Queer manicure

[a]) is a style or trend of manicure intended to allow lesbians and other queer people in the LGBT community to safely and easily perform digital penetration during sex.

The style is often seen as a public expression or symbol of lesbian identity, particularly on the femme side of the femme–butch spectrum,[1] while manicure and nail art are more broadly seen as a recurring topic across the community and are frequently seen in spaces such as the drag subculture.

[4][6] Both shorter nails overall and the 'party fingers' style of manicure have become symbols of lesbian pride or a form of mutual identification between queer women in public.

[2] Other proponents of the manicure include Mina Q, a Los Angeles stand-up performer, and Natalie Minerva, a professional nail artist for HBO's Euphoria responsible for the middle-and-index style sported by star Barbie Ferreira.

[2] A writer for Allure also spoke of her favorable experience with the sex positivity surrounding the manicure and its growing visibility.
