There is a woman in the United States who has had her nails for 28 years, and the total length of her nails has reached 7.3 meters.
Become the Guinness World Record holder: the man with the longest nails in the world.
Just a few years after receiving the Guinness World Records certification, she regretted it and went to the local hospital to have her nails sawed off.
How did she live with such long nails, and what did she regret it?
28 years of insisting on keeping nails
In the United States, a woman has become the Guinness World Record holder with her nails, she is the longest woman in the world today, her nails are 7.3 meters long, she has not been cut for 28 years, and each manicure requires multiple bottles of nail polish, and the manicure takes more than 20 hours at a time.
The woman's name is Anna, from Texas, USA, according to her recollection, the last time she cut her nails was in the last century, Anna has been very fond of nails since she was a child, and suddenly one day she decided to keep her nails long on a whim, wanting to see how long her nails can grow, who would have thought that this stay would be twenty-eight years.
From the beginning, Aianna just wanted to stay longer, and then make a beautiful manicure, female friends love for nails as much as men love for car machinery, after Aianna did a beautiful manicure, she felt that her nails were not long enough, and the nails were not good enough.
With the passage of time, she likes long nails more and more, everyone often says that hands are a woman's second face, just like the harem concubines in Qing court dramas, the concubines in Qing palace dramas like to keep nails, but careful friends can find that the concubines in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "The Legend of Ruyi" have nail covers on their nails, called armor.
The armor is equipped with precious stones and gold decorations, which looks very dazzling and dazzling, in the harem of the Qing Dynasty, the armor is the symbol of the identity and status of the concubine, not the ordinary concubine is qualified to wear, the most basic use of the armor is to protect the nails, and the armor is not something that ordinary women can do.
Difficulties encountered in life
Most ordinary people have daily work and housework to do, so it is easy to damage nails in daily life, and the concubines of the harem are pampered every day, and all kinds of work are done by maidservants, so they will naturally grow nails, in order to show their slender fingers, but Aianna is an ordinary woman, and there is no pampered life of the harem concubines of the Qing Dynasty.
She naturally encounters a lot of difficulties in her daily life, just the simplest daily dressing, the concubines in the harem dress and wash every day, and there are maidservants to serve, and in the United States, Aianna is just a girl from an ordinary family, and dressing every day in life is a troublesome thing, you have to be very careful, the movements are slow, and once the speed is a little faster, it is easy to break nails.
It's okay in summer, she wears fewer clothes, but in winter, she needs to wear heavy clothes one by one, she needs to clench her fists every day, her five fingers are bent as much as possible and she holds a toothbrush to brush her teeth, and it is very difficult to deal with housework, she must do everything carefully, and she also has to think about the next move, whether it will hurt her nails.
And when sleeping, it is often easy to wrap their nails around the quilt, spread on the bed before going to bed, and after waking up, ten nails are wrapped around the quilt, when using a mobile phone, always hold the mobile phone in one hand and slide it with a thumb in the other, ten nails are often interspersed together, and in order to protect the nails, Aianna's posture when walking is also very strange.
There are still many people who have questions about what to do when Ai Anna goes to the toilet and eats, in this regard, Ai Anna said that she makes full use of her knuckles, not her fingertips, although this makes her daily life very burdensome, but Ai Anna still persists for her hobby, often paints some patterns on her nails, and needs to use 3 to 4 bottles of nail polish to do a nail art.
And it takes several days to make all her nails perfect, which is very time-consuming and laborious, but her long nails also made her quickly popular on the online platform, and Aianna has also accumulated a large number of fans because of her nails, and she is still firm in her choice in the face of others' doubts and incomprehension.
The Guinness World Record holder before Ai Anna was a woman named Redmond, who also had very long nails, but her nails were broken in a car accident, and then Ai Anna became the current Guinness World Record holder, and Raymond took care of her nails to the extreme.
Raymond spends hours a day caring for his nails, soaking them in olive oil, and then applying hardening agent to each nail to ensure the strength of the nails, but even if he is careful every day, these nails are broken in a car accident, and it is probably very sad for such a person who loves nails so much.
Break free from the shackles of long nails
After many years of keeping nails, finally one day Anna couldn't bear this lifestyle, she didn't want to be affected by this, she decided to cut these nails, to meet her new life, before cutting it off, she went to Guinness for a second certification and then decided to cut off her nails, hearing the news, many museums came to collect her long nails.
Because Aianna's nails are too long and very thick, the general nail clippers are constantly cutting, so I had to come to the hospital to find a dermatologist, the doctor saw such a long nail, and also became interested, immediately put down the work in his hand, to observe her nails, and then the doctor found a small chainsaw, carefully helped Aianna remove her nails.
After more than ten minutes of excision, ten nails were successfully removed, the doctor said that this was the most interesting work experience he had ever had in his history, and Aianna also looked at her nails, the nails that had been left for nearly 30 years were now cut in ten minutes, which made her heart a little hollow.
Nails that have been with her for 28 years have been integrated into her life, and in many cases it is her own attitude towards life, she said to others: If others want to have long nails, I will encourage them, why not? This is your life, don't worry about what others will say, after all, whether you do well or badly, you will be discussed.
Aianna quickly adjusted, she moved her hands, her fingers have not been so easy for decades, and she has not clenched her fists in thirty years, Aianna clenched her fists, she said afterwards that her knuckles were loosened, she was finally free, she could return to normal life, and housework and meals would not be disturbed by this long nail.
I've had my nails for almost 30 years, and I'll miss them, but now I'm ready to start a new life, Aianna said in an interview with the media, no matter what Anna does, she will first think about whether her actions will cause damage to her nails, so that Anna will always be on the lookout, and if her nails break, she will definitely be very sad.
But now she is fed up with this kind of life, her spirit is tense every day, and although she has adapted, life is very troublesome, she wants to try the life of ordinary people, and now her nails are exhibited by a museum in Florida called "Believe it or not".
After cutting her nails, Aianna has also found her own way of life, she shows her individuality and freedom, and is willing to let go of the shackles of the past, bravely step into a new life, and enjoy every moment of her own life.
