MEET: Chris Walton: The Woman With The World's Longest Nails

A singer who hasn't cut her fingernails in two decades has shown off her incredible talons at the Guinness World Records 2014 launch in London.

 

Chris Walton, 47, holds the title for the world's longest fingernails after she stopped clipping them in 1993. They now reach more than 20 feet, twisting and turning in a way that would appear to make even the most simple tasks near impossible.

The grandmother is better known by her stage name 'The Dutchess' in Nevada and California. But 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.
