Woman with world's longest nails hasn't visited nail salon in 22 years

A woman who broke the Guinness World Record for the longest fingernails on a pair of hands ever (female) has shared how she goes about daily tasks with a combined nail length of 1,306.58 cm (42 ft 10.4 in), the approximate length of a school bus. Diana Armstrong has been growing her nails for 25 years, and says she hasn't been to a salon for 22 years.

Diana, who last cut her nails in 1997, vowed never to cut her nails again after her 16-year-old Latisha tragically passed away in her sleep from an asthma attack. Her daughter was the last person to do her nails for her. Although her other children tried to persuade her to get them manicured, once they understood the significance, they left her to it.
