The answer

If the private parts are touched only with the fingernail, this is not considered to invalidate ablution. The books of Hanbali, Maliki, and Shafi'i jurisprudence have stipulated that the touch that invalidates ablution is with the palm of the hand or the finger, not with the fingernail or the back of the hand or anything else.
