I'm sure it's from her not being conditioned from the beginning about the nail trimming. And she's got some crazy macaroni looking things. They are long! and when they are that long you have to go bit by bit.
Have you tried to desensitize her feet and paws? When she is at home and relaxed you can touch and rub her paws so the she realizes that it is not a *bad* touch. This really helped with Pebbles when she was very young. I would have her on my lap and I worked her paws, between her pads, touched her nail and really she is pretty good about grooming.
