Lee redmond 28 ft fingernails

Lee Redmond, a 68-year-old woman's record-breaking 28-foot long fingernails were cut short - tragically in a car crash!

The Salt Lake City, Utah native said it was the most dramatic event of her life when the car accident robbed her of her 28-foot-4-inch fingernails.

Redmond, who parted ways with her claws in February, says life is much easier without them and her hands seem to fly with the weight of the nails gone.

Despite pleas from her great-grandchildren to 'glue them back on', she won't grow her nails again, saying it took 30 years to get them to that length and she probably won't live for another 30.

Redmond hadn't cut her nails since 1979 and entered the Guinness World Records book in 2002 for longest fingernails on a woman.

Speaking about the loss of her nails, Redmond said, 'The thing that bothered me with losing the fingernails was that it becomes your identity and I felt like I'd lost part of that."

RIP longest fingernails! Pictures and video below to weird you out.
