What 💅 means

A hand painting its nails. 💅 means sass, confidence and being unbothered.

It lands after a bold statement or a great comeback. 💅✨ is a common combo for "slay" or "I'm above this." Literally, it stands for manicures, self-care and beauty.

The sassy meaning grew in drag and LGBTQ+ culture.
