Longest Fingernails EVER! - Guinness World Records

Diana Armstrong (USA) hasn't cut her fingernails in over 24 years.

After losing her daughter back in 1997, her fingernails became a living memory as they used to love painting their nails together.

The longest fingernails on a pair of hands (female) belong to Diana Armstrong (USA) and measure 1,306.58 cm (42 ft 10.4 in), as verified in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, on 13 March 2022.

Guinness World Records 2023 is released in September 2022.

Tragic she lost her daughter but she really needs therapy for her trauma much more than a world record 🙁 the nails are an unhealthy attachment/seems debilitating.. she acknowledged out loud "I didn't go get help"

[ScootyPuffJR]

You can tell by the way she talks about her daughter that heartbreak is still so raw. I'm glad she found a way to be close to her daughter still. Congratulations to this amazing woman for breaking a world record!

[davemeccariello]

She is unable to use her hands for ANYTHING...think about that

[nickheadd]

That's insane. How do you wash, eat, go to the bathroom? This should not be encouraged.

[mermaid]

I get that she’s hurting but she has made herself dependent upon the rest of her family. It’s not fair to them that she didn’t even get the help she needs

[rockaway]

Pfff to each their own way of dealing with losses, but this doesn't seem healthy at all. You shouldn't sacrifice your own life to remember someone, no person would want to pass that burden on their relatives. In the end a lost relative is as close to you as you keep him/her in your mind.
If you want to use a token of remembrance to keep your memory of your relatives close by all means go for it, but don't mistake the token for your actual memories. In the end nails are just nails.

[JustSomeCanadianGuy]

That must make the person with the 2nd longest nailed feel like they’re wasting their time. 🤣

[Jaheartsjonas]

Random thought but in another life this lady could've been a model, she is truly stunning and gorgeous

[jellocakes]

This is so heartbreaking. I lost a child so I completely understand this pain. Everyone deals with grief in different ways. For her it’s not healthy to embrace this. I’m so sorry. I wish I could meet this woman and hug her

This is fascinating. The fact that her nails grow that long and STRAIGHT is unbelievable. I just hope her nails look clean and well-taken care of like that of the former record-holder. It would have been a sight to see. Congratulations!

[astraphobia]

That is just heartbreaking 💔

Congratulations to her, and best of luck to her and her family.

[virginiawilliams]

To each his own but I pray she finds healing for tremendous grief. I was depressed after my mom died in 2010 and didn't snap out of it until now, in 2022. I understand 1st hand what she's going through and the effect but I hope she heals.

[ZR.]

She is a beautiful woman. I’m glad she is no longer a recluse and that the record can bring her positivity about her nails not just mourning for her daughter. I wish her and her family continued healing.

[MbowAmadou]

I have millions of question on how she do basic things with her hands like using her phone, …

[lizzeyflower]

She has not left house In ten years

I can't even spend 10 minutes in my home without hearing yelling

[specterx]

It’s somewhat unsettling to look at but it’s still a very sweet sentiment

[yesyoucanTellme]

Congratulations to her . She nailed it !

[fluffylittleclouds]

Can't they spray paint her nails instead of polishing it? Would certainly go a lot faster and evenly..

[cruz]

She's a Beautiful Soul inside and out.

She's Strong.

She's also Naturally Artistic Aesthetically.

She is Walking Art.

Yes, I'm sure her Baby is Proud of her. ❤️

No Doubt. 🙂

[xClaydogzx]

Well done, her daughter will always be a part of her forever no matter how long the nails grow
