Holder of 2020 World longest fingernails

A nail artist from Houston, Texas, identified as Ayanna Williams, has been crowned with the title of the world's longest fingernails by the 2020 Guinness World Records, and in total her nails measure more than 18 feet long, each of which is just under two foot long.

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. See other strange but popular GUINNESS records

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.

'I am elated and honored. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd make it into the Guinness World Records books!'
