Ayanna Williams,a nail artist from Houston, Texas has been crowned with the title of the world’s longest fingernails – and in total they measure more than 18 feet long.
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.
