What is an explicit example of a singular affine variety X over a which is finite field over Spec F_p but which does not lift to characteristic zeroa scheme Y which is finite and flat over Spec Z_p?

What is an explicit example of a singular affine variety X over a which is finite field F_q over Spec F_p but which does not lift to a scheme Y which is flat over Z_q? Are there any examples of such X which are finite and flat over F_qSpec Z_p?

I know lots of examples of smooth projective varieties which do not lift to characteristic zero and, by a theorem of R. Elkik, any smooth affine variety lifts to characteristic zero.
