US woman with world's longest nails cuts them after nearly 30 years
(Web Desk) - A Texan woman who held the record of having the world’s longest nails grown by a female has finally gotten rid of them.
Ayanna Williams of Houston 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 got one final measurement: 24 ft, 0.7 in.
Williams got the task done at a dermatology office in Fort Worth, Texas, where an electric rotary tool was used for her first nail cut since the early 1990s.
"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!"
Williams said she plans to only grow her nails about six inches. Until now, Williams was unable to 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 Guinness World Records title.
