The origin is simple:

Because of a sports accident my right hand was in plaster for four weeks; thus I had immense problems to cut or file my nails. My wife offered her assistance – with success but not without sweat running down my forehead! “Chicken”! This made me realise why my children are always so restless when it comes to cutting their nails. Whilst thinking of a solution I had an idea….and this is how NAILMAID was “born”.
