Behind Diana Armstrong’s longest nails in the world hides a story of tragedy and pain. She holds the Guinness World Record for the longest fingernails on one pair of hands (the sum of all her fingernails reaches 1,306.58 centimeters), she unveiled the tragic reason why she vowed never to cut them more.
Diana, who last cut her nails in 1997, vowed never to cut them again afterwards his daughter Latisha died tragically while sleeping due to an asthma attack. The teenager was 16, according to a note from Mirror.
Daily life is not easy for Diana, as her nails are the same length as a school bus, the product of not having cut them in 25 years, during which time she hasn’t even once been to a salon. She hasn’t cut her nails since 1997 and she says she never will after suffering a tragic loss.

But the loss of her daughter changed her life forever. And she decided to remember her in a particular way. It’s just that his daughter was the last person to get her nails done. Her other children tried to get her to dress up, but when they realized the meaning, they left her.
Diana, who lives in Minnesota, in the United States, recounts what her daily life is like: “I close my pants or jacket. I can open a can, but I need a knife.”
He also remembers: “I drove a car but had to put my hand out the window. And in public restrooms, I have to use the larger one; my nails are usually longer than the normal sized stalls.”
And he explained how to keep nails clean: “Each nail takes about 10 hours to file and polish. To file, I have to use a Dremel woodworking tool. I fix it every four or five years and wear between 15 and 20. I painted bottles of enamel last week and it took me four days. “
“If I have to get the money off the floor, I can get the bills. But if I drop the rest on the floor, it will stay there.”
After Guinness World Records officially recognized her earlier this year, Diana initially thought it was some kind of joke, but she is now proud of her recognition and thinks Latisha would be too.
