A Vietnamese artist who has spent three decades of his life growing out his fingernails is officially a record holder. Lưu Công Huyền has the world’s longest fingernails on a pair of hands (male) with an unbelievable measurement of 594.45 cm (19 ft 6 in). That's more than the height of the average adult giraffe.

Lưu Công Huyền's extraordinary nails feature in the new Guinness World Records 2026 book, out now. Click the link in our bio to read and watch more. #gwr2026
