Grandma With The World Record Of 20-Feet Long Fingernails(pictures)

Chris Walton who holds world record title for the world’s longest fingernail has shown off her incredible talons at the Guinness World Records 2014 launch in London. The singer has not cut her fingernails in two decades, since 1993. Her nails now reach more than 20 feet, twisting and turning in a way that would appear to make even the most  simple task nearly impossible.
“The Dutchess” as she is fondly called..

in Nevada and California. That’s her stage name. Her voice is far from the first thing you would notice if you bumped into her in the street.
Walton’s bizarre nails curl in all directions – yet the mother of five cooks and cleans, and can even play the piano and use a computer.
Her amazing dedication to her nails was officially recognized by the 2012 edition of the Guinness Records Book. She painted them a dazzling gold to celebrate, a color they have remained.
‘It’s just like growing a long beard, or long hair,’ Ms Walton said in 2011.
‘I didn’t grow my nails deliberately – I just stopped getting manicures and started taking care of my nails myself.
‘Instead of clipping them back, I’d fill them in as they grew. I kept living and they kept growing.
‘I think they got this long because I don’t pay attention to them. I sometimes even forget they’re there.’
Ms Walton strengthened her nails using acrylic on the outside and inside of the nails. This also helps to balance the weight on each hand.The woman claims to have only lost a nail once, when fixing her car engine on the freeway, and otherwise has no trouble leading a normal life.‘Other people think I’m very fragile when they first meet me, but they soon see that I can do everything,’ she said.

‘In my next life, I’m going to grow my nails and pretend I can’t do anything for myself so that people will do it all for me.
‘My daughters don’t cater to my needs, I do everything.‘I would never be stupid enough to stop my life so that I could grow my fingernails.‘I’d rather have the attention for my music.’

Ms Walton is well-known for her voice in California and Nevada – she has been singing and playing her music since the age of 14.She has just released a single called Live And Let Live – which she believes sums up her attitude to life and how being different does not have to push people apart.
‘I believe we were all put on this earth to be different,’ Ms Walton said ‘If people are mean to me, I think that although I can cut my nails off, there are people born different that can’t get away from their difference.‘Would they tease them too and how would that person cope? We should just live and let live, and be positive.’
