Woman with longest fingernails cuts them after nearly 30 years

The woman with Guinness World Record for the world’s longest fingernails has finally cut it off after nearly 30 years

The woman, Ayanna Williams, who lives in Houston, Texas, broke the Guinness World Record for the world’s longest fingernails in 2017, when they measured nearly 19 feet long.

Before getting them cut, she measured it one final time and it was 24 ft, 0.7 in.

It took her for over 20 hours, three to four bottles of nail polish, to do her manicure prior to cutting her nails.

William had her nail cut for the first time since 199o at a dermatology office in Fort Worth, Texas, where an electric rotary tool was used for her.

“With or without my nails, I will still be the queen,” Williams said, according to Guinness. “My nails don’t make me, I make my nails!”

She added that she plans to grow her nails about 24inches, adding that she was unable to domestic activities at home due to her long nails.

She said her new goal is to encourage the next history-making nail enthusiast to go for a Guinness World Records title.

The record for the longest fingernails ever on a female still belongs to Lee Redmond, who started to grow them in 1979. They reached a length of 28 feet, but Redmond lost them in an automobile accident in 2009, according to Guinness World Records.
