Ok, so I have a problem maintaining fingernails and toenails.
I'm always picking at them, so my fingers and toes usually look ugly. Well, I decided to change that, and I started with the big toe on my left. I've let that sucker grow, and it is MAGNIFICENT. The end of the nail (specifically the white part) is a about half an inch. That sucker is thick as fuck too.
The thing is, my girlfriend thinks its "disgusting." I mean, I clean it every day so it looks fantastic, so I don't know what the issue is...maybe jealousy? Who knows. The point is she hates it.
So, outside of the obvious advice of dumping my GF, tell me, how should I go about cutting this? The obvious answer is to use some clippers, but honestly I'm scared that the clippers will crack the entire nail or something. So is there any way to weaken the nail so I can clip it? Or is this fear of cracking my entire nail unrealistic? Also, I doubt normal clippers are even big enough to handle my nail.
P.S. I am not kidding when I'm talking about the thickness/strength. Its like...a rhinoceros horn.

Anyway, I often neglect the cutting of my toe nails (they're all the way down there... who could really be bothered?), but when I do get round to it I use a nice beefy set of toenail clippers and usually start from one side of the toe and work my way along the nail.
Generally your finger and toe nails will be softer after a hot shower, so you might find it easier to cut through them either in the shower or just after you get out of it.
Make sure you wear clean socks, try to rotate your shoes, etc.
As advised above, do it after a shower, and maybe invest in some nail scissors rather than clippers, so you can apply a gradual cut rather than a clip.

It is sold at most pharmacies. There will be instructions on the bottle for how much to add to water.
And of course it got infected. And of course he didn't go to the doctors for several weeks. Finally he did at our whole family's insistence. Nearly lost the whole toe, thanks to dumb luck he didn't i guess.
This right here is the answer.
How much does that cost?
I'm sort of super broke right now, so unless its really cheap I don't think I can do it.
I'm talking about one of these.
I check and check but they stay short.
Like i said, funny story huh?
God damn if I were confronted with a rhino horn on a foot as a pedicurist I don't know if I'd feel revulsion or mild arousal.

Can trade TF2 items or whatever else you're interested in. PM me.
As far as the OP goes use a nail file if you have to. And no, your girlfriend is not jealous of your gigantic freaky toenail.
My fingernails grow fine so i don't think it's a vitamin problem. I mean, i feel fine and everything else works properly. My guess? I probably pick them idly whilst browsing these very forums and just forget i did it. That or they get worn down by all the walking i do.
Also you could just not notice it. I mean I couldn't tell you the last time I cut my nails but they always seem to be short so I know I do it regularly. I guess I do it subconsciously or something.
You may just have a very convenient mutation.
