Most Nails Filed And Varnished In Eight Hours

On Thursday 13 May I went to London College of Beauty Therapy in London UK, with fellow adjudicator, Louise Ireland, to witness theGuinness World Records attempt at most nails filed and varnished in 8 hours. Around 100 treatment stations had been arranged over 4 rooms. All students participating would have to be certified to work on the public, so we began by selecting a number of students at random and checking their qualifications. The event had been organised as a fund raiser for women's charity 'W.O.W.' ('Wellbeing of Women'). The attempt began at 11 am, by which time there was already a long queue outside the college waiting to have the free treatments that had been advertised for the Guinness World Records attempt.

As per the Guinness World Records guidelines, women would receive a file, a base coat, 2 coats of varnish and a top coat, and men would receive a file and a buff to shine. To my surprise there were large numbers of men as well as women queuing for the treatments, known as ‘mini-manicures’, not to mention one or two pirates!

As the day went on we kept a constant eye on all students giving treatments to make sure a high level of quality was maintained. At the end of each hour all record cards filled in by each person receiving the mini-manicures were counted in the finance department. The tension built as the last hour approached, and due to the huge queue outside, a new treatment room was set up to cater for the waiting members of the public.

When we reached 7 pm a claxon sounded and we collected the final record cards for counting. A total number of 1,897 mini-manicures had been achieved in 8 hours, an impressive new Guinness World Records achievement.
