The owner of the longest nails in the world lives in the USA, Las Vegas. Her name is Chris Walton. Also, the 45-year-old singer is known under the pseudonym "Countess". Experts in 2011 recorded her nail length equal to 91 cm.
The longest nails in the world
Chris Walton grew a 91 cm nail on the thumb of her left hand. The sum of all the singer's nails is just over six meters. She stopped cutting her nails at the age of 18. Long nails cannot stick straight and they twist like snakes. However, even in this state, Walton independently conducts daily hygiene procedures, prepares food, works at the computer, plays the piano and does the cleaning. She also applies makeup to herself without help and dials SMS on her phone.
To preserve extra-long nails, the singer uses acrylic. The application of this substance on both sides strengthens the nails and ensures an even distribution of the load. For daily care, a large number of varnish bottles are spent. The actress does not intend to part with an interesting attribute of beauty.
