02 Oct Teachers Beg Teen To Cut Nails After Three Years Of Growth Has Left Her Unable To Use A Pen

The fairer sex are known for their long nails, and thanks to social media the trend for nail art has grown exponentially. Now, women are growing their nails longer than ever before so that they can paint them with intricate designs.

However, there’s definitely a limit to how long a woman can grow her nails before they make her life difficult. No one wants to accidentally jab themselves with a talon of their own making. That’s why I file my nails every few days.

But a student who claims to be “scared of nail clippers” has taken the trend for long, immaculately painted nails to a whole new level. She hasn’t cut her nails since August 2014, and now it’s seriously affecting her ability to do her schoolwork.

Simone Taylor, 16, from Nuremberg, Germany struggles with various everyday tasks too because of her 5.8 inch thumbnails and 4.6 inch fingernails. She has even said that it is difficult for her to take a shower and get dressed in the morning.

Pictured below are Taylor’s nails a year after she started growing them in October 2015.

What’s more, she has to use her knuckles to type and is unable to hold a pen, which could have a potentially devastating effect on her future. “I have exams at the moment and it’s hard to write, after one hour of writing my hands really hurt,” she explained.

Simone once broke a nail, and the anguish she felt inspired her to never cut them again. This is what her nails look like now…
