Guinness World Records holder gets 24ft fingernails cut off

A Texan woman who has been growing her nails for 30 years has had them cut to embrace a new chapter in her life.

Ayanna Williams held the Guinness World Records title for the longest fingernails on a pair of hands (female) at a combined length of 733.55 cm (24 ft 0.7 in).

The global authority in record-breaking achievements partnered with Ripley’s Believe it or Not! on Ayanna’s final nail measurements before her nail cutting procedure in Fort Worth, TX, USA.

Her record-breaking nails are now immortalised with the updated record title and display at the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Orlando Odditorium.
