A woman from Houston, Texas has been awarded the record for the world’s longest fingernails by Guinness.

Aryanna Williams says that she has been growing her jaw-dropping nails for around 23 years to the point that they now measure a combined length of 18 feet and ten inches.

The prodigious nails have become so long that they now require an exhaustive amount of maintenance as well as prevent Williams from performing a vast array of everyday tasks.

Nonetheless, her patience has been rewarded via a spot in the 2018 Guinness Book of World Records after the previous titleholder ‘tapped out’ and finally clipped her nails last year.

Adding a unique perspective on Williams’ record as only they can, Guinness notes that her longest fingernail measures 27 inches and, thus, actually exceeds the height of the world’s shortest man.
