Hold up, folks. Let's take this to another level.
Presenting Lady Deathstrike:

I like the idea of super-exaggerated, but, those claws extend from her fingertips, rather than being long fingernails. Not really Femme Fatalons.
Hmmm. Then it would appear that we have a definition problem. It might be a good idea to put the Image Pickin' on hold and sort out the definition, first. I think that there's a substantial difference between "wears clawed gloves", "has some sort of claw-like appendage on the ends of the fingers", and "has normal hands and fingers but chooses to keep exaggeratedly-long fingernails".

She is on the page under Comics. The comic book version
◊ has fingernail-claws *. The movie version is different. And, perhaps claw gloves are "allowed", but things that technically count frequently make a bad page image, if it is a borderline or unusual example.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.The comics Deathstrike rodney linked to appears to have "natural fingernails kept exaggeratedly long". Plus, we have Wolverine Claws for

Also, classic comic Lady Deathstrike
◊ just has long pointy fingers with no nails. She is a weird example. The trope is more about "long but natural nails" isn't it?

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Probably best to file her example as Depending on the Artist, given that the under-nails version appears in the comics as well.
What's precedent ever done for us?Do Femme Fatalons imply a Femme Fatale? If so, our options are narrowed down a lot further.
That said, if they don't imply that, and if we end up going with a Maleficent pic, I'd reccomend a caption along the lines of "she's no Femme Fatale, but some would regard her as being in quite a position to be one."
My advice would be to split the page if Deathstrike only applies sometimes. "Scary looking symbolism" and "lethal weapons" are different tropes.
Oh, we've already got Wolverine Claws. Well, that should probably get some good redirects.

Fight smart, not fair.The "Deathstrike in fancy duds" pic looks like a good example. Here's
◊ another one.

And the very fact they are going "Schlick!" indicates that they are Wolverine Claws, not Femme Fatalons.

Seriously. It's a woman hugging a man. She's got long nails. There's nothing to indicate that she's a villain at all, despite all the emphasis the description puts on this type of nails usually indication villainy for both males and females.
For starters:
