Q: How do you use nail scissors?
A: Cut in small sections rather than one pass across the whole nail, following the natural curve. Cutting straight across in one go is what causes splitting at the corners.
Q: Are nail scissors better than clippers?
A: Scissors give more control on shape and are easier on softer or thinner nails. Clippers are quicker but blunter, and can crush rather than cut.
Q: How do you keep nail scissors sharp?
A: Keep them dry and clean, wipe the blades after use, and keep them for nails only. Cutting anything else is what dulls a fine pair quickly.
