Talking about her experience, she said, “I’ve been growing my nails for a few decades now. I’m so, so ready for a new life.

According to the reports by the Guinness World Records, her fingernails will now be preserved and on display at the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum in Orlando, Florida. Speaking about it, Williams said, "It’s gonna be awesome. It’s going to be a like a wax of myself even though it’s just my nails. I can’t wait to see that, for real. I’m going to be grinning from ear to ear. Just really think about it, it’s amazing".
