Yeah, but her eyes glow when she uses it as well, which is a common trope in Semblance/Power usage. There have been instances earlier ine the show where she creates fire and her hands don't glow, but her eyes do. Such as when she fights Ruby and Glynda in the first episode, when she first walks in in Black and White (and her dress didn't light up then, either).

I mean, it could go either way really, but the leading two theories are either a fire generating semblance or fire dust infused in her skin. I've always just been of the opinion that the infusion process would leave you with a tattoo denoting where the fire dust is infused, which would light up every time she uses it. And we've seen nearly every inch of her skin - she has the deep v on her stealth suit which shows she doesn't have a tattoo there, she has a short dress which shows it's not on her legs and her symbol tattoo doesn't light up, and she's got that trashy disguise which shows it's not around her midriff  or arms.

The only places it could theoretically be is where she has the bandages around her hips (which is what makes the outfit look trashy to me. If it weren't for those, I really wouldn't have a problem with it), or perhaps on the back of her hands because her sleeves connect to her fingers on her dress, and she's always worn gloves otherwise.

I dunno, it just makes more sense to me for her semblance to be heat generation, and she can make a much hotter fire than fire dust could which is why it would be a viable semblance.
