I’m not trying to judge anyone, I know folks like different things, but what in the world?! This I don’t get. A grandmother has the world record for the longest fingernails, and they are LONG!
Diana Armstrong is 63 years old, and her nails combined measure 42 feet, 10.4 inches. Her longest nail is over 4 feet, and her shortest is over 3 feet.
The process to get a manicure is complicated. Armstrong goes the nail salon every four to five years. Her hands require about 15 to 20 bottles of nail polish and a woodworking tool for filing. Wow!
Truly I get why she’d want to keep good memories of her daughter, but this is a trip. I guess all that matters is that she’s happy. In my lifetime I’ve never seen nails like this. Totally wild!
