The previous record for the longest fingernails on a pair of female hands was held by Ayanna Williams – also from the US – who had 18 ft 8 inch-long talons. However, she later made the decision to cut them off.
Looking at such long nails, manicurists often refused to touch them. However, Armstrong’s grandchildren came to her rescue and helped her maintain them. To adapt to a normal life with such talons, Armstrong stated in the video that she had to give up driving as she was forced to stick her hand out of the window, and was unable to visit salons.A Minneapolis woman has set a new world record for having the “longest fingernails on a pair of hands”.

Woman breaks Guinness World Record for having over 42 feet long nails after not cutting them for 25 years
Armstrong, who hasn’t cut her nails in 25 years, shared in a video posted on YouTube that she didn't tell anybody, not even her children, about her plans to set a Guinness World Record.
"I kept it to myself until I finally told [my kids] why I was growing them," Armstrong said, adding that it was her 16-year-old daughter, Latisha, who used to manicure her fingernails every weekend.
However, Latisha's sudden demise due to an asthma attack left Armstrong shattered and she couldn’t bear to cut the nails.
