It would seem that it is difficult to surprise someone with a tool such as nail scissors. But, as practice shows, not everyone knows that there are several varieties of this tool itself. And one of them has nothing to do with a person at all.
Clippers
Yes, scissors for dogs (for nails, or rather claws) are known mainly to those who have pets. And in no case can a person use this tool. First, they can injure themselves. Secondly, the alloy of metals from which the clippers are made is very durable. And their use on thin human nail plates can actually do harm. Thirdly, cat and dog clippers are also different. And it is advisable to use a strictly defined pet, not to be confused. Otherwise, the animal may be uncomfortable. Cat nippers are softer, because their nails are also slightly different. And it is absolutely necessary to observe safety measures so as not to injure the pet. Be it a dog or a cat.
Curved nail scissors
They are designed exclusively for cutting nails on hands and feet. Naturally human. Rounded nail scissors are convenient to use to remove excess free edge length. At the same time, some masters of manicure use them to cut a very grown cuticle, however, at home, this is not recommended. Curved nail clippers are most often used on the hands, since it is recommended to cut the free edge here by rounding off the edges. With legs such measures are not provided, so there is a separate tool for them. Sharpening nail scissors with rounded blades is difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to approach the choice of tools very carefully, the better the steel, the longer it will serve faithfully.
Straight pedicure scissors
Actually, they differ from manicure only in this. The cutting part is straight, and the blades are made of a denser metal. It is with these scissors that it is more convenient to cut toenails straight without rounding off the corners. Actually, according to the rules of pedicure, the only way is to remove the excess length of the free edge. It’s so inconvenient to cut nails on hands, and using pedicure scissors is not very comfortable, as they are too thick and clumsy. But to imprison them is not difficult. Even a fragile girl can handle this.
Clippers
Or in another way, these nail scissors are also called tweezers or nippers. These are the ones with which they do not cut, but "bite off" the extra length. Most often they are used by men. As a rule, their nails are denser and firmer, it is problematic to cut them with simple scissors. By the way, some girls use clippers during pedicures. Indeed, it is a pleasure to use such scissors for toenails - nail plates, or rather their free edge, can be removed quickly, easily and without any discomfort. The main thing is that the blades are well sharpened. Usually high-quality steel becomes dull for a very, very long time, so you need to select the clippers very carefully. The German company Zinger succeeded in manufacturing , the products of which are in great demand due to the high quality of the tools. The same applies to nail scissors on legs, arms.
Artificial nails clippers or clippers
Girls who build nails are aware of such an instrument. In fact, it is almost a clipper. Scissors for nails (artificial) are also made of very durable metal, which easily bites off plastic, gel or acrylic. Most often, a tool is used to remove the free edge of the modeled nail. Or at the initial stage, if the extension is meant on tips (plastic plates). In any case, in order not to spoil the structure of a natural nail, it is better not to use cutters. Too crude is a tool. It works according to the guillotine principle. A free edge is placed in the cutter (just like on a block), and then a handle is pressed, which lowers a sharp blade on it, as a result of which it is cut off. Some masters call their instrument the guillotine.
Baby scissors
This is a special kind of tool. It has, as a rule, short blades with a safe tip. Metal circles are usually made at the end to protect the child from injury. At first, babies cut their nails with just such scissors so as not to accidentally do harm during the procedure. And by the way, you need to cut everything exactly the same as in a pedicure - directly, without rounding off the edges. So the nails grow better, not growing into the soft and delicate skin of the baby. But for adults, it is inconvenient and problematic to trim the free edge with such tools, these children's scissors are too “tender”. Cutting off coarse adult nails with them is simply unrealistic: they will bend and crumple, but not be cut.
