JAKARTA - Yani Williams, from Houston, Texas, broke the record as the owner of the longest nails in the world. Now, he sells these nails at fantastic prices.

After spending nearly three decades growing her 38 inches long, or over 18 feet of fingernails, this eccentric grandmother decided to sell them.

The grandmother expects her to get 35,000 pounds (Rp670 million) from selling her nails and she has advertised it on Facebook.

The 54-year-old said, with her unusual nails, she had trouble driving the car, buttoning up her jeans and, most importantly, injecting insulin because she had diabetes.

"I had decided to sell it when I separated from my husband six years ago and it was difficult because no one was around to help me anymore," Yani said as quoted by the Daily Star, Thursday, December 31.

"I have diabetes now and it's hard to inject myself."

Grandma only intended to sell her nails at the right price. He already got an offer, but the price was too low.

The mother of five only received an offer of 75 pounds (Rp1, 4 million) per nail. According to him, it's not enough: "I'm not going to cut them until I get the right sellers. They will continue to grow until then."

Yani started growing her nails in 1992. When she started it took her time to get support from the man who later became her husband.

"At first she was not supportive but over time she fell in love with my nails. The first thing I noticed when these nails started to get longer was that I couldn't do the dishes anymore and I needed my husband to help me around the house but it seems like it's a big price. cheap to pay. "

Coating his nails with acrylic to make them stronger, Yani said it took up to five days to paint the ten nails with a new color.

In 2018, the Guinness World Records measured Yani's nails, confirming their total length was 18 feet 10.9 inches.

This record was previously held by Christine "The Duchess" Walton, who cut her nails at a total length of 23 feet 11 inches.

Now, Yani's nails are even longer, each nail varying from 28 to 38 inches.
