Lee Redmond has entered the Guinness World Records for longest fingernails on both hands in 1971.

While "researching" the Guinness World Record Holder for the most surgical procedures we came across something far more interesting: Lee Redmond, the woman with the longest nails in the world.

A native of Salt Lake City, Lee stopped filing her nails 27 years ago, and since then they've grown to be 33" long. We're impressed that she can keep them from chipping and splitting in that cold, dry winter air!

We do applaud her dedication to nail care -- in some ways she's a woman after our own StyleList hearts. Lee says it takes her weeks to complete a manicure. She buys nail polish by the case, and nailpolish remover by the gallon!

ee Redmond holds the record in the Guinness Book of Records for longest fingernails on both hands. She lives in Salt Lake City, Utah and has been growing her nails ever since 1979. She is frequently referred to as The Queen of Long Nails and she has made appearances on CBS and Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum.

Although she had planned to cut her nails on November 22 2006, so she could better tend to her husband, who suffers from Alzheymer’s, she ultimately decided to keep growing them.
