomenon with acrylic).
Where do you buy acrylic nails?
If you are looking for a professional nail drill, I would recommend something like the Primosa and Mystisa. They are both good commercial units at an affordable price. You can spend twice as much, but these two give you the most bang for your buck. You can find these units by doing search on their names, or get them where I always do: buffpinkies.com
