The object of this invention is to provide a nail clipper with supplementary functions. In the nail clipper, a folding plate (34) is rotatably mounted to the rear joint of the clipper's body such that it is rotatable between its folded position and its exposed position. A housing (30) is provided at the free end of the folding plate (34), with a flexible extension (39) extending from the housing (30) and designed to be changeable in its length and bent to be curved as desired. A light emitting device (31), used for illuminating a target place while clipping the nails, is set at the tip of the extension (39). The nail clipper also has a melody chip (42) for producing a melody, in addition to having a battery (40). In another embodiment, the light emitting device (31), melody chip (42) and battery (40) are held on a casing (50) covering the rear portion of the clipper's body.
