The range of manicure tools that are used at home and in salons is simply huge today. Nail clippers are no exception.
Manufacturers offer a very wide selection. Naturally, the most important thing in such an instrument is how well the blades are sharpened. This is not difficult to check - sharp nail clippers can cut through a
plastic bag without difficulty and effort
.In addition, all manicure tools on the market are different from each other. Most of them are made by hand of a different type. So, for example, there are nail clippers with a wide and narrow cutting blade. If the nail is narrow and the cuticle is small, then there is nothing to do with wide blades, you can only injure the nail, not getting the desired result. If the nail plate is wide, but the tool under it is chosen narrow, then it will not work to bite off the nail. If you select nail clippers for yourself, then you need to focus, of course, on your type of nails. In addition, there is another important criterion: the size of the tool handle. So, for the owner of a wide palm, it will be more convenient to work with the tool with wide and long handles. Nippers are more comfortable in the hand, do not slip out, do not require special
effort when pressed. The owner of a small palm will easily use the tool with small and short handles.
When a professional master picks up a tool for himself, then in his arsenal should be a variety of models. So, it can be three types of nail clippers: with a wide blade, with a narrow blade, nail clippers (boat). The latter differ from their counterparts in that they are intended exclusively for artificial material (plastic, gel, acrylic, biogel). It is strictly contraindicated to bite off a natural nail with such nippers.
Nail clippers must strictly correspond to the type of nail, the width of the palm of the master, its purpose. This is the only way to avoid injuries, to do manicures with pleasure, without experiencing inconvenience and discomfort. The shape of the blade also matters. So, for simple nail trimming, straight-cut nippers may be suitable. It is convenient for both manicure and pedicure. A sail-shaped blade allows
trim nails without leaving sharp corners from the sides. After processing with such a tool, it is not necessary to file nails.
Moreover, there are nippers with a clamp that do not allow strong pressure. This applies mainly to cuticle nippers. The skin here is too delicate, and excessive force when removing the cuticle can cause a cut.
There are also universal nail clippers. This is the very tool with which you can both cut the nails (both on the arms and legs), and remove the cuticle. Typically, the blades of such a tool are not too wide (15-17 mm), they have the shape of a sail (crescent). With this universal device, you can safely perform manicure and pedicure work.
Nippers of any type should be made exclusively of stainless steel, because it is it that can withstand any thermal effect, is not subject to corrosion and is the most hygienic material.
