Lindsay Lohan: My F-Word Manicure Was Only a Joke

07/07/2010 at 07:10 PM EDT

Lindsay Lohan says her explicit fingernail message was not directed at the judge who sentenced her to 90 days in jail.

"Didn't we do our nails as a joke with our friend?" Lohan Tweeted to a pal on Wednesday. "It had nothing to do w/court.. it's an airbrush design from a stencil."

Lohan created a stir when up-close shots of her hand from her sentencing Tuesday showed "F--- U" written on her left middle finger.
