The longest fingernails belonged to American Lee Redmond, who started to grow them in 1979 and carefully manicured them to reach a total length of 8.65m (28ft 4.5in). Lee lost her nails in a car accident this year. Melvin Boothe, also from the US, has a set of fingernails that had a combined length of 9.85m (32ft 3.8in)
