<\/p>\nDiana Armstrong from the US state of Minnesota has become the woman with the longest nails in the world. <\/p>\n
The total length of the nails on both his hands was 1306.58 cm, which, by the way, is longer than the length of an ordinary yellow school bus.<\/p>\n
Diana has been growing nails for over 25 years. So his right thumb has the longest nail. Its length is 138.94 centimeters. <\/p>\n
And only this August, she allowed herself to be mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records.Why?
\nIn 1997, a tragedy happened, due to which Diana stopped cutting her nails. <\/p>\n
At the age of 16, his first daughter, Latisha, who gave her manicures every weekend, died of an asthma attack.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018She gave me a manicure the other night. After that, I could no longer cut my nails,\u2019 recalls Diana.<\/p>\n
In the years that followed, Diana’s children tried to convince their mother to cut her nails. But she explained that growing <\/p>\n
them helped her cope with depression after Latisha’s death and became a way to keep her late daughter in mind.<\/p>\n
After the tragedy, Diana became a stay-at-home mom and focused entirely on growing her nails. And now that they have reached extreme length, dyeing has become a laborious process; <\/p>\n
each can take four to five hours.Therefore, she does manicure only once every four or five years. Usually 15-20 bottles of nail polish and a special filling tool are needed for this.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Of course, long nails are uncomfortable. Diana can’t pick up bread from the floor, she refused to drive,she doesn’t buy clothes with zippers, and her children have to constantly follow her movements.<\/p>\n
\u2018We have to be very careful, we always avoid her so she doesn’t hit us in the face or cut her nails\u2019 said Diana’s children.<\/p>\n
Previously, Diana did not agree to photography, she was afraid of public criticism and condemnation, but over time, she began to feel more comfortable and now considers her nails beautiful.<\/p>\n
Despite their length, he was surprised that the nails caught the attention of the Guinness Book of Records. <\/p>\n
But Diana’s children and grandchildren were happy when they learned about it.\u2019 I think she would be proud of me because she was the last one to give me a manicure,\u2019 says Diana.<\/p>\n

The editor-in-chief of the Guinness Book of Records, Craig Glenday, was personally present at the awarding of <\/p>\n
the record holder’s certificate and said that it was a privilege for him to spend the day with Diana and her family.<\/p>\n
By the way, the previous record for the length of nails on both hands of a woman belonged to the American Ayanna Williams, <\/p>\n
