Woman With Guinness World Record For Longest Fingernails Cuts Them After Nearly 30 Years

The woman who holds a record for having the longest fingernails in the world has finally cut off her nails.

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.

She eventually cut her nails over the weekend, after nearly 30 years of grooming them.

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

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

Williams had her nails cut at a dermatology office in Fort Worth, Texas, where an electric rotary tool was used for her very first nail cut since the early 1990s.

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

Ripley’s Believe It or Not, an artiste, will display Williams’ trimmed nails at its museum in Orlando, Florida.

Williams stated that she plans to only grow her nails about six inches.

Because of her long nails, she couldn’t do some activities, such as washing the dishes and putting sheets on a bed.

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