They are now so ridiculously long that they actually reach the floor. The longest - her right thumbnail - measures 138.94 cm (4 ft 6.7 in) while the smallest - her left pinky - measures 109.2 cm (3 ft 7 in).
Combined together, her nails measure a whopping 1,306.58 cm (42 ft 10.4 in).
Unsurprisingly, maintaining them is quite the task - as is attempting to complete everyday chores.
Picking things up off the floor can be a challenge, meaning that she often has to rely on others around the house to help her with certain tasks.
Getting a manicure - something that she only has done every 4-5 years - is another major undertaking, requiring a carpentry tool for filing and around 15 to 20 bottles of nail polish.
As things stand, however, she has no plans to cut her record-breaking nails, not even if someone paid her to do it.
