Woman sets Guinness World Record with 42-foot long fingernails, report says

Armstrong said she has been growing her fingernails for over 25 years, with last cutting her nails in 1997 after she lost her 16-year-old daughter, Latisha, to an asthma attack.

“That was the worst day of my life,” Armstrong said.

She said she has always had longer than average nails, but her daughter used to help her manicure them every weekend.

“She was the only one who did my nails. She polished them and filed them for me,” Armstrong said.

Over the years, she said her children tried convincing her to trim her fingernails, but she did not.
