What Is It?

While some with the fetish only like natural nails, others are aroused by artificial nails as well. Many have particular preferences for color, red and blue being most popular. Being scratched by long nails can also be a turn-on.

There may be something of an animalistic connection to this fetish, since many fingernail fetishists see and refer to the nails as claws or talons. Like many other fetishes, this brings fear, power and domination/submission into the mix.

Required Equipment:

Fingernails, artificial nails, nail polish, nail designs

Insider Quote:

"My fingernails have been growing for three years and are 4 to 5 inches long. They also curve and grow with a slight twist. I have found that having a long fingernail fetish forces a man to respect the person with long fingernails." -- "Mona," Web mistress, www.angelfire.com

Fun Fact:

Since the oldest documented evidence of a manicure comes from 5,000 years ago, it is possible that this fetish may have originated then.
