IF absolutely necessary, this should only be done by a vet - If done incorrectly, you could damage the skin around the nails, possibly causing bleeding which if not immediately treated, could end with the death of the lizard !

One of the BEST ways to keep a lizards nails in check - is to provide a small area of rough slate on the floor of the vivarium - that way, when the lizards walks on it, the nails will naturally be filed down.
