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
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.
