Nail art is very common, about 2 of every 10 females in Nigeria fix artificial nails: long, short, acrylic, mixed colours, press on nails, and many more. However, it is uncommon and rare to find anyone adding any country currency to their artificial nails. According to Nancy, she had decided to try something different with her nails. She also added that money is on her mind. From her mind, she decided to transfer the money to her nails probably as a visual representation of her mind.
