Usually toe nails are a little tougher than finger nails.There are some people whose  nails are
naturally tougher than of others. So in case of tough nails , you have to prepare them before 
cutting by soaking them in water for a few minutes. It  will soften the nails and make it easier
to cut and by that you can avoid damage to nails. 

HOW TO CUT

To cut your nails use a nail cutter.There are different types of nail cutters in the market.
Some have files too. don't use scissors and razor blades to cut your nails because they may 
cut too close to your finger damaging both the finger and nail. When you cut, cut straight across until the nail is no longer over your finger tip.
