The term “femme-icure” refers to a manicure that is both fashionable and safe for your partner’s privates
Long acrylics are applied to most of the fingernails, with only two or three of the nails being kept in their natural length. This style is sometimes referred to as “lesbian nails.”
When you engage in a little digital penetration, also known as fingering, the idea is that you won’t run the risk of scratching or irritating your partner’s vulva, vagina, or anus. This is because you won’t be using your fingers.
The tips of the index and middle fingers are typically shortened, but the lengthier nails on the other fingers can still sport elaborate designs on par with those worn by Cardi B.
You also have the opportunity to create current and amusing nail art with the femme-icure, which calls attention to the shorter nails rather of attempting to cover them up. This is an advantage over the traditional manicure.
In addition, being as how Pride Month has already started in full swing, we have put together a list of some of our favorite designs that you are more than welcome to experiment with on your own. If you are unsure of your ability to handle the finer details on your own, show the images to your nail tech as a source of inspiration; they will have you ready for the parade in no time. Visit the Maby blog to discover the most trending nail art today.
Pride-inspired
It wouldn’t be Pride if there wasn’t a large, bright rainbow, and luckily, this motif works wonderfully for a femme-icure.
Put a piece of tape over each nail on your index and middle finger by adhering it diagonally across the nail bed. Before removing the tape and leaving the central section unpainted, paint each side with the color of the LGBT+ flag that corresponds to the color you’ve chosen.
After that, complete the look by applying a coat of clear polish.
Alternately, you may keep two of your fingers white or black as accent nails, which would contrast nicely against the colors of the Pride flag. Alternately, you might paint each nail a different color, or you could choose to paint eight of your fingers with a neutral tone, and then decorate the remaining nails with a rainbow design.
Marbled tips
These breathtaking manicure designs, which were created for the vocalist Barbie Ferreira of the band Euphoria, illustrate how elegant and put-together a femme-icure has the potential to appear.
After painting on a french tip with a very fine brush, fill in the gap between the nail and the polish with polish all the way up to the tip of the nail. You are free to try out a variety of color combinations.
Make swirls on top of your initial polish using a clean, fine brush before it has had a chance to dry entirely. This will give the appearance of a second coat of polish. To achieve the most possible impact, use a color that is very visible against the backdrop here.
Make the colors look like marble or tie-dye by blending the swirls together using the nail art dotting tool or the brush. This will give the appearance of marble or tie-dye. The very last thing you need to do is put on a layer of clear topcoat.
If you are having problems marbleizing on your shorter nails, you might find it easier to just leave them bare or select a solid color for the tip instead of trying to marbleize on them. In addition, please refer to: Screenshot These Marbled French Manicure Designs Before Your Next Nail.
Femme tops and candy pops
This candy pink manicure with a stiletto design is clearly feminine due to its feminine color palette as well as its style, which is in the shape of a stiletto shoe.
By acting as a stencil and with a circle sticker, you can create this design of a half moon. You can acquire these from places that are dedicated to nail art, or you can use paper hole reinforcers, which are available at most stores that offer office supplies. Both options are available to you.
When applying the sticker to the base of your nail, take care to ensure that you do not cover more than about three-quarters of your nail. The next step is to paint the exposed area with the color of your choosing.
Take off the sticker before it has had a chance to completely dry, and then use a cotton bud dipped in remover to even out any rough edges that may have been left behind. After that, you have the option of either completing your half moons or doing a negative space manicure, in which case you will leave the space between the half moons unfilled.
Corsets, fishnets, and black hearts
This racy collection doesn’t mince words.
The elaborate corset details and checkered patterns may be difficult to achieve unless you are a professional, but there is a method to simplify the appearance for yourself.
Make the tips of your longer nails sharp and black by filing them down. Draw two circles on top of it using a fine brush; when filled in, the result will seem like a heart.
Use a glitter polish or chrome effect to make your pointer and middle nails stand out, then finish with topcoat to maximize their shine.
Say gay
Nails of varying lengths are perfect for the practice of lettering.
These are fantastic, and they’re easy to replicate with some precise brushwork and your favorite nail polish colors. While utilizing your manicure as your manifesto may take some getting used to, once you do, you won’t want to stop.
Applying a top coat over your manicure before the Pride parade can protect it from chipping.
Graphic swirls
This nail art may look complicated, but the beauty of swirls and abstract shapes is that any faults can be explained away as deliberate.
You may do this by painting your nails any color you like and letting them dry. Now, using a contrasting color, paint a line, a circle, or some other shape on top to make it stand out.
To avoid having identical-looking nails, you can make a spider web design in icing analogy and use a toothpick or nail art dotting tool to blur the lines and take out the color. You’re done when you apply a top coat.
A touch of sparkle
If you want to go for a more subtle effect, have your nail tech apply ombre on your longer nails, starting with a clear or light shade and progressing to a deeper, more opaque hue.
Leave your accent nails (the ones on your index and middle fingers) natural or add some glitz with a gem or nail transfer.
Make sure that any decorations are securely adhered. When putting that femme-icure to good use, you don’t want any loose items to come off.
