History Main / FemmeFatalons

* In ''Film/DennisTheMenace'', Dennis's mother's antagonistic boss has red fake nails and even taps them on a divider as she walks along in one scene.

* A number of characters from Franchise/DragonBall have this trait, perhaps most noticeably [[HumanoidAlien Namekians]] because the first one of them introduced was imagined as a [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demon]]. Unlike most of the examples on this page, they're a male-looking OneGenderRace.

* The murderer in one issue of ''ComicBook/TheMazeAgency'' used her long nails to slit her victim's throat. The vital clue was [[spoiler: that she cut her nails immediately afterward to hide the evidence]].
* In ''ComicBook/RedRobin'' the villain Maduvu, a member of the assassin group the Seven Men of Death, has disturbingly long pointed nails which he uses in combat.
* The cover of ''ComicBook/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'' #90 uses this as a metaphor for Sabrina being tempted to TheDarkSide--one hand has rounded nails with pink polish, while the other has sharp nails with a coppery polish.
* Nekra, a recurring adversary of ''ComicBook/SpiderWoman'' and, later, ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'', always wears her nails long and sharp, as if her [[EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette sickly pale skin]] and black outfit weren't proof enough.
* ''Franchise/TeenTitans'' rogue [[Characters/TeenTitansCheshire Cheshire]] has her sharpened fingernails as her most iconic weapons, and as a MasterPoisoner, she frequently [[PoisonedWeapons keeps them poisoned]], making even [[DeadlyScratch the tiniest scratch potentially deadly]]. It can vary if they're actually just her natural nails or if she has some kind of [[WolverineClaws claw weapon]] on her fingers.
* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'':

* A number of characters from Franchise/DragonBall have this trait, perhaps most noticeably [[HumanoidAlien Namekians]] because the first one of them introduced was imagined as a [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demon]]. Unlike most of the examples on this page, they're a male looking OneGenderRace.

* Lust from ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' has the power to grow her nails incredibly long. They can also retract into her hands and must be pretty strong, since they never break. Although she does use them for slashing, mostly, she uses them to stab people.

* The latest episode of ''Anime/KiddyGirlAnd'' introduces Rubis, an assassin who transforms into a animal-like creature and extend the nails on both her hands and feet as weapons. Also an example of FingerLickinEvil.

* Lilly Five team member Ellie in ''Manga/ShamanKing'' has a french manicure which serves as the medium for her oversoul which becomes a set of claws.

* Kirasaku Made from ''Manga/SutekiTanteiLabyrinth'' has talons which she uses as her weapons.

** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': The gorgons' fingernails are long, sharp and a coated in gold.

* Referenced in ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'': JD and Turk like to put Bugles (cone shaped corn chips) on their fingers and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGtWblFcvjE pretend they have "witch nails".]] Turk accompanies this with an EvilLaugh.

* {{Exaggerated|Trope}} with Kali in ''Series/TeenWolf''. She not only has (apparently) permanent, black-painted claws on her hands, but on her ''bare feet'' as well. Why no one (aside from the main characters fighting her) ever noticed a woman walking around with no shoes or socks and large sharp claws on her toes is never addressed.

* Wrestling/{{Melina}} was proud of hers on Smackdown and made sure to keep them protected even when attacking, which ironically lead to her using more legal forearms and axe handles more frequently than punches. Less so after she got her first shot at the Women's Championship.

* During the lead up to Wrestling/AmazingKong's ([[TenMinuteRetirement first]])retirement in [=SEAdLINNNG=] she grew her nails out to the point she couldn't make a good fist without her gloves, [[DivergentCharacterEvolution in contrast]] to TagTeam partner Wrestling/AjaKong, who typically [[TheGlovesComeOff removed the gloves]] when she got serious.

** In ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' the background for Lelith Hesperax, leader of the [[TheFairFolk Drukhari]] [[GladiatorGames Wych Cult of Strife]], has had her fingernails reinforced and sharpened to a fine edge so that she can kill her foes even when otherwise unarmed. This isn't represented by her in-game rules however.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' has several examples: Feiya, the iconic Witch, has extra-long nails. Changelings (an almost-literal MageSpecies born from unions of Hags and human men) have these as a racial feature.

* In ''Theatre/TheWomen'', Sylvia in the first scene is showing off her nails, which have been painted a new shade called "Jungle Red." Nancy says it's good "for tearing your friends apart," a quip which Sylvia resents. Mary admires the shade, but the [[ChattyHairdresser chatty manicurist]] who gave it to Sylvia also divulged some gossip about Mary's husband keeping another woman. At the end of the play, Sylvia and the other woman are sore at Mary for having cattily outwitted them, and she says, "Well, I've two years to sharpen my claws," and flashes her fingernails--"Jungle Red, Sylvia!"--before leaving the two ladies alone.

* GodEmperor Nadia Om from ''Webcomic/KillSixBillionDemons'' wears these during court functions and has habit of tapping them loudly on furniture (or nearby slaves) in order to psyche out her petitioners. As a brutal MultiversalConqueror and [[PlanetLooters Planet Looter]] who has condemned entire worlds to starvation and slavery for her own comfort, needless to say "Mother Om" is not a very nice person at all.

* Morganna [=McCawber=] from ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' has femme fatalons. She started off playing this straight, but within her first episode she was already moving into DarkIsNotEvil territory and soon managed to pull off a complete HeelFaceTurn without a hitch, in the process becoming the [[CharacterTitle title character's]] LoveInterest.

* Kasumi Tendo in the 11th OVA episode of ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' has claws from being possessed by an Oni and uses them to give her dad a shoulder massage.

* Male example in ''Manga/{{Bleach}},'' MadScientist and CrossesTheLineTwice JerkAss Mayuri Kurotsuchi has a single long nail on each hand. He's a scholar. Confucian scholars would grow out their fingernails as a sort of "See? I don't need to work!" sign. Then it sunk in that [[FridgeLogic this made reading and writing awkward]] and they cut back to just one nail on each hand.
* Another male example in the ''Manga/PeacemakerKurogane'' manga. After becoming gay and crazy, Suzu grows out his nails and wears nail polish.

* ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'''s Kiishim has Femme Fatalons, but turns out to be not so evil after all in later appearances. Not to mention that even initially, she was {{Mind Control}}led.

%%* Kevin, the farm boy cannibal from ''Film/SinCity'', more so than in the original comics.%%
* The female member of Griff's gang in ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartII'', made worse by her on-screen proclivity toward unprovoked {{Groin Attack}}s.

* In ''Film/DennisTheMenace'', Dennis's mother's antagonistic boss has red fake nails and even taps them on a divider as she walks along in one scene.

* Winifred Sanderson from Disney's Halloween movie ''Film/HocusPocus'' has these. With all her crazy hand motions, it's kind of hard to miss, especially when she uses one like a knife to cut through a window screen.
* Bellatrix Lestrange has long nails in several of the ''Film/HarryPotter'' films. For that matter, so does her male boss Voldemort -- which isn't surprising, as he LooksLikeOrlok (though he's an EvilSorcerer instead of a vampire, and he lacks the nose and hunchback).

* In ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'', Saruman definitely wears them with style.
* Male examples are more common than female in ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''. Barbossa has long, sharp, blackened fingernails, and Davy Jones has pointed nails on the fingers that aren't mutated into tentacles. However, the prize has to go to Sao Feng, whose nails are long enough to curl.
* In ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'', icy henchwoman Severine wears these, lacquered purple and gold. They go with her absurdly vampy beaded dress and were intended to evoke the appearance of a dragon. However, unlike other examples, she's not presented as a FemmeFatale, being more a prisoner of her employer than a willing partner.
* In ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful'' [[spoiler: Theodora]] sprouts a set when she does her FaceHeelTurn. They're the first thing we see of her new "wicked" form.

* ''Film/TheForceAwakens'': Bazine Netal, the First order spy in Maz's bar, wears pointed black finger caps.
* Count Orlok, the vampire from ''Film/{{Nosferatu}}'', is an early male example. Definitely overlaps with CreepyLongFingers.

* In ''Film/TheThirstyDead'', Ranu, the high priestess of the immortality cult, has incredibly long, impractical fingernails.

* The Chancellors of the Capellan Confederation in ''{{TabletopGame/Battletech}}'' wear the last three nails on each hand extra long and extra sharp following the fashion of Chinese emperors in RealLife history. Of course, the emperors weren't half as likely to have them ''artificially reinforced''...
* ''Literature/{{Coraline}}'': The Other Mother has long thin fingers with red nail polish on each fingernail.
* In ''Literature/TheWitches'', the MageSpecies are AlwaysChaoticEvil and have several RedRightHand features, including long, catlike claws, which they hide with gloves.

* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maila_Nurmi Maila Nurmi]] as Vampira had long pointy nails.

* A YellowPeril villain from ''Series/GetSmart'' had these, going as far as to cut up apples and carve statues with them. Agent 86 comments that this is probably how he is able to afford an underground lair. "Think how much money he saves on knives!"

* One minor character had long nails complete with a diamond piercing in the pilot episode of ''Series/DarkAngel''. She even went so far as to offer to show Max how sharp they really were.
* Huntress from the TV series ''Series/BirdsOfPrey2002'' had long nails.

* In the ''Series/MastersOfHorror'' episode "[[Recap/MastersOfHorrorS1E2HPLovecraftsDreamsInTheWitchHouse H.P. Lovecraft's Dreams in the Witch-House]]", the witch has some razor-sharp nails which she uses to claw bloody marks into Walter's back.
* Several characters on ''Series/{{Claws}}'' have this, although it makes sense as they work in a nail salon.

* ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'': A masculine example. Adar's fingernails are long and unkempt.

* The Rider in Creator/{{Bally}}'s ''Pinball/{{Centaur}}'' shows off some sharp fingernails on the playfield.
* The Devil in ''Pinball/DevilsDare'' gets to show off his wicked curved fingernails as he reaches out to the player.

* Salina de la Renta began wearing pointy nail extensions when she became a manager in Wrestling/{{M|LW}}ajor League Wrestling. The better to direct her minions at the objects of her scorn.[[/folder]]

* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' has several examples: Feiya, the iconic Witch, has extra-long nails. Changelings (an almost-literal MageSpecies born from unions of Hags and human men) have these as a racial feature.

* In ''Theatre/TheGoldenApple'', Achilles warns that Circe will "scratch your heart out with her long red fingernails."

* Many of the female villains in the ''VideoGame/{{Lunar}}'' series have long, manicured nails.
* Elexis Sinclair from the PC game ''Sin: Episode 1'' has long red nails.

* ''VideoGame/SuikodenII'' has Karen, a dancer you can recruit into your army, who can be used in regular battles. She uses her long, sharp nails as her weapons, and (amusingly enough), has them upgraded by being sharpened at the ''blacksmith's.'' (So does every other weapon in the series - including things like woks, book belts, and ''hammers'', but still.)

* Alraune, from ''VideoGame/Bayonetta2'', has ''absurdly'' long and sharp nails, which are one of her primary weapons.

* Gaap from ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' has long, red nails.

* ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'' gives us both [[spoiler:Junko Enoshima]] and [[spoiler:Mukuro Ikusaba]]. Granted, it's debatable how ''evil'' the latter is, but she's imitating the former, who we learn is the BigBad.
* [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen Ga'ran Sigatar Khura'in]] in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice'' has long red nails that she hides under her robe sleeves until the final trial. They also apparently function as pens.

* In ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'', Hexadecimal plays this trope straight.
* The original ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' series had the (male) Decepticon Scourge with bright pink sharp "fingernails".
** In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'', the evil characters have much sharper fingers than the heroes. Unsurprisingly, Airachnid has them, being the primary evil female character of the show. Starscream's claws actually seem to vary in length depending on how evil he's being in that scene.

* Morganna [=McCawber=] from ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' has femme fatalons. She started off playing this straight, but within her first episode she was already moving into DarkIsNotEvil territory and soon managed to pull off a complete HeelFaceTurn without a hitch, in the process becoming the [[CharacterTitle title character's]] LoveInterest.

* Clover in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' gets these when she's put under MindControl by an evil manicurist.

* Murdoc Nicalls from Music/{{Gorillaz}} is a male example.
* The villainous and untrustworthy Roodaka sports large claws in the third ''WesternAnimation/{{Bionicle}}'' movie. She even runs them over Vakama's chest when trying to talk him into betraying his partners. [[ShowAccuracyToyAccuracy Her toy, ironically, doesn't even have hands.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'': Demona, being a gargoyle, boasts these; even in her human persona of ''Dominique Destine'', she files her fingernails into sharp points.

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' plays with this trope: when Meg Griffin gets [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Lust-like fingernail growing powers]], everyone scoffs at her for having such a [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway lame and useless power]].

* Numerous villains in ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'' (both male and female) have had long nails.
* In ''Series/{{Farscape}}'', Aeryn Sun's mother apparently had these, as she escaped capture by using them to ''slice open her own arm'' to pull out a knife she apparently had surgically implanted [[CrazyPrepared just in case]].
** In "Incubator," Scorpius' nanny had red, talon-like nails. For that matter, so did Scorpius as a child, though he evidently trimmed them before he started wearing his coolant suit.

* In the ''Series/MastersOfHorror'' episode "Dreams in the Witch-House", the witch has some razor-sharp nails which she uses to claw bloody marks into Walter's back.
