Woman goes 27 years without cutting her 13m long nails – and everyone is saying the same thing

Diana Armstrong, a woman from the US, has captured the attention of the world by not cutting her fingernails for nearly 30 years, earning herself the Guinness World Record for the longest women’s fingernails on record. The total length of her 10 nails measured an astonishing 13 meters plus in 2022. Since 1997, Armstrong has let her nails grow to the point where they easily reach the floor, and she enjoys decorating them in various colors.

The news of Armstrong’s record-breaking nails set social media abuzz, with many users fixated on how she manages everyday tasks. One burning question that emerged was, “How does she wipe?” Armstrong addressed this curiosity in an interview, explaining that she uses a lot of toilet paper and works with her nails in a different way than most people.

Behind Armstrong’s decision to grow her nails to such extreme lengths lies a heartbreaking truth. On the day she vowed never to trim her nails again, she tragically lost her 16-year-old daughter, Latisha, to an asthma attack. Latisha was the one who lovingly manicured Armstrong’s nails each weekend, and keeping her nails long has become a way for Armstrong to honor her daughter’s memory.

Armstrong’s story serves as a reminder of the deep emotional connections we can have with seemingly trivial aspects of our lives, and how they can become powerful symbols of love and remembrance.
