Poke also stated that the cost of getting her nails done was relatively cheap but the lady had still done a great job.

“Let me give you a rundown of what my look cost and let me plug you with the team that brought it to life. I worked on different days. The very first day I went to get my nails done. I was going for a little bit of dramatic nails. Usually, I work with the camera a lot so I like to keep my nails short. But this time around I was like let’s do something dramatic and that’s what I went with. I was so in love with the outcome. I am still in shock as to how I found this gem. Affordability, check and this is exactly what I showed her, and I got it and for the prices, I’m still amazed.”

Poka then fixed her eyelashes at Madina. She stated that this process cost her GH¢200 and was done by a lady named Ewura.

Poka indicated that on the graduation day, she went to do her makeup and wig installation both costing a total of GH¢800.

From the breakdown of costs incurred, she spent GH¢1,160 on her looks. However, she was not willing to share who made or the cost of her two-piece suit in public.
