Accents with back of fingernail (fingerstyle)

Hi everyone,

I noticed that sometimes when playing fingerstyle, especially when adding a little 8th or 16th note accent here and there, I do a little downstroke using the back of the nail on my index. So, for example, instead of going index->middle finger I might go index(fingerpad)->index(back of fingernail), kind of like a restrained, one finger "rasgueado". Is there a name for this/is it common? It feels very natural to me, and I wonder if it's actually so obvious that no mentions it (or perhaps they do but I failed to notice)

 

I just watched a couple videos, and that's very close to what I was talking about! Although he clearly made it a whole style. I do the upstroke thing here and for a quick accent (almost in the same situations where one would play an open string and then hammer on the intended note instead of just fretting it). Cool! So I guess that I if I mention Geddy Lee's right hand technique people will know what I mean.
