A WOMAN who hasn’t cut her nails for 35 years, has shared an insight into how she lives with her “wolverine” claws.
The woman, known only as @goldeeceelocs10’s nails have grown to a very impressive length over the years, and are about the size of a ruler, or a Curly Wurly chocolate bar.

Each nail is adorned with a different, colourful and elaborate pattern and she explained that they don’t break easily due to the protection given to them by acrylic overlays.
The nail fan began to grow her fingernails at age 27, and now, aged 62, said that she hardly even notices that they are there.
@goldeeceelocs10 revealed that she was born with a condition called koilonychia, caused by a severe iron deficiency and because of this, she has very short nail beds and her nails grow in an upward ‘spoon pattern’.
This means that they don’t curl like other people’s nails, and hang instead hang vertically from her hands.
The TikToker is now retired, but said that she worked in the US postal service for 34 years, all whilst having her incredibly long nails.
She often shares demonstrations of how she does basic day to day activities via videos posted to social media.
In one TikTok video, the woman shared how she puts her hands into her pockets.
She revealed that she tucks in her thumbs and throws her nails over the back of her hands, before sliding them into her pockets, with the nails sticking out.
In another video she shared how she gets her card out of an ATM machine.
She explained that she uses pliers to grab the card and pull it out of the machine.
In a third video, @goldeeceelocs10 revealed how she opens her car door.
She slid her fingernails through the handle, pushed the button with her thumb, and then pulled the door open.
The TiKToker’s videos have gained millions of views, and she has over 1.2 million followers on the video sharing platform.
However, not everyone is a fan of her super long nails.
Commenting under one video, one person said: “wolverine”.
Another person added: “Are you crazy?”
However, many people are supportive of the TikToker’s unique lifestyle choice.
One person said: “Love these videos and the nails”.
Another person said: “Finally some extra long nails that actually look fire and stylish”.
