Guinness World Records (GWR) declared on Tuesday that Diana Armstrong had broken the record for the longest fingernails on a set of hands (female). According to GWR, the 63-year-old woman from Minnesota, America, also holds the record for having the longest pair of fingernails on either hand in history.
The organisation that maintains track of world records reported that Armstrong's hands' combined nail length is 42 feet, which is longer than a typical yellow school bus. Armstrong has reportedly been growing her nails for almost 25 years, according to GWR.
