Nail cutter: Used to cut and give normal shape to nails. A nail cutter, also called a nail clipper or nail trimmer, is
a tool used to cut and shape nails. There are a variety of types and styles of nail cutters available, each designed
for different purposes and preferences.
Types of Nail Cutter

• Standard nail clippers: These are the most common type, consisting of
two blades connected by a lever. They come in different sizes for fingernails
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.

• Rotary nail clippers: These work similarly to rotary cutters, providing a different
cutting mechanism than traditional clippers.

Nail scissors: Designed for more precise trimming, especially around the cuticles. Nail scissors for cuticles are
special scissors designed for trimming and shaping the cuticles around the nails. Cuticles are the thin, delicate
layer of skin at the base of the nails and maintaining them properly is essential for healthy-looking nails.
Types of Nail Scissors for Cuticles

• Curved Blade Scissors: These scissors have a curved design that follows the
natural curve of the cuticle, making it easier to cut with precision.

• Straight blade scissors: These scissors have straight blades and are
typically used for general cuticle maintenance.

• Angled Blade Scissors: The blades of these scissors are angled, offering a different
approach to cuticle trimming.
