Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- Nail clippers
- Nail file (optional)
-
Step 1
Open the nail clippers for use by sliding the top "handle" to the side and over so it turns up, and you can push this top lever up and down, moving the clipper portion.
-
Step 2
Trim your nails by placing the blade/clipper portion over the edge of your nail, and pushing down (clipping the nail). Work from side to side of the nail (for larger nails and toenails), trimming evenly across the nail. Perform this over a garbage can for ease of clean up.
-
Step 3
For a smoother edge on your nails, some nail clippers have a swing out nail file, that you can use to smooth the edges of your recently trimmed nails. If your nail clipper does not have this feature, you may use a nail file by gently buffing the edges of your nails, so they are smooth and even.
