A Texas woman has been crowned with the title of the world’s
longest fingernails – and in total they measure more than 18 feet long.
The long nails belong to Ayanna Williams, a nail artist from Houston,
Texas. .
Her nails, each of which is
just under two foot long, have earned her a place in the Guinness World
Records 2018 Edition. Having spent most of her adult life growing her
nails, more than 23 years, she was first inspired by a friend and plans
to continue growing them. .
She has
also revealed that the most challenging thing about having extremely
long fingernails, which can take up to one week to paint, is pulling up
her trousers. While she’s constantly getting lots of attention for her
nails, and knows she is rather unique, her friends and family think it’s
quite normal. .
In order to take care
of her nails, Ayanna uses anti-bacterial soap and a nail brush to clean
them daily. And to help them grow, she regularly applies hardener and a
thin layer of acrylic. .
‘To let my
children know that anything they want to accomplish can be done. It
takes courage, discipline and patience but it can be accomplished,’ said
Ayanna on her reason for applying for the record.
