Tami, our Pekins are kept on shavings to protect their foot feathers, so their beaks and toe nails do tend to overgrow without dirt and grit to scratch and peck in. Here's how we deal with them:
You need a small pair of ordinary nail clippers and some emery boards (ladies, here's where you lose your manicure kit! LOL)
We trim the toe-nails straight across with the clippers, but be careful not to get too close to the blood vessel that runs down the middle, and then shape the nail back to almost a point with the emery board (coarse side). If done regularly, just the emery board can be sufficient if the nail is not too long.
Beaks are a little more tricky, and it's best if 2 people do it. I hold the bird firmly while Rob does the trimming - he cuts each side of the beak at an angle, (near the front - the overgrowth is often a slightly different colour, so easy to spot, especially with yellow beaks) so the two cuts overlap at the point of the beak, which easily removes the excess while retaining the approximate shape. Be very careful that you keep the straight line of the whole upper beak, and don't trim too much. Then the emery board is used again to smooth off the front to a slight round and take rough edges off the side. Very rarely the bottom beak has overgrown a little too, but the emery board is usually enough to shape this back.
Hope this helps.
