I've never understood how can people trim their nails with nail clipper compared to manicure scissors, I use one with fairly narrow and sharp tip so I can precisely follow curvature of fingernail which is especially handy for ring where I have almost 90 degree angles between top part and sides. Can you really trim already fairly short nails with clippers especially if they are curved a lot? I can see how they can work for fairly straight and long nails, but the whole mechanism seems too big to come really close to skin.
