Diana Armstrong of Minnesota, USA was awarded the Guinness World Record for the longest fingernails ever seen on a woman. If all her 10 toes were lined up in a row, their total length would have been measured at over 13 metres. This is the length when she was given this honour in 2022.
Armstrong stopped cutting her nails in 1997. Her claws now easily reach the floor and she regularly paints them different colors. The official Instagram page of Guinness World Records shared Armstrong’s story, writing, “The total length of Diana’s nails is longer than a standard yellow school bus! Diana has been growing her nails for over 27 years!”
Armstrong answered the question shortly after breaking the record for the first time. In an interview, she revealed, “Well, you know, when I go to the bathroom it’s the same as anybody else goes to the bathroom, except I do my nails maybe in a different way.
People asked many such questions, the most important of which was how does she take care of them? Why did she grow her nails long? This question is special for Armstrong. There is a sad story behind this decision. One day she had asked her children to wake up while she was going to the supermarket. But when she was out, her youngest daughter called her and told her that her 16-year-old daughter Latisha would not wake up. Then she came to know that her daughter had died in her sleep due to an asthma attack.
