The worlds longest fingernails - something for Jack

Ever since I cut Jacks nails on the weekend I've been promising him I'll get a picture of the man or lady (we now have "ladies" in our family vocabulary, only with kids eh) with the longest nails in the whole wide world ... and here she is (via The Sun, so it must be true):
Verified by Guinness World Records: Longest fingernails on a pair of hands (female)

QUEST: Plus-One BetterPick three people:
