Abstract: A finger nail retainer and tweezer for use with a conventional nail clipper. The retainer and tweezer is used with a conventional nail clipper having a pair of elongated cutting blades fastened together at a rear end and having cutting blades at a forward end. The retainer and tweezer is made of spring steel and is of a generally V-shaped construction fitting over the pair of cutting blades and covering the space therebetween to retain nail clippings. The retainer and tweezer when removed from the nail clipper can be squeezed together and serve a particularly advantageous function as a tweezer. The retainer is simply adapted to be fitted over the nail clipper by inturned bottom flanges on the arms and inturned guide elements spaced above the flange elements to bit over the opposed sides of the bottom cutter blade while permitting the movement of the uppermost cutter blade. The flange form a narrow throat at the rear and an enlarged opening receiving a key ring.
