Abstract: A trimmings collecting nail clipping device for hygienic nail trimming includes a lower blade extending from a first end of a bottom plate. Pairs of first and second posts extend from the bottom plate proximate to the lower blade and a second end of the bottom plate, respectively. A first terminus of a center plate is engaged to the second posts distal from the bottom plate. The center plate extends between and past the first posts. An upper blade, which is engaged to the center plate, and the lower blade define a gap. A lever is hingedly engaged to the first posts distal from the bottom plate. Upon levering of the lever, a nail positioned in the gap is severed. A panel is engageable to the bottom plate to define an interior space that receives a clipping generated upon severing of the nail.
