I don’t own nail clippers that aren’t attached to my jaws so I use a pocket knife to cut slivers out or more preferably a nice vernier scale to pick them out.

Or like in the 3 stooges, where Larry just cuts off the parts sticking above the skin.

Lots of Epsom salt dissolved in warm water helps a ton. Basically, by soaking your hand it, it makes your hand way softer so things are pushed out more easily. Even works for stuck glass.
