Record For Longest Nails Goes To Vegas Woman

Chris Walton has been working on her fingernails for 18 years. And it’s finally paying off. Guinness World Records has named Walton the woman with the longest fingernails. Nicknamed “The Dutchess,” the Las Vegas woman helped kick-off the new 2012 edition of the Guinness World Records book, which goes on sale today. Her nails measure 10-feet 2-inches on her left hand, and 9-feet 7-inches on her right hand. The previous record holder for longest nails was Lee Redmond, of Salt Lake City. Her nails measured a total 28 feet in 2008. Redmond lost her nails in a car crash the following year.
