Toenail Scissors
OK, I confess that I have used these Safety 1st Clear View clippers that I cut my nails with my son in the last 6 years ... (Mine are the same as the one shown in the figure, except for the color blue is the old version.) I find that nail clippers are the best around so I downloaded all the versions and used these adults only. (Do not worry about the hygiene problem, as I wash and dry them properly every time I clip their nails. They are made of stainless steel. I am using the same pair since my son was born, I strongly recommend them to new mothers !) Anyway, I know that sounds really strange that I use the tools on child myself, but it's true.Well, some time early this week, I decided to venture out and bought some Manicare nail tools, thinking they would help improving my nail skills. I had to start with cutting and trimming then only move onto beautifying them, right?
I WAS WRONG!
Manicare Toenail Scissors
Product Description:Heavy Duty.
Specially designed for cutting toenails, with long handles and larger finger grips to allow ease of trimming. Made of the finest quality stainless steel, with hand ground blades for a perfect pedicure. - Manicare
And see what these heavy duty scissors did to my little toe after one cut... I nearly screamed! Someone ought to do a tutorial on how to properly cut the toenails with whatever proper scissors! I am totally hopeless. Maybe Nikki on Askmewhats should post something on this subject as she is so good at nail stuff...

OUCH! I decided to leave those scissors alone and went back to my son's baby nail clippers instead...
Manicare Cuticle Trimmer
Product Description:Stainless Steel.
Easy to use Cuticle Trimmer tidies excess cuticles and hangnails.
Extra sharp Stainless Steel blades give smooth snag free trimming.
Moulded handle gives comfortable grip. - Manicare
Could someone please teach me how to utilize these cuticle trimmers? I can see and feel the super sharp tweezers(?) After injuring my little toenail, I had lost courage to try these two sticks. I am particularly confused by the red part. Anyone knows what does that do? I did ask the sales assistants in the store but they were all equally as baffled. I checked online but found no information on these other than what's described on Amazon site...
