Longest Fingernails On A Pair Of Hands (Female)
The
longest fingernails in the world today belong to Christine Walton from Las
Vegas, Nevada, USA. Originally measured as the new record holder in February
2011, Walton’s nails at that time measured a combined 6.019 m (19 ft 1 in).
After getting measured again in 2013, Walton’s nails had grown to a combined
7.314 m (23 ft 11 in).
The 47
year-old, who is also a talented singer going by the stage name "The
Dutchess," hasn't cut her fingernails since 1990.
"I
never made a conscious decision to grow the nails, but with all my children and
the music commitments I guess it was easier to let the nails grow. Then one day
I look down and they're like 9 inches long!"

Walton
insists the nails don't prevent her from living a normal life; she can still
braid hair, cook and drive. However, she does confess to struggling when
shopping for clothes.
"I'll
see the cutest shirts, and they'll have these skinny arms and I know that my
nails would just rip straight through them."
At the
time of her last measurement, the nails on The Dutchess’ right hand measured a
combined 3.689 m (12 ft 1 in) and those on her left a total of 3.625 cm (11 ft
10 in). Her longest individual nail is the right thumbnail, at an astonishing
107 cm (3 ft 8 in).
