Question

What is the ruling for Muslim women keeping long nails in Islam? Some women saying they can go for 40 days without clipping their nails...

Answer

This is the style of kuffaar and satanists. Their culture is to appear well even though in the process they have to be filthy and dirty.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
