A 19-year-old Nigerian nail artist, recently undertook a nail-painting marathon in Plateau state, northern Nigeria, aiming to break the Guinness World Record (GWR). With a nail brush in hand, she adorned hundreds of fingernails with vibrant varnish colours like blue, pink, and purple, totaling over 4,000 nails in just 72 hours.

Dachor's incredible feat is subject to Guinness World Record (GWR) rules, which require her to paint 60 fingernails per hour for her attempt to be validated.Now, she eagerly awaits GWR's review after submitting her evidence.

Speaking about her motivation, Dachor expressed her desire to challenge stereotypes about teen mothers, like herself, and to inspire hope in single mothers, highlighting that they too have much to offer.“I want to give people hope, especially single mothers because many people don’t think we have anything to offer,” she told the BBC.As a professional nail technician for nearly three years, she also aims to spotlight women from northern Nigeria and put Plateau state on the global map.Despite the region's history of ethnic and religious tensions, Dachor received widespread support from diverse communities during her record-breaking endeavor.

She hopes her achievement will not only set a new record but also shed light on the beauty and unity present in Plateau amidst its challenges.
