About
Woman Gripping With Both Hands or If You Pay For My Nails You're Gonna See Them In This Position is a Photoshop, redraw and "finish the drawing" template consisting of two female hands, one positioned vertically over top of the other as if gripping something. The image and meme started appearing on social media as early as January 2024 and is often posted alongside a prompt asking users to finish the picture by drawing something in the hands, resulting in numerous examples being created that year.
