           a tool used to cut and shape nails. There are a variety of types and styles of nail cutters available, each designed

              and toenails.




                                 •  Guillotine clippers: These have a single blade that runs straight along the edge,
                                    resembling a guillotine. They are suitable for both fingernails and toenails.




           •  Scissor nail clippers:  Similar to small scissors, these clippers  have two
              blades that are squeezed together. These are often preferred by people with
              arthritis or dexterity problems.

           layer of skin at the base of the nails and maintaining them properly is essential for healthy-looking nails.
