Diana Armstrong, who lives in Minnesota, USA, has nails that are super long, making her famous. She's got the Guinness World Record for the longest fingernails on a woman. If you lined up all her nails, they'd be over 13 meters long! That's longer than a school bus!

Her journey to this record started way back in 1997 when she decided to stop cutting her nails. By 2022, her nails had grown really long, all the way down to the floor! And she likes to paint them in different colors.

The official Guinness World Records Instagram page shared Diana's story. They said her nails are longer than a school bus! Diana hasn't cut her nails since 1997. She made that decision after something really sad happened to her.

In an interview, Diana said it's not easy to have such long nails. Simple things, like using the bathroom, can be tricky. But she finds ways to manage. She does this because her daughter, Latisha, used to take care of her nails. Latisha passed away, and Diana kept her nails long to remember her.

Diana's story is about love and determination. She's uniquely remembered her daughter, and despite the challenges, she's stuck to her decision. Her long nails have made her famous around the world.
