The woman who has been caring for her keratin for almost three decades has said so long with her world record fingernails … but she needs a power tool to do so!
Ayanna Williams WAS the Guinness World Record holder for the longest fingernails on a pair of female hands since 2017 – when they measured almost 19 feet – but she submitted her title for a much-needed manicure … and it’s pretty insane to see.
Williams is closed Dr. Allison Readinger of Trinity Vista Dermatology in Texas earlier this month to saw off her fingernails with an electric twist tool, after revealing that she had been growing them for about 29 years.
She told the doctor she had ‘mixed emotions about my babies’ attack’, but said the time had come because she was getting tired of them … for obvious reasons, we think.
After the procedure, Williams said she feels a lot of relief and it looks like her knuckles are really loosening. BTW, her severed nails are on their way to Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum in Orlando.
No word if Ayanna is planning to grow her fingernails again, but she may have to go 40 years if she wants to set the women’s record of all time – it’s 28 feet and 4 inches, set by Lee Redmond before she allegedly broke her nails in a car accident in 2009.
