The world is wide, any kind of special hobby can exist. Despite the inconvenience in daily life, the 59-year-old woman persisted in growing her nails for 30 years.

According to The Sun, because she loves her mother's long-sleeved dishes very much, since 1989, Cordelia Adams (59 years old, in Gary, Indiana, USA) decided to grow her nails. At one point, this woman's fingernails were up to 40cm long.

Cordelia had many difficulties in the beginning of growing her nails, but after many years of owning special nails, she was completely used to them. Currently, she wants to keep her nails at a length of 30cm, so she always pays attention to trimming so that the nails have the desired length.

Originally a nail technician, Cordelia was looking for ways to make everyday life more convenient. For example, she often uses knuckles instead of fingertips. "If I'm making something, like a burger, using my fingertips to flip the meat over and over is definitely going to be difficult for me," Cordelia says.

Talking about her unique nails on TikTok, the woman said: "The best thing about owning super long nails is getting attention. I joined TikTok during the outbreak and just I do it for fun because I see people doing funny things on it. However, just one video of me washing my hands has attracted 17 million views."

Despite the difficulties in daily life, and negative comments, Cordelia still loves her nails. The woman treats her 30cm long nails like a work of art, regularly drawing dramatic and intricate patterns on each nail.

"Much of my sister's life has been spent growing her nails. So if I cut them off like people say, my sister will no longer be herself," Yalonda - Cordelia's sister said.

But Cordelia is not the only person in the world with this bizarre and inconvenient hobby.

Ayanna Williams, from Houston, Texas, USA, once set the Guinness World Record for the person with the longest nails in the world in 2017, with a total length of up to 5.8m. At that time, she had to use two bottles of nail polish and more than 20 hours to complete the manicure.

Ayanna said, there was a time when the nails were up to 7.33m, but to complete the nail job, it would take 3-4 bottles of nail polish, along with the trimming and care process that lasted for many days.

Sharing about this decision, Ayanna Williams said that with or without long nails, she is still "the queen", because "the nails do not make me, I am the one who makes the nails".

However, because she realized the inconvenience in life, she said that she would grow the nails to a total length of over 15cm in the future.

To catch up with the world, there is also a mutant in Vietnam who is passionate about growing long nails. Coming to Giao Yen commune, Giao Thuy district, Nam Dinh province, almost no one does not know Mr. Luu Cong Huyen, a 58-year-old man, famous for his special nails that have not been cut for 35 years. It is known that his longest nail is also up to 55 cm, while the shortest is about 15 cm long.

According to Mr. Huyen, the special nails made him face many difficulties in daily life. To keep his nails from breaking, he had to ask his wife, Nguyen Thi Thuan, to help with everything from bathing to eating. "Personal hygiene things like brushing my teeth and washing my face I can do it myself. But I have to ask my wife to do the washing and bathing. When the nails are soaked in water, they will be soft and easy to fall off", Mr. Huyen confided. That's why he rarely showered. Out in the rain, he even had to wrap his nails in a plastic bag to prevent rainwater from seeping into his "precious collection".

The people of Giao Yen seem to be familiar with the strange nails that grow as long as the roots. But Mr. Huyen admitted that children still cry every time he passes by. Some people even call him "mutant", "mutant" or "devil's nails", but that doesn't make him want to cut them.

Despite having long entangled nails, Mr. Huyen still does a good job as a builder, even has a talent for painting, specializing in painting for temples or churches. In the past, he only worked near his home, but rumors circulated, many people hired him to paint at a high price.

Sticking with special nails for the past 35 years, Mr. Huyen still works every day to earn a living, and at the same time decides to stick with the hobby of raising nails until the end of his life.
