Long nails are always fashionable, but growing them can be a problem for many. 59-year-old Cornelia Adams has not only had success with it, but has also proven that it is possible to live perfectly with nails that are 30 cm long.
This American woman started growing her nails in 1989 and she hasn’t touched them with scissors since.
In the beginning, this was largely because of her mother. The girl saw her mother’s long nails and wanted to have the same ones.
But when Cornelia let her nails grow like her parents’, she wanted them even longer and stopped filing them.Adams quickly got used to the extreme length and has been comfortable for 33 years.
Others wondered how she could do housework with nails that were 12 inches long.As it turned out, everything is very simple.She does almost everything with her ankles.
For example, she washes dishes, brushes her teeth and answers the phone.“When I need to take something, I bend my fingers and the nails fall to the inside of my hand.So they don’t bother me at all,” explained our heroine.
For Cornelia, the only problem is the kitchen.The nails get in the way when turning kibble in the pan or mixing something.But despite this small problem, she doesn’t want to part with this length of nail at all.
Over the years she has gotten used to her nails and can no longer imagine life without them.“The best thing about long nails is the attention,” says Cornelia Adams.However, this attention is often negative.
Netizens ask: “How do you live with such long nails?” Is that even possible?”, “How do you eat?”, “Why do you torture yourself?”, “Make your hands look normal, with short nails, and you look terrible,”
“Those nails of yours are definitely holding you back about doing household chores”, “You probably scare off the people around you”.
Cornelia reacts enthusiastically to these comments and tries to make it clear that she is happy and has nothing to worry about.
