I've tried every way to use an & nested selector, and it has rejected them all.

.icn { & .icn-success { color: green; } }

.icn { & + .icn-success { color: green; } }

.icn { &--success { color: green; } }

.icn { &.icn-success { color: green; } }

icn { .icn-success & { color: green; } }

No clue what it wants or how to proceed.

style.scss 
.banner {
  padding: 1em;
  background-color: lightgrey;

  .button {
    font-size: 1.5em;
  }
}



.icn {
  & .icn-success {
    color: green;
  }
}

This is a very tricky one! It took me a minute to get it on my end as well! The way it's asking for what it wants is strange, but it's wanting .icn-success so if we omit the .icn from the & nested selector it will append it automatically from above. 

.banner {
  padding: 1em;
  background-color: lightgrey;

  .button {
    font-size: 1.5em;
  }
}

.icn {
  font-size: 1.25em;
  &-success {
    color: green;
  }
}
