After abuse, dames nail womaniser (6,3)

I believe the answer is:

ladies man

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'womaniser' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'after abuse dames nail' is the wordplay.
'dames nail' anagrams to 'LADIES' MAN'.
Though, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ladies man that I've seen before include "And is male (anag.)" , "Rake" , "Playboy" , "Say, Don Giovanni" , "(Would be) seducer of women?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
