The nails on the hands and feet of a person are the same horn plates on the tips of the fingers of the limbs of primates, which cover their back side. By the appearance of nails, one can determine a huge number of diseases that the organism of their owner is experiencing to one degree or another. Most often, based on the state of the nails, tuberculosis, psoriasis, cancer, bronchitis and a deficiency of various trace elements are suspected.
But today it is not so easy to meet female nails that are not varnished. Growing and painting them in all the colors of the rainbow, the ladies try to attract attention or accentuate the look of others on the beauty of their fingers. However, some women, paying tribute to fashion, grow
long nails even on far from ideal palms with short, crooked and thick fingers. Such a manicure looks, to put it mildly, unaesthetic.
It is even more difficult to call the longest nails in the world beautiful. Apparently, Christine Walton, whose name is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the owner of such a dignity, has very good health. After all, her fingernails in total reach 6.2 meters! The nails on her left hand are longer than on the right, namely 309.8 and 292.1 cm, respectively.
The longest nails in the world grew for 18 years. Having crossed the 27-year milestone, the singer Duchess (stage name Christine) stopped cutting her nails and at 45, thanks to their length, she managed to become a world record holder. Today, its longest nail (on the left thumb) reaches 91 cm.
According to the singer, the longest nails in the world absolutely do not interfere with her life. That's just a lot of trouble, requiring constant care. So, for example, only to coat her claws with varnish, the Duchess spends several hours. And if Christina Walton's painted nails are a sight of dubious pleasantness, then they are not varnished at all - not for the faint of heart.
Long toenails are also not uncommon these days. One can only wonder how a similar pedicure allows its mistresses to move normally. Meanwhile, here are not without records. So, the longest toenails today belong to Louise Hollis from California. Her toenails have an average length of 15.25 cm. And their total length reaches 2.21 m!
Being a record holder in the nomination "the longest toenails in the world" is not easy. Louise can only walk in shoes on a high platform (at least 8 cm). In winter, she does not wear warm shoes, like everyone else, because her nails do not allow this.
Fashion for long nails among men has not yet come. At least when it comes to heterosexual men. But this does not mean that men never grow their nails. They grow, and how! The title of owner of the longest nails on one arm belongs to just a man. This is a resident of India Sridhar Chillal. He managed to grow nails on one arm with a total length of 6.15 m. And his longest nail grew by 1.29 meters. Such "beauty" the Indian cherished and cherished for almost 48 years!
What for? The question to which the owners of too long nails is unlikely to say: "For beauty." Rather, it is a way to stand out from the crowd, to attract the attention of the masses, which does not require much effort. And getting used to long claws, their owners without them feel already without arms or legs.
