Nail scissors: types and applications

It would seem that such a tool as scissors fornails, it's hard to surprise anyone. But, as practice shows, not everyone knows that there are several varieties of this instrument. And one of them has nothing to do with man.

Claws

Yes, scissors for dogs (for nails, to be exact -claws) are known mainly to those who have pets. And in no case use this tool a person can not. First, they can cause injury to themselves. Secondly, the alloy of metals, of which make the claws, is very durable. And their use on thin nail plates of a person can actually do harm. Thirdly, scissors for shearing claws of cats and dogs also differ. And they are desirable to use a strictly defined pet, not to be confused. Otherwise, you can cause discomfort to the animal. Cat's nippers are more "soft", because their claws are also somewhat different. And it is necessary to observe safety measures so as not to injure the pet. Be it a dog or a cat.

Nail scissors

They are designed exclusively for haircutsNails on hands and feet. Naturally, the person. Rounded nail scissors are convenient to use to remove excess length of the free edge. At the same time, some masters of manicure apply them to shearing a very grown-up cuticle, however, at home it is not recommended. Curved scissors for cutting nails are most often used on hands, because it is recommended to trim the free edge, rounding the edges. With the feet of such measures is not provided, so for them there is a separate tool. To sharpen nail scissors with rounded blades is difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to approach the choice of the tool very carefully, the more qualitative the steel, the longer it will serve with faith and truth.

Pedicure scissors straight

Actually, from manicure they are only this andare different. The cutting part is straight, and the blades are made of a denser metal. It is more convenient for such scissors to trim their toenails straight, without rounding corners. Actually, according to the rules of a pedicure, this is the only way to remove the extra length of a free edge. On the hands of nails to cut so uncomfortable, and use pedicure scissors is not very comfortable, because they are too thick and "clumsy." But to imprison them will not be difficult. Even a fragile girl can cope with this.

Clippers

Or in another way these nail scissors arecalled tweezers or nippers. These are the ones that do not cut off, but "bite off" excess length. Most often they are used by men. As a rule, their nails are denser and firmer, they are problematic to cut with simple scissors. By the way, some girls use clippers during pedicure. And really, such nail scissors on the feet use one pleasure - the 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 is blunted for a very long time, so you need to pick up clippers very carefully. The German company Zinger succeeded in production, the goods of which are in great demand due to the high quality of the tools. The same applies to scissors for the nails on the legs, hands.

Kutery or clippers for artificial nails

Girls who build up their nails know about thistool. In fact, it's almost a claw. Scissors for nails (artificial) are also made of very strong 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 you mean the build-up on tips (plastic plates). In any case, not to damage the structure of the natural nail, it is better not to use the cutters. Too rough is a tool. He works on the principle of guillotine. The free edge is placed in the cutter (just like on the block), and then the handle is pressed, which lowers the sharp blade onto it, as a result of which it is cut off. Some masters call their instrument - the guillotine.

Children's scissors

This is a special kind of tool. It has short, as a rule, blades with a safety edge. At the end, usually made of metal circles, to protect the child from injury. Infants first time nails cut with such scissors, so as not to accidentally cause harm during the procedure. And, by the way, you need to cut everything just like in pedicure - straight, not rounding the edges. So the nails grow better, not growing into the soft and delicate skin of the baby. But adults to comprehend the free edge of such tools is inconvenient and problematic, too "gentle" these children's scissors. Stripping them rough adult nails is simply unrealistic: they will bend and crumple, but not cut.
