World's Longest Fingernails

Sixty four year old Lee Redmond of Utah, USA holds the record for the longest fingernails. The total length of her talons in 24 feet and 7 inches. She keeps them supple by rubbing in olive oil. Since the record was set in September this lady has decided to cut her nails as she needs to take care of her husband who suffers from Alzheimer's.

She hasn't cut her nails since 1979.

A retired Indian photographer from Poona near Mumbai has been growing his fingernails for almost 50 years. He has put them up for auction. His thumbnail alone measures 4.8 feet and resembles a twisted, thin, antler like protrusion. It is tortoiseshell in colour and coiled up in spirals.

Shridar Chillal has held this record for 20 years. His hands are permanently disfigured because of the weight of these nails. You can see the coil formed by his thumbnail in this picture.

Li Jian Ping of Shishi, Fujian Province, China is a close contender for this record.

Li Jian Ping heard about the Indian photographer and was determined to beat him. He has not cut his fingernails for fifteen years and the combined length of the nails on his left hand is over one metre.
