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.
Barbara Wing of Salt Lake City, Utah
didn't reach the record books but her nails are strangely
beautiful.
She had been growing her fingernails for over fifteen years
when she had this nail art applied. She proudly displays 10
Jazzmen on her 7 inch long nails.
